'Reprise' was one of the last things recorded for Pepper. There was a need for something near the end of the album, because it was already decided that 'A Day In The Life' would be the closer. As the original idea of the album was to be like a show, it was decided to reprise the opening song as the penultimate performance leading into the grand finale. And thank God. Would you have ADITL following Good Morning, Good Morning?
I'm so confused.
I love newbies. They always come in with fresh perspectives and opinions!
It was an excuse to use the line "Sgt. Pepper's One and ONLY lonely heart's club band"
Right. And listen to the mono version and you'll hear Paul shouting all sorts of things in the background just before the fade out to A Day In The Life.
The mono Pepper is excellent!
