The title track of this epochal album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was a fine Paul McCartney song utilizing - in addition to the usual Beatles instrumental line-up - four French horn players (overdubbed on 3 March), various sound effects including those of a band warming-up and audience applause and laughter from the Beyond The Fringe stage recording, and a terrific McCartney lead vocal. The song inspired the concept of the album, not the other way around, so until this recording commenced on 1 February 1967 the two preciously taped album songs had not shared any deliberate, connecting thread.
