This recording began on May 26, 1966 with 5 takes and was completed with sound effects on June 1, 1966. The guitar comes in right away in the mono mix but after "in the town" in the stereo mix. At the start of verse 3, a splash sound effect is faded away quickly in the mono mix as the vocal starts, but continues over "and we live a life" in the stereo mix. John is heard repeating the vocal after the first line of verse 3 ("life of ease") in the mono mix but not until the next line ("all we need") in the stereo mix. The last line of verse 3 sounds like "in our yellow clubmarine" in the mono mix but "slubmarine" in the stereo mix. The official lyric is just "submarine".Some backing vocals are also louder on the mono version. |
