According Mark Lewisohn's The Beatles Recording Sessions, the mono mix of I'll Cry Instead was made on June 4 1964 but it didn't say anything about two mono mixes and that means two different time lengths. The mono mix of I Am The Walrus was also made on September 29 1967 since King Lear was added, but the book didn't say anything about two mono mixes that were each released in the UK and the US either. Right, guys?

As you know Daniel, the longer version is not really a different "mix". It would be more accurate to call it a different "edit".

Are you saying that the longer version of I'll Cry Instead is a different edit, not a different mix?

That is my opinion. What do you think?

I think the answer is yes.

Glad we sorted that out.

One other thing. Do you think that the mono mixes of I'll Cry Instead and I Am The Walrus were each released in worldwide?
-
It doesn't matter what I think.
Tell us Daniel.. what are the facts.

Daniel, mono mixes of I'll Cry Instead and I Am The Walrus were released worldwide. Here in the United States, United Artists released A Hard Day's Night in both mono and stereo. This album included I'll Cry Instead.

I won't get into the different US single mixes of I Am The Walrus. You already are aware of those.
Parlophone relesed the double EP Magical Mystery Tour in both mono (MMT 1-2) and stereo (SMMT 1-2).

What does Daniel think?

I think I'm right. And by the way, the mono mix of I Am The Walrus was released on a single in worldwide.

One more thing, guys. Which year was the extra stroke on I Am The Walrus that's next to "Yellow Matter Custard" first heard in the United Kingdom? And which year was the extra stroke on I Am The Walrus that's next to "Yellow Matter Custard" first heard in stereo?

Daniel, the US mono single mix had the extra bar preceding "yellow matter custard" and was released here in the United States in 1967. There was no true stereo version of I Am The Walrus released with that extra bar of music either here or in the UK.
The 1980 US Capitol LP Rarities has a hybrid mix of I Am The Walrus described thusly: Stereo, new mix compiled from US single and UK album mixes: six-bar intro and extra beats before the "Yellow matter custard" verse; not available on CD
-
But a true stereo of I Am The Walrus released with that extra bar of music was released on Anthology 2 since it's lacking the bass, orchestra, the singing choir and last but least, the King Lear broadcast.

Right. I was talking about single and LP releases in 1967 with the bass, orchestra and choir. That's the full song in my opinion. The Anthology 2 release is interesting though and is true stereo without the deleted tracks.

By the way, I have something for you to download.

It's a full true stereo version of I Am The Walrus since the extra stroke that's next to "Yellow Matter Custard" is heard. And that's not all.
