The Beatles Rarity Of The Week (Spot the Oddity, Pt. 1)

Happy New Year! I decided to try something different this month for the BROW. Usually for the rarity I will feature something that has never been officially released. However for the next 4 weeks I am only going to post songs that were officially released. Now they won't be the versions that you typically hear on the radio now or pick up at your favorite CD shop but they will be close. Yet something is going to be at least slightly different about them. Here is your chance to test your familiarity with some of these Beatles songs that most of you have heard hundreds of times or so. So it's a game of "spot the oddity".
For example I have posted I Am The Walrus this week but there is something that is odd about it that differs from the one you normally hear on the radio (yet it has been officially released this way before). See if you can spot what's different and if you feel like venturing a guess you can post it in comments below. Of course, if you want to give this a try and there are already comments below, make sure you listen to the track and figure it out before reading them. For a bonus, if you know anything about the source of this alternate version, tell us about that in your comments too. I will post the answer in the BROW next week or just acknowledge the correct comments if they are there. We'll just see how this goes....Good luck!

Yeah...the 45 was the giveaway. I wasn't sure if it was the Rarities version as I haven't played that album in ages. I was wondering why it sounded a bit distorted until I realised that it was indeed vinyl.
Keep 'em coming. Love your posts!
