These are the exact lyrics of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) as printed in the gatefold sleeve of my copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band down to the puncuation and line spacing. This song is a shorter, little more upbeat version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. There are no horns and no organ on the reprise and the lead vocals are a little more washed out to give the effect of them playing the song to a large stadium of people. There's even the on-stage hooting common at rock shows and a cheering crowd to boot.
When Capitol Records released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on 8-track, ten seconds of the ending of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) was edited back onto the end of the track. If you can find the original 8-track or can find a copy of it on the 'net, you'll hear the song approaching the familiar ending (the last time they sing Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) and just right after someone finishes off the song with a 'Woo!', the song repeats it self and plays back the last three lines of the song:
Sergeant Pepper's lonely
Sergeant Pepper's lonely
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The last three lines are followed by the familiar 'Woo!' for a second time and then the song ends like normal. The Capitol 8-Track is the only known place this strange edited version appears.
