"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (Reprise)

When the Beatles still did live shows, they would always thank the audience prior to their last song. Their assistant Neil Aspinall suggested doing something similar to lead into the last track on "Sgt. Pepper." So they did a much shorter, faster arrangement of the title track where they acknowledged the fake crowd, then segued into the final song. Just one more instance of the Fab Four thinking way, way outside the box. This even faster mono version was pressed onto red vinyl for Japanese record buyers.
