Description
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
(16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas)
The idea for a reprise of Sgt Pepper's title track was suggested by The Beatles' assistant Neil Aspinall, who thought the album should be book-ended with words from the imaginary compère.
I said to Paul, 'Why don't you have Sgt Pepper as the compère of the album? He comes on at the beginning of the show and introduces the band, and at the end he closes it. A bit later, Paul told John about it in the studio, and John came up to me and said, 'Nobody likes a smart-arse, Neil'... That was when I knew that John liked it and that it would happen.
-Neil Aspinall
Sgt Pepper (Reprise) was the final music recorded for the album, apart from the strings overdub for Within You Without You. Taped in a single day, it was the perfect rousing performance to introduce the grand finale, A Day In The Life.
The reprise was faster than the previously-recorded title track, and with different lyrics. Opening with McCartney's 1-2-3-4 count-in and Lennon's cheeky "bye", it featured all four Beatles on vocals and was one of the more straightforward rock songs on the Sgt Pepper album.
