The pig sound effects are quite different between the stereo and the mono release.

The Beatles - Don’t Pass Me By - The Beatles (Starkey) mono version is much faster than the stereo, and therefore is shorter. The violin sounds at the end are markedly different.

9 10

Mono is 9 seconds longer, long fade, compared to stereo On U.S. album: - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Taxman - Revolver (Harrison) Lead vocal: George On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP

The mono mix is more punchy (that a technical term) and The cowbell, starts earlier in mono mix right at "5 per cent appear too small"…later in the stereo version…which changes everything!

The Beatles - I’ll Cry Instead - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP * Something New - Capitol LP The mono mix used in the US Something New is the "long version 20 seconds longer ! that has an additional verse, verse 4, obviously edited in, which repeats the lyrics but not the same recording of verse 1. The UK mono mix and the standard stereo mix are by comparison the "short version". \

WINNER!

10 11

The Beatles - I Feel Fine- A Collection Of Oldies (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ eighth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. On U.S. albums: Beatles ‘65 - Capitol LP

US mono has an enormous reverb effect that may have been done by Capitol. The mock stereo made from it really stands out as the most distorted Beatles cut Capitol ever created.

Still thinking about the BIG quiz question to WIN the Beatles MONO BOX SET

Let’s get out our new MONO white album…. Never Released In The US In Mono

Examine it a bit

The bird sound effects are quite different between the stereo and the mono release.

The Beatles - Blackbird - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Another Paul McCartney solo performance for the “White Album.” Paul wrote “Blackbird” at his Scottish farm house and the song was started and finished in 32 takes, 11 being complete run-throughs of the song, on June 10, 1968. Paul has said the music was inspired by Bach’s “Bourree in E Minor,” which he learned to play at a young age. The tapping sound on the recording is not a metronome. The percussion-like sound keeping the beat is actually Paul tapping his foot on the studio floor, which was separately miked onto one of the tracks. Paul has since revealed that the song was a message of solidarity to black people living in the U.S. “Blackbird” is one of only five Beatles songs Paul chose to perform live during his “Wings Over America” concert tour in 1976.
