Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)' (crossfades directly into 'A Day in the Life') and 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun' have it too. It goes quiet after 1964 and comes back in 1967 for 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)'. All four of them take the lead on 'Carry That Weight'. Three of them share it on 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)'.
