"I Am the Walrus" (U.S. Rarities, 1980 Capitol Edit)

Bear in mind that some of the information about U.S. and British releases is out of date, due to the consolidation of the Beatles' catalog into British releases around the world in present day.

Original Liner Notes From the Rarities Album, 1980:

Capitol has created a new version of this song by combining the two rarest versions. Previously there were at least three versions. The shortest one is the most common in the U.S. because it appears on the stereo album. The other two versions have something extra in them. The Capitol U.S. single has a few extra beats in the middle of the song right after the words "I'm Crying" but before the words "Yellow Matter Custard". The stereo version from England has the intro riff repeated six times instead of four. Now these two oddities have been edited together for the first time. It is interesting to note that on every stereo version of this song ever released the song becomes "fake stereo" almost exactly two minutes into the tune with the bass predominantly on one channel and the highs on the other.
