* The TitleTrack is one of their better album openers, bursting forth with big vocal harmonies and a giddy horn section typical of psychedelic-era Beatles. It's engaging from its immediate opening, to its sudden jump into a ''slower'' tempo, right to the left-field outro - a melancholy, minor-key piano solo that sounds like the dying sounds of an old carnival.

* The surreal yet serene "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" is a hallmark of the psychedelic era ( even though it was not itself drug-inspired). Memorable lyrics, a very catchy tune, and a great vocal performance by John backed by a keyboard riff and sitar drone.

* The animal noise cacophony that closes "Good Morning Good Morning", as well as the ever-shifting time signature of the verses decrying the emptiness of suburban life and the blare of saxophones in the chorus under the almost threatening repetitions of "GOOD MORNING!", make for a great "closer" to Sgt. Pepper's band's performance, leading straight into a high-energy reprise of the title track.

Throw in the chorus under animal noise cacophony in the almost threatening repetitions of "GOOD MORNING!", make for coda, and you have a great "closer" to Sgt. Pepper's band's performance, leading straight into a high-energy reprise of the title track.

* Try to think of any other rock band at the time that could have gotten away with releasing "Revolution 9" in a serious context. Maybe the Mothers of Invention, but that's about it. Not only that, but the piece is a fantastic exhibit of NightmareFuel and a great example of CreepyAwesome
when listened to in the proper atmosphere, and it actually has a sophisticated enough structure to be scored and included in Hal Leonard's ''The Beatles Complete Scores'' alongside all their more conventional material.

* George gets a third songwriting credit in the angst-ridden "I Want to Tell You", the first Beatles song to have a fade-in ''and'' a fade-out. Highlights of the instrumentation include the triplet rhythm of the opening/closing guitar riff and the dissonant piano chord which plays over the second half of each verse.

* Though this album is partly covers from the Beatles' early years on BBC Radio between 1963 and 1965, there's no better insight into the amount of intense energy through this compilation than through Paul's rocking vocals on Little Richard's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phn2Fowl-Pg "Ooh! My Soul"]].
* Another example could be given to Ringo, busting out his underrated drum chops on a cover of Music/ElvisPresley's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBwkYlcT6eQ "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry Over You"]].

** The backing vocalists for the song include [[Music/TheRollingStones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards]] and Jagger's then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull, while [[Music/TheWho Keith Moon]] played brush drums alongside Ringo (both Jagger and Moon can be seen in the ''Our World'' broadcast). In other words, the song features performances by members of perhaps ''the'' three most influential bands of UsefulNotes/TheBritishInvasion. (Further backing vocals are provided by Music/EricClapton and Music/TheHollies' Graham Nash, among many others.)
