It's time to crank up the old hand-wound gramophone and revisit the beloved Extended Play format!
On this occasion we have a fresh packet of Birdy Num-Nums to tempt even the fussiest eater. Please find in your feeding tray:
* Hey Jude - take 9 (the one in the film Music!) with the plumage unfolded to reveal its full stereo potential.
* Step Inside Love - when I included this Cilla/Paul/George Martin demo on a recent EP, someone commented that we needed to get Paul's vocal into it somehow. Well, I asked Paul but he was busy, however Ringo was more than happy to pop over with his coconuts and give them a good rapping. In fact, he did an amazing reproduction of the White Album outtake.
* Revolution 1 - this new mix has everything but the kitchen sink thrown in. All the original tracks, plus the overdubs from the mono mix, plus the electric guitar and horns from the album. It's long, it's turgid, it's more garish than a flamingo and it's packed with enough little bitties to keep you guessing for a week.
* You Know My Name - the song that George wrecked specially for Anthology. But have no fear, the missing Cuckoo/ocarina section has been restored in stereo as well as the pointlessly curtailed ending. And the rest of the band put into stereo instead of mono too. Cuckoo!
Enjoy with a feathered friend, and please remember to wipe off any movements on your shoulder afterwards.

That version of Revolution is great! It gave me an idea, why not throw Revolution 9 into the mix as well?
I used your version as the basis (hope you don't mind) and layered Rev 9 on top. I know the official Rev 9 was edited down by nearly a minute, but oddly that seems to help it fit over the long Rev 1 better than it would otherwise do. The couple of points where you hear 'Right!' or 'Alright!' are roughly in the same areas, though I stopped short of trying to get those perfectly in sync, Instead, I matched up the 'You become naked' sections at the end and just let it run before that.
It took a couple of passes using different methods to try and get some of the quieter bits of Rev 9 heard without letting the louder sections overwhelm everything else, I then combined both attempts into a final mix.
It's chaotic (maybe too chaotic at times), but some of the transitions in Rev 9 almost seem designed to fit.
