Track CD3-6 "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Take 1)" is incorrectly listed as "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Take 1 And Speech At The End)", but it has no speech ending on this boxset.
Track CD4-19 "Penny Lane (Capitol Records Mono US Promo Mix)" was mastered from a very low quality source.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The replica of the gatefold from 1967 still shows the back cover misprint given on side 1, track 2, as "A Little Help From My Friends" instead of "With A Little Help From My Friends" .
