I have a mono mix of Dear Prudence that doesn't fade in...but rather starts with the guitar and a rather
odd long version of Revolution that became fragments of Revolution #1 and #9.
Also have "Get Back"...the Glyn Johns mix of what later became the Phil Spector drenched "Let It Be".

What exactly is the "five hi hat taps" of "All My Loving"? I just have the song on an American/Capitol "Meet The Beatles".

124 tracks on 8 LPs with the following differences:

Across The Universe - (Version 2) produced by Phil Spector. All My Loving - begins with five taps on Ringo's "hi-hat" cymbal.

All You Need Is Love - the mono version.

And I Love Her - contains six bars of acoustic guitar in the fadeout instead of the usual four.

Baby You're A Rich Man - the true stereo version, previously found just on the German Magical Mystery Tour LP.

The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill - appears as it does on The Beatles ("white album"), minus the opening guitar obbligato.

The End/Her Majesty - the pause between the two songs lasts for only five seconds. On Abbey Road, the time between tracks is fifteen seconds.

Get Back - the album version, produced by Phil Spector.

I'm Only Sleeping - the extremely rare version with the slightly delayed guitar solo, previously found just on the U.S. stereo eight-track tape edition of "Yesterday" And Today.

I Am The Walrus - the composite version put together by Capitol Records engineers John Palladino and George Irwin for the U.S. commercial Rarities.

I Feel Fine - the true stereo version that begins with tapping drum sticks, whispering, coughing and Ringo closing his "hi-hat" cymbal.

Let It Be (Version 2) "reproduced for disc" by Phil Spector.

Love Me Do - (Version 1) the rare one with Ringo on drums.

Penny Lane - the composite version from the U.S. commercial Rarities.

She's A Woman - the true stereo version previously available just in Australia and in Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong.

Strawberry Fields Forever - the true stereo version.

Thank You Girl - the original mono version without John's extra harmonica fills.

This Boy - the mono version.
