A Day In The Life

4:49 • Studio version • G • Take 2. The other highlight of this new boxed set. Pretty much the same as Take 1 but at the end John improvises with his piano. Starts with a “Take Two” announcement that is new. 2:20 of this song was available before on the Anthology CD 2, now we have it complete running 4:48. It also lacks Paul’s vocal part. The final “Hummm” Take 11 was edited here at the end for some strange reason and on the 2 disc version will be included after Take 1. (For the die-hards, they need to also buy the 2 CD version just for that edit)
