Completed by only John and Paul in about 8 1/2 hours. The master was take 10 (out of 11 takes). The 45 version's final drumbeat is not faded as it is on all other releases. In the UK and Europe The Ballad Of John And Yoko/Old Brown Shoe was the first single issued in stereo though in Australia and some other countries the stereo mix was reduced to mono for single release. |
