Apparently the US stereo 8-track of
Yesterday and Today has an exclusive mix of 'I'm Only Sleeping', so could anyone upload that?
It's not unique. From Brennan:

The backwards guitar effect is heard in different places in the four mixes, and a lead guitar track is mixed differently throughout the solo and at the end. An alleged fifth mix, the "French EP", is just [d].
* verse 1:
no backwards guitar (BG) on any mix
* verse 2:
[a] no BG
BG on "everywhere at such a speed" and "find there's no need"
[c] BG on "running everywhere at such a speed" and "till they find there's no need"
[d] BG on "where at such a speed" and "there's no need"
* verse 3:
[a] BG on "time" and "ceiling"
[c] no BG
[d] BG on "staring at the ceiling"
* solo:
[a] guitar continues into words "please don't" at end of solo
[d] guitar ends at end of solo
[c] guitar fades in 2 bars later, continues into "please"
* verse 4:
no BG on any mix
* end:
[a] guitar starts 4 beats after the last word "sleeping"
[c][d] guitar starts immediately after last word "sleeping"
The "some later issues" of Yesterday & Today that have the US stereo mix are (1) all tape format copies since 1966 [reel-to-reel YT-2553, eight-track 8X2T-2648 and later 8XT-2553, cassette 4XT-2553, and even the four-track 4CL-2553!], (2) Capitol record club LP copies beginning in 1968, (3) many general release LPs pressed at the Winchester plant [indicated by -<| the sideways wine glass] since 1973, the date I use for the LP reissue. The use of old LP stampers with fake stereo, however, continued as late as 1988, the end of LPs.
