About

The US version of the single “Hello, Goodbye / I Am The Walrus” contained a different mix of “I Am The Walrus” than the UK version. The US mono single mix includes an extra bar of music before the words “yellow matter custard”. This is actually the original uncut version of the mono mix called RM23.
