<P> Before the start of the first take, Lennon sings the words "For the benefit of Mr. Kite!" in a joke accent, then Emerick announces, "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! This is take 1 ." Lennon immediately responds, "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", reinforcing his title preference from a phrase lifted intact from the original Pablo Fanque poster . The exchange is recorded in The Beatles Recording Sessions and audible on track 8 of disc 2 of Anthology 2 . The original recording can also be heard during the loading screen for the song if it is downloaded in the video game The Beatles: Rock Band . </P> <P> Although Lennon once said of the song that he "wasn't proud of that" and "I was just going through the motions", in 1980 he described it as "pure, like a painting, a pure watercolour". </P> <P> "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" was one of three songs from the Sgt . Pepper album that was banned from playing on the BBC, supposedly because the phrase "Henry the Horse" combined two words that were individually known as slang for heroin . Lennon denied that the song had anything to do with heroin . </P> <Ul> <Li> John Lennon--double - tracked lead vocals and harmony vocals, Hammond organ, tape loops and harmonica </Li> <Li> Paul McCartney--bass guitar, harmony vocals </Li> <Li> George Harrison--backwards lead guitar, harmonica, shaker </Li> <Li> Ringo Starr--drums, tambourine, harmonica </Li> <Li> George Martin--piano, harmonium, Lowrey organ, Wurlitzer organ, glockenspiel, tape loops and Hammond organ </Li> <Li> Mal Evans--bass harmonica </Li> <Li> Neil Aspinall--harmonica </Li> <Li> Geoff Emerick--tape loops </Li> </Ul>
