I Call Your Name (original stereo studio mix)

There are some noteworthy differences in this first stereo mix. First of all, a decision was made to use a different introduction to the song from an earlier take, however this take did not have either the cowbell or double-tracked vocal overdubs applied to it since it was not deemed good enough at the time of recording. As it is, the beginning guitar intro by George Harrison is noticeably different from what is heard in the earlier mono mix taken directly from take seven. Just as John starts singing “I call your name,” the cowbell appears for the first time. The solo section is also edited in to the mix like it was for the previous mono mix, but the edit comes just before John sings “I call your name” at the end of the third verse, leaving it without the cowbell during those words. It’s also noteworthy to mention that the vocals and the cowbell appear in the right channel of this first stereo mix. Capitol proceeded to add some reverb to this stereo mix to add a bit of depth to the sound.
