It sounds pretty obvious once you know it, but I never would have guessed until someone pointed it out to me: The original title of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band — one of the Beatles’ most popular albums (and consequently one of the most popular albums period) — was Dr. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band! Wild, huh? When I asked the fine folks at rec.music.beatles for confirmation, Jim Demes wrote me on September 29, 1998: According to BEATLESONGS by William J. Dowlding: “The album was originally titled Dr. Pepper’s…until the Beatles realized an American soft-drink company had rights to that name.” Dowlding got his info from THE BEATLES A TO Z.
