This is a new vocal dubbed onto a copy of the instrumental tracks of I want to hold your hand from October 17. The edit on all mixes is unspecified but it joins two takes of the German vocal and handclap track. Talk ("coming"?) and at the start of the stereo mix [c] is partly cut off on Parlophone's Rarities but it's still there. Mix [a], not in Lewisohn, is required by German single 22 671 being released on 4 Feb 1964, according to Moers as supported by the catalog number. By about March 10 Odeon was two singles along, Can't buy me love 22 697. If a mix was made in Paris on 29 Jan and shipped directly to Odeon, it might have escaped EMI's bookkeeping and thus also Lewisohn's research. This single was not available for review, so I cannot confirm whether it differs in some way from the mono mixes made later. The mixes of March seem to be for the album "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" on Electrola, and were then used for any other releases. That album was a collection of songs by various artists, issued probably March 1963. It contained two Beatles songs, the title and She loves you (not Sie liebt dich!). ----- SIE LIEBT DICH basic recording- 29 Jan 1964 at EMI Pathe Marconi, Paris additional recording- 29 Jan 1964 at EMI Pathe Marconi, Paris master tape- twintrack 2d generation (?)

UK: Parlophone PSLP 261 and PCM 1001 Rarities 1978-79. US: Capitol SHAL-12060 Rarities 1980. The master tapes of She Loves You being missing already, this is an all new recording (unlike Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand), but they may have been listening to playback of the record She Loves You as it is exactly in time with it. The mono mix [a] of January 29, not in Lewisohn, is required by the song being on the single O 22 671 of 4 February 1964 (see Komm, gib mir deine Hand, above). ----- CAN'T BUY ME LOVE basic recording- 29 Jan 1964 at EMI Pathe Marconi, Paris additional recording- 29 Jan at EMI Pathe Marconi, Paris; 25 Feb, 10 Mar 1964 master tape- 4 track 2d generation [a] mono 26 Feb, 10 Mar 1964.

[a] has a drum overdub (by someone unknown) done March 10, probably right onto the mono mix made 26 Feb rather than onto the 4-track master, since it was not used on any stereo version; the new drumming cuts out for the instrumental break and comes back abruptly after it. In both stereo mixes [b] [c], some of the drum sound appears in the center, fading up in between vocal lines and then back down, as if it had been captured this way on the vocal track during recording. The processing by United Artists for [a1] "stereo" is curious: the song is entirely mono, except that it bounces toward right and then left channels at the vocal lines "[bounce] much for money [bounce] cause money can't buy me love"; it does this 3 times so it's not a glitch in the tape. ----- YOU CAN'T DO THAT basic recording- 25 Feb 1964 additional recording- 25 Feb 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 26 Feb 1964.

The mono [a] fades out a little faster than the stereo [b]. The harmonica during the intro cuts out suddenly at one point (the fourth phrase) in [b], but is fixed in the other two by edit: [a] repeats the third harmonica phrase, and [c] repeats the second phrase. In the home video A Hard Day's Night, [c] is used in the train scene but [b] with the harmonica mistake is used in the television show scene later. Note, UK: Parlophone PCS 7218 Reel Music 1982 uses [b], not [c]. ----- AND I LOVE HER basic recording- 27 Feb 1964 additional recording- 27 feb 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 3 Mar 1964.

US: Capitol SHAL-12060 Rarities 1980. [d] stereo 1993. CD: The Beatles 1962-1966 1993. The "United Artists mix" [a] has a single track vocal (with harmonies), while the others have double track most of the way. Lewisohn does not report any recording after Feb 27, and if so it is a mix difference. "Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky" is always single tracked. Interestingly, the start of Paul's humming after the last lyrics, as heard in other versions, is just barely audible in [a], as if on a track being mixed out. The "German version" [c1] has six guitar riffs at the end instead of only four. It seems to have been made by editing in repeats, rather than being an untrimmed version, although for what purpose is unknown. It also has the guitar softer on left, but this seems to be a balancing error, not a different mix, since the centered vocal is also pulled a little to right, as it would be if the balance were off. Another stereo mix with only two riffs at the end is documented on a tape copy but the original source is not known. ----- TELL ME WHY basic recording- 27 Feb 1964 additional recording- 27 Feb 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 3 Mar 1964.

