Comments
The cover is like the Sgt. Pepper's original, but the Beatles are in yet another pose.

Says: (P) 1967 Original Sound Recordings made by EMI Records Limited right on the back cover!

Like Sgt. Pepper's, the lyrics are printed on the red back with the Beatles standing about.

Side 1: tracks 1-7
Side 2: tracks 8-14

   1. Sgt Pepper Inner Groove (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)
(unidentified) (date unknown)
The Beatles 2. A Day In The Life (Lennon/McCartney)
RM1 Take 6 20 Jan 1967 SS.SGT.13.06.RM1 The Beatles Take 6 features new vocals by John, a bass line, Paul's vocals and Ringo's drums.
Paul's part (from take 6) was edited on take 2 on Anthology 2.

RM1 (30 Jan 1967) is a very rough mix intended for demo acetate. Starts out with the infamous 'inner groove' and sounds like a real early take of the song. 3. Strawberry Fields Forever (Lennon/McCartney)
(unidentified) (date unknown)
A short, acoustic guitar version with John on vocals. Only the first verse or so. 4. Only A Northern Song (Harrison)
(unidentified) (date unknown)
The Beatles Just like the Yellow Submarine version. 5. Penny Lane (Lennon/McCartney)
(unidentified) (date unknown)
Not the completed take, but very nearly. Much, much cleaner than Rarities. Has that most excellent horn bit on the end. 6. All You Need Is Love (Lennon/McCartney)
Take 58 TV 25 Jun 1967
The Beatles This may be the actual studio recording from the 'Our World' satellite broadcast as it sounds like the video to this event, but again damn awful clean! 7. It's All Too Much (Harrison)
(unidentified) (date unknown)
The Beatles Slightly different, but then again it's not. Perhaps just an unperfected mix. The guitar is much more raw and brilliant here.
Has that extra verse from the Yellow Submarine movie, so maybe it's really from the movie. 8. A Day In The Life (Lennon/McCartney)
RS Unknown Take 6, 7 & Edit Piece 9 20 Jan 1967 SS.SGT.13.0607.RSa The Beatles This alternate stereo mix (# unknown) is very much like the official release except for some details. John's count in still present.
Unlike the other previous attempts, this one is complete and features the Edit Piece 9 (note that some bootlegs present this version without the edit piece 9) Unknown stereo mix, 22 Feb 1967.

Like the version from 'Not for Sale'. A much better recording though. You can definitely hear the piano bench creak and the shh! just after. 9. Magical Mystery Tour (Lennon/McCartney)
(unidentified) (date unknown)
The Beatles From the film with John speaking:
'When a man buys a ticket for a Magical Mystery Tour, he knows what to expect. We guarantee him the trip of a lifetime! And that's just what he gets, the incredible Magical Mystery Tour!' 10. The Fool On The Hill (Lennon/McCartney)
Demo Take 1 6 Sep 1967

Same as on 'Strawberry Fields Forever' but much cleaner 11. The Bus (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)

The Beatles 12. Blue Jay Way (Harrison)
