Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) is a Beatles song that was released on June 1, 1967 as the twelfth track on the LP Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band .

The piece was recorded on April 1, 1967 at Abbey Road Studios . Lennon / McCartney are named as the copyright holder .

In the final phase of the Sgt. Pepper album, the Beatles took up Neil Aspinall's suggestion to say goodbye to their audience in a reprise . To enhance the effect of a live recording, they added audience noise in the background, similar to what they did at the beginning of the album. The base track was recorded in a run of nine takes on one day. All Beatles sing together.

The recapitulation was added before A Day in the Life because everyone was of the opinion that this piece was too powerful and needed special space at the end of the album.