US: Capitol ST 2018 Something New 1964. Stereo [b] has a noise at the very end edited off the others. [a1] on UAS 6366 is mono except that in the verses it shifts toward the left for the solo call (John solo) and toward the right for the response (group). Reportedly the original filmprint of A Hard Day's Night has a different mono mix undocumented by Lewisohn, probably March 3, with the doubletrack vocal mixed differently, noticeably on "well I'm beggin' on my bended knees, if you'll only listen to my pleas". ----- IF I FELL basic recording- 27 Feb 1964 additional recording- 27 Feb 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 3 mar 1964. edited.

US: Capitol ST 2018 Something New 1964. Stereo [b] has a double track John on the intro, unlike mono [a], with a slight lag in one track at the first word "if" and at "and" in "and I've found". Paul misses the high note the second time on the word "vain" ("our new love was in vain"), as heard in stereo [b], but corrected in mono [a] by editing in the same word from the first time round (based on listening). [a1] has the intro toward the left but all the rest centered. ----- I'M HAPPY JUST TO DANCE WITH YOU basic recording- 1 Mar 1964 additional recording- none master tape- 4 track [a] mono 3 Mar 1964.

US: Capitol SKBO-11537 Rock and Roll Music 1976. CD: Past Masters 1 1988. Of the mono mixes, [c] has echo added, while [b] does not. In stereo, [a] has the vocal over to the right side while in [d] it is centered. ----- I CALL YOUR NAME basic recording- 2 Mar 1964 additional recording- 2 Mar 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 4 Mar 1964. edited.

UK: Parlophone PCSP 719 Rock and Roll Music 1976. US: Capitol SKBO-11537 Rock and Roll Music 1976. CD: Past Masters 1 1988. All versions have edits, but different edits. The take (7) used for the main part of the song has a cowbell track that distinguishes it from other takes. The cowbell track is itself mixed more or less loudly. Take 7 also has a double track vocal. Both stereo mixes [b] [d] have a different, better guitar intro edited in, but done differently, so there are three versions of the intro. In the original intro as heard in [a] [c], the cowbell starts right away. [b] with the better guitar intro has no cowbell until the edit, which comes just before the vocal starts. In [d], the edit comes after the first line ("I call your name, but you're not there"), so it has neither cowbell nor the second vocal track until that point. A second, obvious stereo difference is that [b] has the vocal over on the right while [d] has the vocal and cowbell centered. All mixes have an edit for the guitar solo, but the edit into the solo comes at two different places. In [a] [d] it comes after the vocal, evidenced by the cowbell through the words "I call your name", but in [b] [c] it comes just before that last line of vocal. The edit at the end is at the same place but there are slight variations in how well it was done. There was a March 3 mono mix for the film, but the song was not used in the film and United Artists did not use it on their LP either. ----- A HARD DAY'S NIGHT basic recording- 16 Apr 1964 additional recording- 16 Apr 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 23 Apr 1964.

Mono [b], also used in the original film print of A Hard Day's Night, has an extended ending, made by editing, in which "you know I feel all right" is heard 5 times instead of 3. The home video release, using the common stereo mix [b], therefore finds the song ending slightly before the credits do. [a1] is mono, but shifts toward the left for Paul's solo vocal bridge ("when I'm home. . .") and toward the right for the instrumental break. The centering of the vocal is better in [c] than [b], where it is pulled a bit to the right. ----- MATCHBOX basic recording- 1 Jun 1964 additional recording- 1 Jun 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 4 Jun 1964. edited. UK: Parlophone GEP 8920 Long Tall Sally (EP) 1964, Parlophone PSLP 261 and PCM 1001 Rarities 1978-79. US: Capitol 5255 1964, Capitol T 2018 Something New 1964. [b] stereo 22 Jun 1964. edited.

This has generous reverb on the vocal, and stereo [b] has more than [a]. Ringo sings the last word of "your puppy dog runs" indistinctly in mono [a], but that is corrected by an edit or overdub in [b]. The guitar solo ends differently so at least one of the two has an edit there. ----- I'LL CRY INSTEAD basic recording- 1 Jun 1964 additional recording- 1 Jun 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 4 Jun 1964. edited. US: United Artists UAL 6366 and UAS 6366 Hard Day's Night 1964, Capitol 5234 1964, Capitol T 2018 Something New 1964. [b] mono 4 Jun 1964. edited. UK: Parlophone PMC 1230 Hard Day's Night 1964.

