3:00 • Studio version • E • Stereo • 2015 mix - This new mix basically has a lot moved around, and some instruments are at noticeably different volumes. Ringo’s tapping (center) is much louder in this mix, being somewhat distracting; the drums are also somewhat louder throughout. The bass is mainly at C in the 1971 mix (all but the overdub near the end) but is at L during the 2015 mix. The piccolo trumpet solo by David Mason during the instrumental bridge is at Right in the 1971 mix but is at Center here, and there seems to be more of it at the beginning of the bridge. The tambourine is at left instead of center. The vocals singing “there beneath the blue suburban skies” are at left and right in the new mix (instead of center). One guitar is at the left instead of center. The extra “grinding” guitar bits that are most noticeable during the last verse are much louder in the new mix. The horns are in different locations during the final choruses, too.

3:01 • Studio version • D • Stereo • The version presented here is a unique combination of the many different takes and sounds that comprised that original master, broken down - in some cases instrument by instrument - and remixed anew from a 24-track tape. In this way one can hear a certain parts quite differently: Paul's vocal is only single-tracked, the bridge section highlights the overdubs of cor anglais and trumpets effected on 12 January, and the piccolo trumpet overdub featured near to the conclusion of the master is heard here in extended form. And then there is "a suitable ending"...

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (50th anniversary boxset)
Official album • Released in 2017
2:56 • Studio version • F • Take 6 – Instrumental. One of the highlights of this new Deluxe set not available before. Paul starts the count-in and the familiar piano notes, but from the second 41 the song adds a different rhythm buried on the final take (and also buried on the Anthology CD2 version that uses part of this take). This is like hearing a new Penny Lane version with instruments and elements not present on the final or the other known takes.

Just the boys hearing through their headphones a rough cut of the song while they add some “da da daa” and handclaps (and sing some parts at the same time but not for recording, just to keep track of their “hand clap overdubs”). Still, new and nice to hear.
