C.D. One - New Stereo Mix .... (39:49)

Track	Composer	What IS Different	Time
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band	Lennon-McCartney	Originally Paul's vocal to the right, John's left, panning to centre as the song progresses. This mix the vocals are central and loud, as is the bass.	2:01
With A Little Help From My Friends	Lennon-McCartney	Ringo's vocal is louder, but still mixed centrally. The backing vocals are split left and right, whereas originally they were central. Paul's bass remains right as 1967, whereas it was centred for Yellow Sub Songtrack.	2:44
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds	Lennon-McCartney	Slower than the original stereo version, but matches the original mono release Unlike the original, the initial Lowrey organ is panned around the stereo image. Plus phasing has been added to John's vocal and setero reverb at certain points to sound more like the mono mix.	3:27
Getting Better	Lennon-McCartney	The backing vocals are split left and right, whereas originally they were central.	2:47
Fixing A Hole	Lennon-McCartney	The original stereo mix had most of the instrumentation, including the drums, islated on the left channel. This new mix moves most of this towards the centre.	2:36
She's Leaving Home	Lennon-McCartney	The original stereo mix was done at a much slower pace to the mono. Here, the speed has been bumped up to match the old mono mix.	3:25
Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite	Lennon-McCartney	Vocal moved to a central position and everything louder.	2:35
Within You, Without You	Harrison	Speed changed to match the original mono, this is slower than the 1967 stereo mix. George's whispered scatting before the final verse has been mixed out.	5:06
When I'm Sixty-Four	Lennon-McCartney	Slower than the original stereo mix. Nearly everything mixed to centre, which causes some sort of doubling effect on the backing vocals.	2:39
Lovely Rita	Lennon-McCartney	The original mix had Ringo's drums to the left channel, This has a narrower stereo image, backing vocals spread and a speed variation.	2:44
Good Morning, Good Morning	Lennon-McCartney	Drums are again centred and pumped up. Animal effects are moved to where they came in on the original mono mix.	2:34
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)	Lennon-McCartney	Mixed loud and as the opening track	1:20
A Day In The Life	Lennon-McCartney	Mixed louder again.	5:05
The Run Out Groove		Four seconds of "silence" before an effect of the run-out groove repeating	0:22
