New York Philharmonic sues Cheap Trick over ‘Sgt. Pepper Live’

Cheap Trick may have pulled a costly stunt.

The has-been 70s rockers were slapped with a trademark suit today for falsely claiming that the New York Philharmonic collaborated on their latest release.

The famed orchestra wants unspecified damages over the liner notes to “Sgt. Pepper Live,” a song-for-song remake of the Beatles’ ground-breaking 1967 album.

Both the CD and DVD versions say 25 members of the New York Philharmonic took part in the recording, when they were actually musicians from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the suit says.

Cheap Trick’s record label, Big3 Entertainment — which is also targeted in the suit — didn’t return a request for comment.