Lewisohn reports the song was recorded in two "sections" that were edited together, but not what the sections are. Additionally, only one mono mix is documented, but we have two, which I tentatively date the same day. Mono [a] is the "long version" that has an additional verse, verse 4, obviously edited in, which repeats the lyrics but not the same recording of verse 1. A stereo mix made by editing [c] was used in a montage of still photos that opened the 1982 theatrical reissue of the film A Hard Day's Night, as well as the subsequent home video release. It is a forgery of a nonexistent "complete" version, as if [a] were not extended by an edit, and is not like [a] because it edits in the same recording of verse 1. (It is also on the bootleg LP "Casualties", 1982.) ----- SLOW DOWN basic recording- 1 Jun 1964 additional recording- 1,4 Jun 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 4 Jun 1964. UK: Parlophone GEP 8920 Long Tall Sally (EP) 1964, Parlophone PSLP 261 and PCM 1001 Rarities 1978-79. US: Capitol 5255 1964, Capitol T 2018 Something New 1964. [b] stereo 22 Jun 1964.

Stereo [b] has the vocal and piano much louder (or one might say the rest is softer), and a cry "ow" is heard only in [b] just before the guitar at the end. The vocal has a doubletrack error at "now you got a boy/girl friend down the street" that seems less prominent, but is still there, in [a], marking it as the same vocal and not different as reported elsewhere. ----- I'LL BE BACK basic recording- 1 Jun 1964 additional recording- 1 Jun 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 22 Jun 1964.

UK: Parlophone PCS 3058 Hard Day's Night 1964. US: Capitol ST 2228 Beatles '65 1964. "US mono" [b] runs slower than [a] and has a little echo; [a] has none. ----- THINGS WE SAID TODAY basic recording- 2 Jun 1964 additional recording- 2,3 Jun 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 4 Jun 1964.

UK: Parlophone PCS 3058 Hard Day's Night 1964. US: Capitol ST 2108 Something New 1964. "US mono" [a] has the piano mixed louder than "UK mono" [b], but the latter has a louder percussion crash at "whoa-ah". And they were mixed one right after the other. The line "till I walk out that door" is doubletracked in US mono [a] while only "out that door" is in [b] and [c]. This has been reported elsewhere as an edit, because the second vocal track "till I" comes in sooner (i.e. the singletracked versions are reported as having a delay on "till I", as if a different vocal has been edited in on one of the versions). ----- ANY TIME AT ALL basic recording- 2 Jun 1964 additional recording- 2,3 Jun 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 22 Jun 1964.

The stereo separation in [c] shows the rhythm track fading up louder between vocal lines-- was this really done druring mixing? ----- BABY'S IN BLACK basic recording- 11 Aug 1964 additional recording- none master tape- 4 track [a] mono 26 Oct 1964.

A minor double track difference shows that decisions were made at mix stage: in "in my place" the first time, [a] has doubletrack on "place" while [b] has it on "my place". [b] also reveals a cough after "your window" near the beginning. ----- EIGHT DAYS A WEEK basic recording- 6 Oct 1964 additional recording- 6,18 Oct 1964 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 27 Oct 1964. edited.

US: Capitol ST 2228 Beatles '65 1964. UK mono [a] and stereo [b] have a slightly longer fade , "she's a woman" 5 times, against 3 on US mono [c]. UK mono [a] has no echo on the vocal, while US mono [c] has echo that may have been added by Capitol. US mono [c] also seems to have less piano than [a] but the echo may just be drowning it. The mock stereo conversion from it [c1] is muddy. Stereo [b], also without the echo, seems to have gone missing in Australia as it was not used for the Parlophone Rarities LP, but it was found for the CD release. [b1] is the same with a countdown at the start. ----- KANSAS CITY/HEY HEY HEY HEY basic recording- 18 Oct 1964 additional recording- none master tape- 4 track [a] mono 26 Oct 1964.

The mock stereo made from it [b1] really stands out as the most distorted Beatles cut Capitol ever created. Stereo [c] starts with a second or so of whispering and tapping before the usual opening. [c1] is a "trimmed" version without the whispering; the trimming may be local to each release. The open-microphone sounds at the opening (whispers, snaredrum resonating (?)) are clearer on CD. ----- I'LL FOLLOW THE SUN basic recording- 18 Oct 1964 additional recording- none master tape- 4 track [a] mono 21 Oct 1964 UK: Parlophone PMC 1240 For Sale 1964.

