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 ! !

Hi NYfan41 - I think almost every song is an amalgam of different takes ... Lewisohn illustrates this a lot, it's a common studio/engineering/production technique.

Doesn't make it any less of a great song though!

I agree, alexis.  I've never cared to dissect the studio productions of The Beatles' early songs.  The "Alternate" series of Beatles albums on the Pear label demonstrate how their songs were put together utilizing different takes.

Fortunately, we have live performances of their early catalog for comparison.

Nice to see that there are young fans as well as older ones.
