Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (50th anniversary boxset)
Official album • Released in 2017
4:11 • Studio version • I • Stereo • 2015 mix - The mellotron is at the Center throughout the recording, instead of at left. The drums are centered instead of being at the left. The jangly guitars during the slow take of the song are to the right now, instead of centered. The bass is more prominent in the new mix. The transition between the major takes is a little covered up – being less abrupt than the 1971 stereo mix but not panning like the first stereo mix. The swarmandal moves across from R to L (as 1971 stereo). The extra plink after “think” is there, but it’s not as loud as German stereo. The horns are not as loud in verse 3 and are spread around (some at L, some at C). The guitar at C is softer during the fade. There is more echo on the horns during the fade, or so it seems. “Cranberry Sauce” appears only once.
