Today's Morning Edition music is from 50 years ago when the Beatles released "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," considered by many to be the greatest rock album of all time.
To mark the anniversary, a deluxe edition of the album has been released. It features remixes of all the songs plus outtakes like the beginning to take four of what would become the last song on side one of the album: "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite."
John Lennon later revealed that he lifted most of the lyrics to that song from a circus poster he bought in an antique store.
