2:35 • Studio version • H • Take 7. The pre take warm up also already available on the Rockband songs but Paul’s count-in is new, it’s not the same count-in from the Anthology 2 CDs: (George Martin: “OK Man let’s go, Lights on”/Paul’s count-in and John whistling) so the count-in here or on the Anthology CDs comes from a different take but not the 7th. The other main difference is that the Anthology Version has double tracked vocal or echo attached to John’s vocal, while on this new release it’s pure, single tracked. the vocal is also centered, while on Anthology it’s on the left channel. Here, the take is complete while on the Anthology, the tape-loops at the end.

1:05 • Outtake • C • Takes 1 and 2. The recordings presented here come from that initial Abbey Road session, 17 February 1967, when the Beatles cut seven takes, beginning with the above dialogue that introduced Take 1, and the performance that followed and immediately broke down. Then there is Take 2, which also broke down, and the ensuing conversation wherein Paul offered John some direction.

2:34 • Outtake • D • The next cut, Take 7, formed the basic for the eventual master (which was Take 9), opening with George Martin encouraging the Beatles to perform, and then pumping away at the harmonium which he played on the track. Near to the end, this recording is crossfaded with an organ and calliope effects tape, prepared on 20 February, that formed part of the final master but is clearer in this new mix.
