Songs that completely fade out and then come back in

Did The Beatles invent this? 2 examples from their catalogue are Strawberry Fields and Helter Skelter.
I'm starting this thread because I'm forgetting a ton of others that I've noticed over the years and think "I should put this on a list I make of songs that completely fade out and then come back in".
TIA

Beach Boys did it for each verse on Little Girl I once Knew in 1965.

The start of the song is actually a fade-in, mid-measure, then a quick fade-out and back in.

It does have this:
quote:
The High-Frequency Tone: After the last chord fades out, the band included a 15-kilohertz high-frequency tone. This sound, which is near the upper limit of human hearing, was said to be intended for dogs to hear and react to, adding a playful, experimental touch.
Looped Gibberish: Following the high-frequency tone, a loop of random, nonsensical chatter begins to play. This loop was recorded by The Beatles and was initially pressed into the album's inner groove on vinyl, creating an effect that repeated endlessly on record players that didn’t automatically lift the needle.
For the purposes of this thread, that is not really in the spirit of what I was asking about.
