Yes, there are two mixes of IYCRMM.

The mix on the album has no background vocals. The 45 mix does have the background vocals added. Record companies often sweetened single mixes to assure a spin on radio stations. The mix with the background vocals (single mix) is included on Gord's Gold and Complete Greatest Hits.

Lightfoot later changed the arrangement slightly in concert where Rick and Terry did not sing the entire chorus, but only "I just don't get it" and "I just can't get it back".

A great tune and one of my all-time favorite songs by any artist, anytime.
