Why you may want to buy the 2-CD or vinyl set and the Super Deluxe 'Sgt. Pepper' sets


Copyright Apple Corps Ltd. 

If you thought after seeing the track listings of the four "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" 50th anniversary sets announced April 5 that all the tracks on the smaller sets were the same on the 6-disc Super Deluxe, well they're not. There is a slight variation with one track.

It's an alternate take that's on the two-CD version's second disc and the Super Deluxe second disc. The track specifically is "A Day In The Life” [Take 1 With Hummed Last Chord]" on Deluxe CD 2, which is track 13 and track 4 of side 4 of the vinyl set. It's track 10 on the Super Deluxe set’s second CD. The Super Deluxe version has a slight change because "The Hummed Last Chord" is not paired with Take 1 there, but is included on track 13 on the Super Deluxe set’s 2nd CD -- A Day In The Life (Hummed Last Chord) [Takes 8, 9, 10 and 11]."

So now you know. 

The track listings for both the two-CD, two-disc vinyl and six-disc Super Deluxe from today's release are below, showing what we're talking about. The relevant tracks are highlighted. You can see the full press release issued today with the complete track listing here.
