In England, MMT was released in a rather irritating double-EP format with six songs on it. The US record company quite sensibly fleshed it out with old singles to make a full album. But it means that in comparing Sgt. P to MMT, we are comparing an album that was composed and produced as an entity with an album that was patched together to suit marketing policy.
Actually I was pointing out that unlike Sgt. Pepper MMT was made up mostly of previously heard "singles" call it what ever you want I do not believe that the album was presented as a "compilation" or that would have been written somewhere on it. So in the end it is pure fiction in my opinion to think that MMT is anywhere close to Sgt. Pepper.