The stereo versions fade a little longer than [a]. In [b] the whole track has been given a bass boost to make up for poor bass guitar sound, improved in [c] where the bass guitar has presence and the rest including the vocal sounds sharper. ----- ANOTHER GIRL basic recording- 15 Feb 1965 additional recording- 15,16 Feb 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 18 Feb 1965.

The stereo mix [b] must have been well hidden away, not used in 1977 or 1979 for collections. It first appeared on a promotional offer tape from Heineken Beer in 1986, available by mail order for a few weeks. It has a dropout (a tape defect) in verse 1 on the word "I" in "remember what I said tonight", and an extra tone-pedal note under the first word "if". ----- THE NIGHT BEFORE basic recording- 17 Feb 1965 additional recording- 17 Feb 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 18 Feb 1965.

CD: Help! 1987, The Beatles 1962-1966 1993. This recording has two vocal tracks, one of which evidently has a tambourine on it. The tambourine vocal is on the stereo versions [b] [c], while the alternate vocal is on [a] the hit single. Some examples of vocal differences in verse 1: [b] [c] has "but now these days", [a] has "and now these days", and on "I've changed my mind" [b] [c] has the words evenly while [a] has them run together. John's voice is rougher in [a] throughout. Lewisohn does not explain the two vocals and in fact maintains they are different mixes, so I'm supposing the two vocals are on the same tape. [c] has slightly better presence on the bass guitar and the rest is less bassy (similar to Ticket to Ride's new mix but less different). The pop on "p" sounds, as in "appreciate" in chorus 1, is less noticeable in [c]. The original film print of Help! has a mono mix made April 18 using the tambourine vocal. Some say this is on Capitol MAS 2386 but since the rest of the album is combined from stereo this probably is too, as listed above. On the Capitol albums MAS2386 and SMAS 2386, and on (US) Apple SKBO-3403, the song is preceded by a non-Beatles instrumental of the James Bond Theme, banded as if part of the song, but separated by a pause. ----- DIZZY MISS LIZZIE basic recording- 10 May 1965 additional recording- none master tape- 4 track [a] mono 10 May 1965.

A voice can just be heard in the decay at the end of the song in mono [a] but not in [b] or [c]. ----- I'M DOWN basic recording- 14 Jun 1965 additional recording- 14 Jun 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 18 Jun 1965.

US: Capitol SKBO-11537 Rock and Roll Music 1976. CD: Past Masters 1 1988. During the guitar break in stereo [b], a second, different lead guitar can just be heard as a leak or echo on the mostly silent right channel. Some accounts refer to an "alternate" stereo mix from Japan with two lead guitars, but a tape (allegedly) of that shows it to be the usual version. ----- YESTERDAY basic recording- 14 Jun 1965 additional recording- 14 Jun 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 17 Jun 1965.

The mono [a] shows an echo effect in the first bridge on "thing wrong, now I long for yesterday", nowhere else, which also sounds somewhat different from the rest of the vocal in [b] and [c], not echoed but as if doubletracked. George Martin has said this song has no doubletracking but does have leakage from studio speakers (at an unspecified point). A squeak--a bow accidentally touching a violin?-- is heard in verse 1 before the quartet start to play, at left between "I believe" and "in yesterday", in both [b] and [c], but is not audible in mono [a]. A second accident, a plink during the decay at the very end, is heard in [a] and [b] but not [c]. ----- IT'S ONLY LOVE basic recording- 15 Jun 1965 additional recording- none master tape- 4 track [a] mono 18 Jun 1965.

Double track on the first "It's only love" line sounds different in [c]; it appears to be "fixed" by splicing from the second chorus. ----- ACT NATURALLY basic recording- 17 Jun 1965 additional recording- none master tape- 4 track [a] mono 18 Jun 1965.

CD: Rubber Soul 1987, The Beatles 1962-1966 1993. The lead vocal is far right in stereo [b], slightly right center on [c]. The cowbell track in stereo [b] is heard during each verse except in the last line, between lines of the refrain, in the instrumental break, and in the fadeout. In mono [a] it is much softer and seems to be missing completely during the fadeout. Capitol mono T 2553 is not [a] and must be combined from stereo [b]. In the CD mix [c] the vocal is moved to right center, leaving the cowbell and guitar track far right, and the cowbell is heard continuously through the refrain, evidence that the track is being faded during vocal lines in [b]. Reports of a different mono mix with the piano much softer, on UK Parlophone GEP 8952 Nowhere Man (EP) 1965, (see "Every Little Thing" for example), are mistaken, but perhaps "piano" is a transcription error for "cowbell" since the EP with [a] does differ from Capitol mono with [b1]. ----- DAY TRIPPER basic recording- 16 Oct 1965 additional recording- 16 Oct 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] stereo 26 Oct 1965.

