The track is a combination of two separate recording sessions,
the simpler version was used for the intro, verse 1 and first chorus,
then the rest of the record is the cello and trumpet version.
The two versions were a semi-tone apart, so, the producer, George Martin,
speeded up the first, and slowed down the second to match up the pitches
and tempo. A real stroke of pure luck.
That's why none of the final record is in concert pitch.
In the final fade out some believed John says,'I buried Paul',
he actually says,'Cranberry sauce'.
