The following Information is from the books "The Beatles Recording Sessions" by Mark Lewisohn; and "Recording the Beatles" by Brian Kehew and Kevin Ryan.
This song was recorded in February 1967 using two 4-track machines. After recording tracks onto the first tape machine, the recording was then "bounced".
Bouncing refers to when a second tape machine was used to combine tracks from the first machine; which freed up one or more tracks to add additional instruments. In those days, this technique was used to overcome a limitation of 4-track recording equipment. Nowadays, modern multi-track and digital recording studios make such efforts unnecessary.
"Recorder (B)" -- the bounce tape -- is what we hear here.
