<P> On the Sgt . Pepper album, the start of "A Day in the Life" is cross-faded with the applause at the end of the previous track, "Sgt . Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)". On the Beatles' 1967--1970 compilation LP, the crossfade is cut off, and the track begins abruptly after the start of the original recording, but on the soundtrack album Imagine: John Lennon and the CD versions of 1967--1970, the song starts cleanly, with no applause effects . </P> <P> Following "A Day in the Life" on the Sgt . Pepper album (as first released on LP in the UK and years later worldwide on CD) is a high - frequency 15 - kilohertz tone and some randomly spliced Beatles studio babble . The tone is the same pitch as a dog whistle, at the upper limit of human hearing, but within the range that dogs and cats can hear . This penultimate touch was part of the Beatles' humour . McCartney would recall how the Beatles thought: "Imagine there are people sitting around and they think the album's finished and then suddenly the dog starts barking and no one will know what the heck's happened ." The studio babble, titled in the session notes "Edit for LP End", and recorded two months after the mono and stereo masters for "A Day in the Life" had been finalised, was added to the run - out groove of the initial British pressing . The two or three seconds of gibberish would loop back into itself endlessly on any record player not equipped with an automatic phonograph arm return . There are even a few variations of the inner groove on different LP pressings . Some listeners have discerned words among the vocal gibberish, Lennon's saying "been so high", followed by McCartney's response: "never could be any other way ." </P> <P> The Anthology 2 album, released in 1996, featured a composite remix of "A Day in the Life", including elements from the first two takes, representing the song at its early, pre-orchestral stage, while Anthology 3 included a version of "The End" that concludes by having the last note fade into the final chord of "A Day in the Life" (reversed, then played forwards). The version on the 2006 soundtrack remix album Love has the song starting with Lennon's intro of "sugar plum fairy", with the strings being more prominent during the crescendos . In 2017, a handful of outtakes from the recording sessions, including the first take, were included on the two - disc and six - disc versions of the 50th - anniversary edition of Sgt . Pepper . The six - disc version of that edition also included, on a disc of mono mixes, a previously unreleased early demo mix of the song in its pre-orchestral stage, as of 30 January . </P> <P> The song became controversial for its supposed references to drugs . The BBC announced that it would not broadcast "A Day in the Life" due to the line "I'd love to turn you on", which, according to the corporation, advocated drug use . Other lyrics allegedly referring to drugs include "found my way upstairs and had a smoke / somebody spoke and I went into a dream". A spokesman for the BBC stated: "We have listened to this song over and over again . And we have decided that it appears to go just a little too far, and could encourage a permissive attitude to drug - taking ." The ban was eventually lifted on 13 March 1972 . </P>
