Its the same recording, except that it continues past the fade, runs a couple more verses, and ends cold. At night, a longer version of the same cut is played; the difference is a long musical jam intro, before the normal cold opening vocals. For the first (and only) time, there were two songs listed as the Pick Hit; on the air, WABC referred to a split pick hit this week, alternating the two songs every hour. The album cut is from Rubber Soul.
