  One very slight difference I noticed on one listening (don't have the CD yet):
They did a better job of cutting out the final "All I want is you" this time
around. John or Paul ended it  with a falsetto note that Phil Spector failed to
cut out on the 1970 album _ sort of like John's last little breath singing
"going dow-ow-own" that survived just before the solo on Happiness Is a Warm
Gun.

  Ah, that would explain it. I thought it was the same version, but there are a
few vocal interjections, mainly by Paul, that I hadn't heard before. Probably
from the other take, I guess.

  I like this one _ maybe not better than the single, but I'm glad to have it.

  Based on one hearing, I'm pretty sure this isn't the version from the movie.
That one had an extra chorus before the solo, if I recall correctly, and also
the last line ended with "There will be no sorrow," to rhyme with "Shine until
tomorrow." This one doesn't, unless I missed it.
