The Blu-ray and DVD feature the fully restored 1992 documentary The Making of Sgt. Pepper Sessions and, on the fourth CD, the original 1967 mono mix of the album and bonus tracks including three previously unreleased mixes. The audio CDs contain the new stereo mix of the album by Giles Martin, two CDs containing over 100 minutes of Sgt. Could that really be Dame Edna standing next to Carol Channing in 1978? A must see, even though - it really is the worst movie ever made.Deluxe six disc (four CDs + DVD + Blu-ray) edition. Anyone who was anyone in 1978 is somewhere in the picture. How on earth did they ever manage schedules to bring together all these acts at the top of their popularity? Framptom, the Bee Gees, Earth Wind and Fire, Sha Na Na?!, Aerosmith?!,Billy Preston, Alice Cooper.Be sure to keep a sharp eye open at the end when the album cover is reprised with a new crowd of faces. I still highly recommend this movie as a cult classic "so bad it is good" kind of experience. At least some of the actors purposely went "over the top" with their perfromances - Steve Martin in the Maxwell's Silver Hammer number comes to mind. The music is absolutely positively horrid - with the exception of a killer "Come Together" by Aerosmith and a decent "Get Back" by Billy Preston. When you see the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton attempting to act you jump out of your seat to shout "don't give up your day jobs!". The dialogue is amateurishly written and usually is poorly delivered. The plot is a lame effort to make narrative sense of the album. Ignore the apologists - this really is the worst movie ever made.
