Vinyl rip: hxxps://we.tl/t-eykxUNX9lu

I guess we need to add that to MMT volume? Since it's not common and cannot be found digitally via official route.

Aside from the handclaps being the same as the Pepperland version as mentioned on the SH board, the phasing on the vocals is identical, whereas the phasing on the Mono Masters CD is very different, indicating it was applied during mixing, and impossible to get the same twice. The vinyl is just an edited down long version which we already have.

The group then released two albums in quick succession. The double-LP The Beatles yielded no singles. Released two months later in January, 1969, the soundtrack album Yellow Submarine included just four previously unreleased Beatles songs. One of them - 'Only a Northern Song' [Side 5 Track 1] - undergone such a complex recording process that only a mono mix had been completed in April, 1967. An artificially enhanced - or fake - stereo version had been created for this for the stereo album. The mono LP was produced during the cutting process the stereo album. The mono LP was produced during the cutting process by a 'fold down' mix - simply combining the left and right channels from the stereo master tape. The previously unreleased mono mix of 'Only A Northern Song' was made available for the first time on the 2009 remastered (stereo) Yellow Submarine and on the CD version of Mono Masters.

Although released in 'fold down' mono, each of the other previously unreleased songs on the soundtrack album had actually been given a unique mono mix. When there was a plan to make the four songs available on a seven-inch EP running at LP speed, a mono master tape for the proposed record was compiled in March, 1969. Interestingly, this tape did not feature the 'fold down' versions on the mono LP but the proper mono mixes. Here they are: 'All Together Now' [S5 Track 2] mixed in May, 1967, 'Hey Bulldog' [S5 Track 3] mixed in February, 1968 and 'It's All Too Much' [S5 Track 4] mixed in October, 1968 - seventeen months after it was first recorded.

Everything from nagras and multis (which will make it monstrosity and months to make) or just multis and vintage mixes (preferably) ? I'm actually more eager to hear Abbey Road as it's been years since someone made best sources for that.
