Let’s develop alter egos so we don't have to project an image that we know.” With that being said, “Sgt.Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was the opening song of the album. The lyrics of the song use a lot of metaphor that states that “Sergeant Pepper” A.K.A the Beatles has returned. This song uses the four-track recording which allows for every instrument, voice, or sound that is recorded to be digitally manipulated. Instruments such as guitar, bass, drums, and vocals were all used in this song. With the four-track recording, it made this song a bit different from many other songs, as the Beatles, arranged the songs to their liking, but also each was designed in order to “trade-off between sound quality and the layered complexity of the songs” In side two, there’s another version of “Sgt.Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band” where it was reprised. This version was recorded at a different studio compare to the one where they usual record at. Paul states that because of the new surroundings, “all the shapes around the studio, and all those bubbles there and bumps” it made them jump into a new challenge of jamming
