i don't believe they are completely diferent vocal takes as i mentioned in my post with the two videos.
compare them side by side using the pause button -
the mono version at 1:40
and the stereo version at 1:12
john is minutely flat on the word "hard" (from "hard to reason with you") in both versions to an identical degree and i can't believe they are different takes
i also can't believe one of my favorite songs is proving to be a frankenstein hybrid of lies and studio trickery ! !
(^^ nah, just kidding about that part)
