    DDSI.31.64 3:52 • Studio versionE • Stereo • 2015 mix - This is a new mix, but it mainly follows the single mix. The stray sound after “for though they may be parted” is absent, but Paul’s sour piano note during the final verse is present. The “oohs” pan from L to R the first time in the single mix, and then they stay at R; in the 2015 mix they appear at L & R and are stationary. There is an overdub right before the bridge that sounds slightly louder here. The guitar overdub comes in during the last verse at center and soft, just like in the single mix; however, the overdub moves to the right, and it sounds like it’s the second overdub now instead of the first; the single mix remains with the first overdub at center.
