Since Seasons 2 & 3 are so short, I decided to put their mixes into one post.
Season 2
“Eight Days A Week”: Mono mix, uncut. The sing-a-long version is missing the intro.
“Girl”: Mono mix, fades early. This song never became an episode.
“I’m Looking Through You”: US mono mix, minus the false starts at the beginning. Once again, John is incorrectly depicted as the singer.
“Help!”: Stereo mix, uncut. The mono mix has sloppier vocals, and it was that version which appeared in the movie. The sing-a-long version seen in Season 1 has a small edit near the end. This song was used as the theme song for Season 2, complete with the James Bond parody that precedes it on the American release.
“The Night Before”: Mono mix, the guitar part at the beginning is cut, and so is the solo. This song never became an episode.
“We Can Work It Out”: Mono mix, uncut.
“I’m Down”: Bizarrely, this song is at a lower pitch than it should be. Other than that, it’s the normal mono mix. This song never got a sing-a-long segment.
“Run For Your Life”: Once again, this song is at a lower pitch than it should be. The sing-a-long version also chops off the intro.
“Drive My Car”: Mono mix, uncut. This song was never made into a sing-a-long.
“Yesterday”: Mono mix, intro slightly trimmed. This song was never made into an episode.
“Tell Me What You See”: Mono mix, uncut. This song never got a sing-a-long.
“I Call Your Name”: Mono mix. Note how the cowbell starts right away during the intro. Stereo mixes of this song also have a different guitar.
“She’s A Woman”: US mono mix with extra reverb, uncut. This song was never made into an episode, and later reruns replace it with a repeat of “I Feel Fine”.
“The Word”: Mono mix, shortened. This song was never made into a sing-a-long.
“All My Loving”: Mono mix, uncut. The sing-a-long that aired in Season 1 cuts the instrumental break.
“Day Tripper”: Mono mix, uncut. Note how the tambourine briefly goes quiet to hide tape problems. The sing-a-long version is missing the intro.
“Nowhere Man”: Mono mix, uncut. The sing-a-long version is shortened.
“And I Love Her”: US mono mix. Note how Paul’s vocals are single-tracked for most of this version. This song was never made into an episode.
“Michelle”: Mono mix, heavily shortened. This song never got an episode.
“Paperback Writer”: Mono mix, uncut. Note the different echo at the end of the last verse.
Season 3
“Penny Lane”: Mono mix, uncut. The sing-a-long version cuts out the trumpet break and part of the final chorus.
“Rain”: Mono mix. The intro, the second chorus, and the backwards vocal part are cut. This song was never made into an episode.
“Strawberry Fields Forever”: Mono mix. The Mellotron intro is missing, and the song ends right before we hear John’s infamous “cranberry sauce”. The sing-a-long version is even shorter, ending before the final verse.
“And Your Bird Can Sing”: Mono mix, uncut. This song was used as the theme song for Season 3.
“Got To Get You Into My Life”: Mono mix, fades early. The sing-a-long version is even shorter.
“Good Day Sunshine”: Mono mix, uncut.
“Ticket To Ride”: Mono mix, uncut. The song can also be heard in several Season 1 episodes, such as “I’ll Be Back”, where the evil mountain men play a screwed up, distorted version of it on stage.
“Taxman”: Stereo mix, countdown cut. Note how the cowbell starts during the second chorus. It starts before that in the mono mix. This song was never made into a sing-a-long.
“Here, There, And Everywhere”: Mono mix, second verse cut. This song was never made into an episode.
“Eleanor Rigby”: Stereo mix, uncut. Note how the ADT accidentally continues into the first verse. Also, you have to laugh at the fact that the episode shows The Beatles playing along with their guitars, even though there is not a single guitar in the song.
“Tomorrow Never Knows”: Stereo mix, uncut. Note the feedback whistle after the backwards guitar break. Speaking of the guitar, the episode depicts it as someone blowing a giant horn, for some reason. This song was never made into a sing-a-long.
“She Said She Said”: Mono mix, shortened. This song was never made into an episode.
“I’ve Just Seen A Face”: Mono mix, uncut. This song was never made into a sing-a-long.
“Wait”: Mono mix, uncut.
“I’m Only Sleeping”: US mono mix. This version is missing a lot of the backwards guitar parts, and, in fact, was released before the song even came out in Britain. Since this is the last episode, there was no sing-a-long made for it.
