12-Bar Original (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)

RM1
Take 2
4 Nov 1965
SS.ETC.10.02.RM1
Take 2 was mixed into mono (RM1) on 30 Nov 1965.
This version is in much superior quality than Take 2 w/o mixing.
Three different versions appeared on bootlegs.

+ The first lasts more than six minutes.
+ The second fades out around the 3:50 mark.
+ The third one was found in John Barrett's private collection (not to be confused with the Barrett Mix !). It is not clear for now if this version is another mono mix or the same RM1 but it is presented by Vigotone as a 1965 mono mix and according to Lewisohn, 12-Bar Original was mixed into mono on 30 Nov 1965 between 4.45 PM and 5.00 PM ! This means it was mixed in 15 minutes ! Therefore, it's dubious they had the time to mix it twice, so, for now, this "Barrett" version is considered as RM1. The sound quality, however, is superior to the other versions of RM1.

Take 2
Anthology
4 Nov 1965
SS.ETC.10.02
The version found on Anthology 2 is based on Take 2 but it has been edited to shorten it to a 2:54 track.
The sound quality is much like the RM1 except it's in stereo.
