A blog by an individual called Helter Skelter has recently begun which is examing the Rock Band multitracks to see what is hidden away and posts the results as downloads. If you havent been there before its well worth checking out.

I ask this because I'm trying to make a list of all the multitracks of the Beatles' songs. Did they do the same with the B side Thank You Girl? And I totally agree that I wish there were more Beatles multitracks available and TB:RB 2.

As for the stereo mix of Money "take 7 is an overdub of the whole song; judging from the stereo mix, the original intrumental track was fed to one channel of the new tape, George Martin's piano overdub to the second, and the original vocals plus handclaps to both"  ('Way Beyond Compare' - John C Winn (page 61).

I know IWTHYH is supposed to be the first song to use 4 track, but Money (That's what I Want) and From Me to You have vocals in the center of the stereo mixes which require at least 3 tracks. And these are both from before IWTHYH. Any explanation?

Here's the 3 track master that I've envisioned:

Track 1: Lead Guitar, Drums, Bass (left)
