Product Information

I’m not saying for sure if it was a swipe – however at that time period, Lennon never wrote lyrics without understanding their full impact. The Beatles were at the height of their fame when they came up with the concept for 'Sgt Pepper' in 1967. That song, in turn, featured the line “See how they fly like Lucy in the sky”, a clear reference to Sgt Pepper’s psychedelic masterpiece.

John Lennon also committed the faux pas of wearing a set of miniature Second World War medals on his costume. As well as the references to past Beatles songs, Lennon also inserted a number of new images to assist further myth-making.This short-scale 6-string bass/long-scale baritone guitar (the distinction is blurry with this model) was also featured on several other White Album/Let It Be/Abbey Road tracks (when George and John played bass, it was always this one after 1968). He’d written down down another few words that day, just daft words, to put to another bit of rhythm. At the very centre of that are the resplendent custom-made suits worn by the band, which have gone on to become some of the most recognisable outfits ever worn. The suits were made by Noel Howard, one of the team who designed the original suits in 1967 which adorned the cover of Sgt.

The third part of ‘I Am The Walrus’ started from the phrase “sitting in an English country garden” which, as Davies noted, Lennon was fond of doing for hours at a time. Sartorially speaking, match your other pieces as closely to the colour of your tufted garment as possible.Ringo Starr’s Pepper costume is on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. At least three promotional videos were filmed for “Hello Goodbye”, but not aired by the BBC due to the Musicians Union’s strict rules on miming. If they were real soldiers it would have been incredibly confusing to work out if they were meant to salute you, or you were meant to salute them! Lennon often spoke through stripes and in this sartorial case we're wanting to learn his language, stat.

You relate them to their style too because, as is so often the case with great artists, they understand that clothes, shoes and excellent hats are an essential part of their expression. It’s a great song, but without Martin’s funky string arrangement it would be utterly forgettable rubbish.
