  7. "I'm Only Sleeping" Stereo, final UK Revolver mix (an early mix was released in the US)

  15. "Sgt. Pepper Inner Groove" Stereo, a piece that ended the original British release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band but was not included on the American version of the album. It consists of a few seconds of 15 kilohertz tone (similar to a dog whistle) followed by two seconds of laughter and noise on the runout groove. The tone is not included on this album but the laughter and noise are featured just before the actual runout groove. It has since been restored, including the high-pitch tone, for all worldwide CD and cassette versions of Sgt. Pepper as well as the 2012 vinyl remaster of the LP.
All songs written by Lennon-McCartney unless stated.
