There'll be no Sgt Pepper Vol 2
| Quote: | The Beatles’ record label has reportedly banned Harry Hill from naming his new comedy album Sgt Pepper's Vol 2.
The comic had also wanted to recreate the famous Sir Peter Blake cover of the seminal 1967 album – but with knitted characters taking the place of all the stars.
But Apple Records, which is part owned by Paul McCartney, has kyboshed the idea, refusing to grant Hill the right to borrow the title for his imminent collection of comic songs.
Hill’s album is due to be released in around six weeks’ time, ready for the Christmas market, mut leaving little time for a new title to be found or sleeve to be designed.
Apparently, Hill’s label Island are in discussions with Pink Floyd’s management over the possibility of calling it Bright Side Of The Moo
A source told the Sun: ‘Island are now in meltdown because they have no name or artwork. They need to get the CDs manufactured and sent to the likes of HMV and Tesco as soon as possible.
‘There has never been a case where they have had a record on Amazon with Name TBC as it is now.’
Hill yesterday shot the video for his first single off the album, I Want A Baby, about a teenage would-be mum.

Don't we all wish Avalon were working on our publicity? This story is, of course, bollocks.
You don't need permission to do a parody, as this page of Sgt Pepper parodies demonstrates: http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/sgt-peppers-parodies/
The only thing you would need permission for would be to cover an actual song and change the lyrics. Maybe this story began with Harry attempting to do that, in which case fine. But it's grown into something which, in the version on Chortle, is nonsense.

they're pretty shitty parodies of the Let It Be cover, looks more like Abbey Road.