UK: Parlophone PCS 7016 Collection of Oldies 1966, Apple PCSP 717 The Beatles 1962-1966 1973. CD: Past Masters 2 1988, The Beatles 1962-1966 1993. The two stereo mixes differ noticeably. The lead guitar intro in [a] starts left and jumps to the right when the other instruments come in; in [c] it starts in both channels instead, apparently by ADT (artificial double tracking). As the ending begins, after the first "day tripper!", [a] reveals an off-mike "yeah" by John, while [c] has a partially successful attempt to fade out the word. On both the stereo mixes, the lead guitar track suddenly goes silent twice around 1:50-1:55, to cover a tape or recording problem. The first spot is after the first "tried to please her" line, where, with no vocal, one side of the mix just goes dead silent, and the second spot is under the second "tried to please her". A bootleg of the whole take reveals a squeaky tape noise at the first spot and some problem with the guitar sound for more than 10 seconds thereafter (possibly this section is a drop-in, recorded over the original sound on the track). The mono mix [b] has this all fixed somehow; there the guitar may have been dubbed in from another verse or take. ----- IF I NEEDED SOMEONE basic recording- 16 Oct 1965 additional recording- 18 Oct 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 25 Oct 1965.

US: Capitol ST 2442 Rubber Soul 1965, Apple SKBO-3403 The Beatles 1962-1966 1973. [c] stereo 1987. CD: Rubber Soul 1987, The Beatles 1962-1966 1993. [c] differs from [b] several ways. Both have the lead vocal mixed far right, but a heavy reverb added to [c] is mixed center, sounding almost like a double track vocal. A breath is heard before the vocal starts in [b], the drum is louder in the verses in [b], and a plink in the decay of the guitar, left, at the end of the song is not heard in [c]. The end of the piano solo is faded away slightly better in [c]. ----- WE CAN WORK IT OUT basic recording- 20 Oct 1965 additional recording- 20,29 Oct 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 29 Oct 1965.

[b] has the organ mixed into the center; [c] has the organ to the right and nothing in the center. ----- NORWEGIAN WOOD basic recording- 21 Oct 1965 additional recording- 21 Oct 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 25 Oct 1965.

US: Capitol ST 2553 Yesterday & Today 1966. [c] stereo 1987. CD: Rubber Soul 1987. [b] has all sound either far left or far right. [c] has rhythm (drums, bass, rhythm guitar) at left center and only lead guitar at far left; the lead guitar moves to far right for solo as in [b]. [c] has John's lead vocal at right center and his second vocal with the others at far right. Paul refers to the guitars as extremely trebly in the interview in Lewisohn's "Recording Sessions". The only release that seems to show this is the MFSL half-speed master cassette tape. ----- MICHELLE basic recording- 3 Nov 1965 additional recording- 3 Nov 1965 master tape- 4 track 2d generation [a] mono 9 Nov 1965.

[c] stereo 1987 CD: Rubber Soul 1987. In the closing guitar work, [b] [c] have a short probable overdub that improves the ending as heard in [a]. Ringo's off-mike singing during the break and at the ending is easier to hear in the stereo mixes. ----- THINK FOR YOURSELF basic recording- 8 Nov 1965 additional recording- 8 Nov 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 9 Nov 1965 UK: Parlophone PMC 1267 Rubber Soul 1965.

UK: Parlophone PCS 3075 Rubber Soul 1965. [d] stereo 1987. CD: Rubber Soul 1987. [b] is apparently the rejected Nov 11 mix: it's not as good, and [d] copies [c]. The track with bass, maracas and falsetto harmony (last 2 refrains) is mixed left in [b] with the other instruments, but right in [c], while the track with the second vocal track is right on [b] with main vocals, left in [c]. The main vocal track with the solo vocals on the verses is right in all cases. [c] and [d] have extreme separation between the stereo channels. ----- I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU basic recording- 10 Nov 1965 additional recording- 10,11 Nov 1965 master tape- 4 track [a] mono 15 Nov 1965.
