A new dimension of strangeness and magic. It's time for tea and Dr.
Robert takes the Nowhere Men on a psychedelic trip. Surreal, colorful, these
fields are forever out there, really out there. Afterward, a parade of whimsical
instruments conjured out of pure fantasy plays the overture that heralds the
return of the Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Dr. Robert introduces the Nowhere Men to an unusual tea drinking ritual.
This rather unusual tea ceremony performed around a mysterious piano slingshots
the Nowhere Men to the outer reaches of psychedelia.
Meanwhile, time runs away
with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which springs to life in its full
regalia in a moment of hallucinogenic hilarity. Continuing the journey, this
shape shifter of time and sounds emerges reborn with instruments imbued with
fantasy and whimsy marching on to its own fantastical tune.
In the original musical presentation, "Strawberry Fields" built up from an
acoustic demo (Take 1, featured on "Anthology") through various other takes
before reaching the released version. To celebrate LOVE's 10th anniversary, the
released version of the song is used.
Additional inclusions in the closing stages
of the mix are the orchestral section from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band", the piano solo from "In My Life", the brass from "Penny Lane", the cello
and harpsichord from "Piggies", and the coda of "Hello, Goodbye."
