Decades ago, I recorded my 1980's Capitol purple label Rubber Soul (among others) to digital disc and sometime later got copies of The Capitol Albums on disc. Both versions of this Capitol mix are in a variety of digital music libraries I have and it not easy to tell which is which. But today I just noticed an unknown sound in the early dozen or so seconds of "I'm Looking Through You" that is not easily heard in both versions.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Capitol version, "I'm Looking Through You" has a sort of false start included on these U.S. albums. But also in this Capitol mix, in the first few seconds of the song, you can also faintly hear a sound; a sound of perhaps fingers gliding down guitar strings. Or someone sniffing, maybe even a zipper. Obviously this is not heard on the Parlophone, Apple, U.K. disc version that is practically the standard now.
I'm not sure if I have noticed this before and I am not sure if I hear it on the actual Capitol vinyl pressings or the Capitol disc version.
I smell a mystery to uncover.
