THE BEATLES - Sgt. Pepper
Sgt. Pepper's oddity, the official version of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP made by EMI in South East Asia/Malaysia/Hong Kong was censored of three songs that apparently could have possibly been interpreted as being "drug related".
The songs that were removed were With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and A Day In The Life. They were replaced on the album with three songs from the Magical Mystery Tour album; The Fool On The Hill, Baby You're A Rich Man and I'm The Walrus .
In addition, making this record a double oddity, the reverse cover of this album, seen above, did not contain the lyrics to the songs normally found on the back of the Sgt. Pepper's album (probably because it wasn't possible for them to redo all the lyrics including the new songs and without the removed songs). Instead it features the same picture as the normal reverse cover, but without lyrics printed over it, probably the only place this picture was ever seen this way.
