Notes:

That Means A Lot, unreleased by The Beatles, was recorded by PJ Proby (1965).

This time, the speeches before live songs and takes are included on the same CD track of the song (unlike A1). Also, the stereo/mono indications are correct.

The mono outtakes are most of the times. processed to a kind of "mock stereo", by adding a bit of stereo reverb, that gives some "ambience". (The only outtakes it wasn't done are Strawberry Fields Forever (take 7) and The Fool On The Hill (demo).

This album began to put the songs out of cronological order: I'm Down, recorded the same day as Yesterday, was moved to an earlier position (this was done right before the album's release and caused its delay).
Anthology 3 scrambled the order completely.
