UK MONO Original Differences

Here is what is written about the different mixes on the Original UK Mono Recording. Almost every track has some difference, but the following thirteen tracks have the most marked variations.

"Back In The U.S.S.R."

The airplane overdubs occur in different places on the mono and stereo versions.

"Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da"

The stereo version has hand-clapping during the intro, the mono version does not.

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

The stereo version has some vocal sounds from George at the end, the mono version does not.

"Blackbird"

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

"Piggies"

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

"Don't Pass Me By"

The mono version is much faster than the stereo, and therefore is shorter.
The violin sounds at the end are markedly different.

"Why Don't We Do It In The Road"

The stereo version has hand-clapping during the intro, the mono version does not.

"I Will"

The stereo version has more prominent bongos.

"Birthday"

The stereo version has extra vocals at the end of the second chorus.

"Sexy Sadie"

The stereo version has two taps on the tambourine during the intro, the mono version only has one.

"Helter Skelter"

The stereo version has a fade-out/fade-in dummy ending with Ringo's shout of "I've got blisters on my fingers", the mono version does not ! ... this makes the stereo version almost a minute longer.

"Long, Long, Long"

The stereo version is fine, but on the mono, George's double-tracked vocal is embarrassingly out of synch.

"Honey Pie"

The stereo version has a shorter guitar solo than the mono version.
