Getting very near the end, the Beatles recorded the last new number for Sgt. Pepper just two days before Paul was committed to fly out to America, the sessions over. Possibly for this reason, but also because of technically less complicated than the other tracks, this final song - the reprise version of the title cut - was started, completed and mixed in a single session, albeit one that didn't finish until six o'clock the following morning. The master was Take 9, with overdubs - the version on the Anthology set is a basic track, Take 5, with Paul's guide vocal.

The quickest and technically simplest song on the album, this reprise and abbreviated re-make of Paul's album title track as recorded from start to finish in just one session on Sunday 1 April 1967, with all four Beatles sharing the lead vocal. Two days later, Paul flew out to the USA leaving only the completion of George's Within You Without You and the final mixing to be done.
