This is what George Martin suggested if "Strawberry Firleds" and "Penny Lane" were not released as a double-sided single. With this track list, Sgt. Pepper would have become the greates album of all time. You will notice that "When I'm Sixty-Four" and "Lovely Rita" were replaced by the two stronger tracks on Side 2 while Side 1 remained intact.
SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (VINYL)
Side 1
1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
2. With a Little Help from My Friends
3. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
4. Getting Better
5. Fixing a Hole
6. She's Leaving Home
7. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
Side 2
1. Within You Without You
2. Strawberry Fields Forever
3. Penny Lane
4. Good Morning Good Morning
5. Sgt. Pepper's [reprise]
6. A Day in the Life
Who knows? Maybe "When I'm Sixty-Four" / "Lovely Rita" as a single would have fared better on the UK chart against another saccharine song, Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me".
