Notes
Takes 2 and 3 may be of the same performance, recorded with microphones in different places. The second release associated with take 2 derives from dubbing of two takes recorded simultaneously to create the stereo effect release. In some print sources take 3 of this master is cited as the source of the left channel of the stereo effect release. The notes to the issued compact disc cite take 1 of LBRC-71812 as the source of the left channel and take 2 of LBSHQ-71812 as the right channel source. Some scholars doubt that there actually were two microphones providing two separate feeds in the recording studio.
