Paul McCartney and U2's interpretation of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band , which opened the London Live 8 concert, has taken its place in history. The song has become the fastest selling download in the history of the internet, debued at the top of the iTunes chart. The Guinness Book of World Records has acknowledged the recording for reaching the number one spot just only 45 minutes after being released. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was first recorded by The Beatles in 1967, but was never available as a single. All profits from the sale of the new version will go to charity. |
