The Beatles 1970-??-??
Back Track Part Two, various, various
Set 1
01 There's a Place
The last of 10 takes recorded the morning of Feb. 11, 1963 at the start of the now famous
10-hour marathon "Please Please Me" session. A true stereo mix.
02 - 06 Misery takes 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
Recorded the afternoon of the "Please Please Me" session at EMI. After several false starts,
the song is performed in its entirety on take 6. Ringo's drum triplets on the breaks are an idea
omitted on subsequent takes.
07 - 08 She's a Woman
Recorded Oct. 3, 1964 the day before the start of their Fall U.K. Concert tour. After a false
start (take 7), Paul launces into a wild, energetic, 6 minute version in the blues-vocal style of
Ray Charles' "What'd I Say" the track ends with Ringo's remark, "You've got a song and an
instrumental there."
09 - 10 I Feel Fine
Recorded Oct. 8, 1964 during a rare "rest day," before continuing on to Edinburgh in the midst
of their Fall U.K. Concert tour. The beginning feedback, described to the press at the time
as an "electric accident", was no such thing. It is present on both takes 6 (instrumental rhythm
track) and 7, as well as other takes.
11 - 12 Yes It Is
Recorded Feb. 16, 1965, day two of the "Help!" recording sessions. These run-through versions
(Takes 1 and 2) were recorded using George Martin's newly adopted technique of taping studio
rhearsals. Luckily, these early run-throughs weren't lost to erasure during spool-back.
13 Ticket to Ride
Take 2, an alternate take, is the only complete version recorded on Feb. 15, 1965. Paul plays
bass and lead guitar on this song, including the characteristic intro sequence.
14 - 18 Help!
Takes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 recorded April 13, 1965. Four false starts lead to a complete acoustic
instrumental rhythm track (Take 5). Electric overdubs, such as George's distinctive descending
guitar figures, are absent.
19 - 21 Day Tripper
Takes 1, 2 and 3 recorded Oct. 16, 1965. John and Paul later admitted this was a "forced"
composition, penned under pressure to create a new single. Presented here are all known takes
(1, 2 and 3) without vocal overdubs.
22 - 23 We Can Work it Out
These two takes (1 and 2) are the net results of nearly six hours of recording on Oct. 20, 1965.
Take 1 is presented here in a simplified rhythm track fashion. Take 2, from the evening session
still lacks the vocal overdubs added Oct. 29.
24 This Bird Has Flown
This take, recorded the evening of Oct. 12, 1965 at the start of the "Rubber Soul" sessions
was pure Lennon genius titled "Norwegian Wood" when re-recorded three days later. This
recording (Take 1), even with a rudimentary sitar and other subtle differences, is as brilliant
and dazzling as the piece on "Rubber Soul."
25 - 26 Paperback Writer
Takes 1 and 2 recorded April 14, 1966. Take 1 is a brief false start followed by Take 2, a
simplified, effects-bare version. (The click track is audible in the background).
27 Hello, Hello
Take 1 recorded Oct. 2, 1967, was to become "Hello Goodbye" when completed one month
later. This basic rhythm track (piano, drums, organ, bongos, maracas, conga and tambourine)
retains the "Maori Finale" reprise.
28 Magical Mystery Tour
Take 8 recorded April 25, 1967. John's narrative was added two days later on April 27. This
simplified version, marked by the coach noises and a short reprise, contains none of the other
overdubs presented on subsequent versions.
29 Jessie's Dream
One of the few tracks not recorded at EMI Studios. Sources speculate London's Morgan Studios
as the location of this mid-October session. Included in the "Magical Mystery Tour" film
soundtrack, it remains another interesting piece of incidental music.
30 Blue Jay Way
Take 1 recorded Sept. 7, 1967, with cello and tambourine added Oct. 6. Although the backward
guitar sounds are missing, this version, with its pioneering use of EMI's newly developed ADT
"flanging" effect, is a listening fascination.
31 Hey Jude
Recorded live in the studio July 30, 1968. Take 9 was really more a rehearsal than a
disciplined studio take. Even without the 36-piece orhestral backing, the take is outstanding.
32 I Hate to See (The Evening Sun Go Down)
Recorded between takes 6 and 9 of "Hey Jude" the evening of July 30. This short take is not
really a song, but actually, another yet-to-be developed idea.
Total Time 73:41

Liberated Boot CD - "Back Track Part Two"
"1970" date is arbitrary.. these were recorded over many years of album sessions.
