Original Vs. Later Mix
In 1978 the album was remixed because of deterioration of the master tapes. The original 1967 stereo mix has never seen an official CD release.
The ways in which the later mix departs most noticeably from the original are:
- After the orchestral intro, "Dawn is a Feeling" begins more abruptly, and there is less echo on Mike Pinder's vocal on the bridge, making it more prominent.
- The orchestral intro "Lunch Break" goes on about 20 seconds longer before fading out.
- The bridges to "(Evening) Time to Get Away" have John Lodge singing alone; all the backing vocals on that part have been lost.
- The backing vocals on "Twilight Time" are heard through the entire song instead of only coming in at strategic points.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or mix:
“To my fancy, one looks back on life, it has only two responsibilities, which include all the others: one is the bringing of new life into existence; the other, educating it after it is brought in. All betrayals of trust result from these original sins.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Much of our reading, much of our labor, seems mere waiting: it was not that we were born for. Any other could do it as well or better. So little skill enters into these works, so little do they mix with the divine life, that it really signifies little what we do, whether we turn a grindstone, or ride, or run, or make fortune, or govern the state.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
