    There's a second entry for this release which is supposedly from a different master. It has the note: "Uses a different master...Edits the four-count off of the start of 'Answering Machine.'" Based on the matrix numbers, I have a copy of each in-hand, and Paul's verbal count-off is clipped from both. Does anyone know anything more? Is there a version of this reissue with the count-in retained? Any info on the reasons for a second mastering?
