the reincarnation of sgt pepper/the fab four

I read about this demo in the swedish computer magazine datormagazin in 1991, the article seems to be copied from cu amiga, where the demo apparently was demo of the month. Has anyone seen it, or better yet, know where to find it on the net?
I have scanned a piece of the article http://hem.passagen.se/hollowdrutt/sgtpepper.jpg
(copy and paste link, if it doesnt work)

The Fab Four has not much content anywhere:
https://demozoo.org/groups/66680/

This page:
https://archive.org/stream/cuamiga-m..._1997_djvu.txt
mentions "the marvellous Reincarnation Of Sgt. Pepper" it also mentions "Brazzle Atkins Collection" as follows:

Brazzle Atkins Collection

Old Demo Selection

Available from: See below

This set of revamped A500 demos mark the
resurrection of the legendary Brazzle Atkins,
a man with a penchant for all things of a psy-
chedelic nature-
Mr Atkins has gone to a certain amount
of trouble hacking and fixing these demos so
they run on your AT 200, utilising its
improved graphics capability. Furthermore,
by allowing them to be dumped straight into
RAM, you are now able to view them
smoothly and without loading delays. As
befits these masterpieces, they are available]
in limited quantities only, in a glorious signed]
and numbered boxed set.

The box contains four digi-movies (Laurel
6 Hardy. Horror Show. Monty Python and
Clockwork Orange), which require 2Mb of
Fast RAM to run. Chaos Rock and Erpland,
and the marvellous Reincarnation Of Sgt.
Pepper. Thi^ trippy demo plays Lucy in the
Sky with Diamonds over related pictures, an
mated by the constant colour scrolling. The
movies are worth a look, but come with an
advisory notice, particularly the one entitled
Horror Show (Directors Cut). Computer
images of Heads exploding can cause
offence, even in artistic shades of grey.

We were sent the set in a lovely video
case collection box which added a nice pro-
fessional touch. These demos can be
Obtained either individually Or in the video
box (if there are any left), try Classic Amiga
PD, Saddletramps, or your usual library, Well
worth a look, particularly if you are of a psy-
chedelic disposition

So instead of searching "Reincarnation Of Sgt. Pepper" in vain, one should search "Brazzle Atkins Collection" PD disk (or CD) mentioned at:
http://www.youngmonkey.ca/nose/magazines/CUAmiga-r.html
with mention it on page 64.

The information is on "CU AMIGA MAGAZINE issue November 1997 page 64 which for some (copyright?) reason is missing in
https://amr.abime.net/issue_657_pages

Yumpu features readable version of "CU AMIGA MAGAZINE issue November 1997:
https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/re...ore-is-awesome

Brazzle Atkins search is another dead end:
http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/author.php?id=67980

If "the demo apparently was demo of the month", it looks like it was in another CU AMIGA MAGAZINE" issue and finding that issue or Datormagazin issue about it will not help finding "Reincarnation Of Sgt. Pepper" or "Brazzle Atkins Collection" containing also "Reincarnation Of Sgt. Pepper".

If someone ever finds this demo, I'm intrested to see what is so 'marvellous' about it as CU Amiga reviewer wrote.

I cannot promise anything but I think I may have the Brazzle Atkins collection stashed away

EDIT: I even posted about this back in 2014

https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=70477

EDIT2: Quick search on the eab ftp threw up this but its not much!
