Dr. Robert "O.K. Herb" ?

Post by Carose »

Does anyone know if this mix is still around anymore , I've been listening to a number of different Yesterday and Today transfers and I haven't been able to find one where you can hear John say O.K. Herb at the fade out of Dr. Robert . I know it's trivial but it's cool 8-) . Thanks

the US mono mix of the song, as released on Yesterday and Today, Lennon appears to say "OK, Herb" at the very end of the track

Hi, sorry I may not have been clearer as to what I had meant, I realize that it is on the U.S. Capitol album Yesterday and...Today original mono mix , what I was referring to is that in all the different transferable incarnations that I have heard on various CD's or digital files , I haven't yet found any where you can still hear John's O.K. Herb at the end of the track, I was wondering if someone may still know of any files out there where it can still be heard. Thanks :)

In a sound editor you can select and normalize any piece of audio. Better than cranking the volume ;-)
