Sgt. Pepper released for Beatles: RB News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii News by Oli Welsh
The second full album add-on for The Beatles: Rock Band is released this week. The seminal 1967 work Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is out on Xbox Live and the Wii Shop today, and will appear on PlayStation Network as part of Thursday's update.
Five songs from Sgt. Pepper are already on the game disc. On 360 and PS3 you have the option of downloading the remaining eight tracks in a "Complete the Album Pack" for £7.49, €8.99, $13.49 or 1080 Microsoft Points. Each song is available individually for 99p, €1.39, £1.99 or 160 MSP if all you want is to see how on earth When I'm Sixty-Four works out.
On Wii, there's no pack, so you'll have to buy the tracks individually. They cost 200 Wii Points each - about £1.50, €2, or $2.
Sgt. Pepper, with its elaborate instrumentation and bizarre vaudeville theme, is credited with elevating the pop album to an art form. Abbey Road came out last month; the fantastic Rubber Soul is up next in December.

By happy coincidence, I was listening to the 2009 Stereo Remaster of Sgt Pepper while reading this. Every time I listen to Pepper I'm reminded what a fantastic album it is. Can't wait for the DLC - although afterthe Abbey Road DLC prevented me getting online I would like to know this pack isn't going to explode my PS3.

Will this have the full proper original version of Within You and Without You, as opposed to the Love mash-up with Tommorow Never Knows that comes on the disc? The mash up is actually a pretty good sounding track but no doubt that the original version of WY&WY, with it long solo in indian sounding instrument would make the better challenge for Rock Bank mechanics.
The guitar solo's on Good Morning Good Morning and Fixin a Hole also will be fun on Rock Bank. I can't wait for Rubber Soul, simply my all time favourite album |

Anyone know if it's possible to buy the Beatles RB drums on their own yet?
I already have the game (bought solo), and several GH guitars! I just want the drums for this game.... |

All the albums should have been there from the start
Yeah, 13 albums, all note-charted and animated with trippy videos designed and built for each track, for £40. Not that your expectations are unrealistically high or anything. I dread to think how much they spent on licensing the music, and it's massively underperformed at retail, wouldn't surprise me at all if they lost money on the project without DLC. |

That's if it arrives on the PSN on time and not a week late like last time.

@ darc
Seriously?! You want The Beatles or as you call it, "The White Album"? Seeing as the best songs from this album came with the game, I see it well down the wanted list. Have another listen to Revolution 9 and then come and join the rest of us begging for Revolver! |

I want revolver, too. But I want Happiness is a Warm Gun more. :)
Re: White Album already being well-represented (debatable), I thought exactly the same thing when they announced the first DLC was going to be Abbey Road. Anyway, I expect that we'll end up with all the tracks eventually, so long as these early releases sell well.

"You mugs are going to end up paying over £300 for this poxy game.
All the albums should have been there from the start" And there should have been free cars for everybody. And a cheeseburger. It's called a business model. Not exactly the essence of "fun", but the alternative is no game whatsoever. |

The fact* of the matter is there is a lot of rubbish on the "white album" and with prudence, ussr and weeps on the disc, I'm happy to wait for the remaining good songs. Having said that, I have just relistened to happiness is a warm gun and concede that it would be great fun to play, maybe I should stop judging them as songs and judge them as rock band songs!
Have also relistened to Sgt. Pepper and will be buying the DLC if only to see how on earth they've made several tracks work for Rock Band. I have a feeling I'm going to be pretty bored sitting at the drums! Abbey road was indeed well represented on the disc but after the first play through of the medley I knew I'd made the correct decision in buying the DLC. I also needed a drink and a rest! *By fact I obviously mean in my opinion! |
