The original single mix vs. German mix

When the song was first released in 1967, stereo was not commonplace on singles so for many years the song was only available in either mono or simulated stereo. Producer George Martin and recording engineer Geoff Emerick created a true stereo mix of the song in 1971 for the release of the Magical Mystery Tour album in Germany. However when the song was remixed, an effect that had been created in the mixing stage in 1967 was left out. On the 1967 mono mix, a delay effect, which was made to feedback, after the lines "far as the eye can see" and "Often enough to know" was included. This acted as a fill from the end of one line of the verse to the start of the next. Its omission from the stereo mix explains why there is an instrumental break after these lines. Subsequently when the song was remixed again in 1999 for the Yellow Submarine Songtrack the effect was again left off the song.
