Context: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is a song written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney), and first recorded and released in 1967, on the album of the same name by the Beatles.  The song appears twice on the album: as the opening track (segueing into "With a Little Help from My Friends"), and as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)", the penultimate track (segueing into "A Day in the Life").  As the title song, the lyrics introduce the fictional band that performs on the album. Sgt. Pepper Live is a performance by the American rock band Cheap Trick with a full orchestra, released on August 25, 2009, in commemoration of the 42nd anniversary of the release of the historic album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by the Beatles.  Both a live album and a companion DVD of the performance were released.  The album was engineered by Geoff Emerick.  Cheap Trick performed the "Sgt. Pepper Live" show at the Las Vegas Hilton for two weeks in September 2009. Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father is a 1988 multi-artist compilation of 1980s artists recording new versions of the songs on The Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".  The album was produced by the "New Musical Express" to raise money for Childline, the charity founded by the now-defunct BBC1 consumer programme "That's Life! ".  It was also intended to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the original release of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on 1 June 1967. "Within You Without You" is a song written by George Harrison and released on the Beatles' 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".  It was Harrison's second composition in the Indian classical style, after "Love You To", and was inspired by his six-week stay in India with his mentor and sitar teacher, Ravi Shankar, over September–October 1966.  Recorded in London without the other Beatles, the song features Indian instrumentation such as sitar, dilruba and tabla, and was performed by Harrison and members of the Asian Music Circle.  The recording marked a significant departure from the Beatles' previous work; musically, it evokes the Indian devotional tradition, while the overtly spiritual quality of the lyrics reflects Harrison's absorption in Hindu philosophy and the teachings of the Vedas.  Although the song was his only composition on "Sgt. Pepper", Harrison's endorsement of Indian culture was further reflected in the inclusion of yogis such as Paramahansa Yogananda among the crowd depicted on the album cover. Sgt. Pepper's is a tribute album consisting of covers of the entirety of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles.

The album's release coincided with the 25th anniversary of the original Beatles album.  It was the band's last album until 2013's "Smashing Songs of Stage and Screen". Sgt.
