Three versions
from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 50th Anniversary Edition.
On February 1, 1967, the Beatles recorded the rhythm track in nine takes. Paul played rhythm guitar and John played bass -- which Paul later erased and recorded again, using a recently invented gadget called a Direct Injection box, which connected Paul's bass directly to the console without going through an amplifier.
The French Horns were added on March 3rd, with Martin doing his usual transcription of what Paul sang for him.
The orchestra tuning up came from the "A Day in the Life" session, and the murmurs, laughter and applause came from one of Martin's Beyond the Fringe recordings.
The yelling which transitions into "With a Little Help from My Friends" came from a Hollywood Bowl concert.
