Return to Pepperland is a cancelled Paul McCartney album recorded in 1984–1987. The album was built up of mostly home demos and was a reflection of work from McCartney's career as a member of the English rock band the Beatles.[1] Although it was made around twenty years after the release of the Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (which inspired it), some tracks which made their way onto the bootleg were written whilst McCartney was in the Beatles, including the mashup of Lennon–McCartney-written "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" songs. Other songs turned up on CD-single B-sides including the McCartney/Stewart song "Don't Break the Promise".[1]

The album was produced by Sergeant M Records, but was never officially released, although some versions of the album has surfaced on CD bootlegs over the years.[2]

Personnel

Paul McCartney otherwise played all other instruments. The producer of the album was Phil Ramone.[2]
