    2:19 • Studio versionE • Stereo • 2015 mix - The placement of the vocals in the new mix confuses me. The backing vocals are spread around the stereo image, but they are centered the second time they appear. Likewise, the false horns are spread L & R the first time they come in and are centered the second time. Apart from that, the handclaps are at left (2015) instead of centered (1968), and the handclaps are at left (2015) instead of centered (1968). The song’s final note now comes to a complete fade, instead of trailing off to low volume and ending abruptly (as the original mix does).
