The W2B (side 1) and W2C (side 2) long matrix variants from 1987 are said to be sourced from the same half-speed master used for the red vinyl Warren Barnett / Festival release.

This is significant as the red vinyl Barnett edition used a unique Abbey Road 1:1 copy of the Sgt. Pepper master tape. That particular tape had been specially requested by EMI Australia executives a few years prior, for the creation of the rare Audio-5 Sgt. Pepper LP, which was mastered by Don Bartley.
