Set 1Disc 1 - Sessions Dec 3-8 1965

19th Nervous Breakdown - backing rhythm track - from L ch of UM7 stereo
mix. Some piano heard at the end. Mick's vocal is double-tracked so R ch must all be one take of overdubs unless there was an internal bounce.
19th Nervous Breakdown - overdub track from R ch - must be Brian on
guitar, Keith on fuzz guitar doubling left-ch riff, bass run must be an
overdub by Bill
19th Nervous Breakdown - alternate vocals C - might be live vocal for tv
show, with studio backing tracks
19th Nervous Breakdown - master vocals C
Sad Day - mono
Mother's Little Helper - backing L
Mother's Little Helper - overdub R - (The strange guitar sound is) a 12-string
with a slide on it. It's played slightly Oriental-ish. The track just needed
something to make it twang. Otherwise, the song was quite vaudeville in a way. I wanted to add some nice bite to it. And it was just one of those things where someone walked in and, Look, it's an electric 12-string. It was some gashed-up job. No name on it. God knows where it came from. Or where it went. But I put it together with a bottleneck. Then we had a riff that tied the whole thing together. And I think we overdubbed onto that. Because I played an acoustic guitar as well. -Keith 2002
Mother's Little Helper - vocals C
Doncha Bother Me - backing L
Doncha Bother Me - guitar overdubs R - 3 guitars in the R ch, one in the L ch.
Doncha Bother Me - vocals/harmonica C
Goin' Home - Keith speaks
Goin' Home - false start
Goin' Home - backing L - Mick on tambourine must mean his lvs were an
overdub, otherwise those lvs would have bled all over this track on the
tambourine mic.
Goin' Home - overdubs R - lead guitar and bvs, overdubs stop at 3:10
Goin' Home - lv overdub C

Disc 2 - Sessions Dec 3-8 65 and Mar 6-9 1966

Take It Or Leave It - backing L - has both koto and harpsichord, Brian is
supposed to be playing both. Maybe Jack Nitsche is on harps and Brian overdubs the
organ in R ch.
Take It Or Leave It - overdubs R - bvs and organ
Take It Or Leave It - lead vocal C
Think - backing L - lv is double-tracked so everything in R ch must be
an overdub, unless they did a reduction or internal bounce.
Think - overdubs R - sounds like 3 guitars here though: acoustic, electric
and fuzz. Or is it fuzz bass?
Think - double-tracked vocals C
Ride On Baby - backing L - no leakage of C or R ch's
Ride On Baby - overdubs R - heavy leakage of vocals on some R ch
instrument mics (?) might indicate lv or bv performed with inst overdubs while
being recorded to another track. Or R ch overdub recorded after the vocals
Ride On Baby - vocals C
Sittin' On A Fence - backing L - no leakage from R or C ch's.
Sittin' On A Fence - guitar R - Keith (?) overdub (?) or Brian
Sittin' On A Fence - vocals C

Paint It Black - stereo backing LR - Stictly Stereo

Disc 3 - Sessions Mar 6-9 1966

Stupid Girl - stereo backing LR
Stupid Girl - vocals C
Flight 505 - stereo backing LR - bass and fuzz bass on L, sounds like lead
guitar overdub on R. Maybe internal bounce of guitars to R, fuzz bass overdubbed
on 4th track panned L?
Flight 505 - vocals C
High And Dry - stereo backing LR - song performed live?
High And Dry - vocals C
I Am Waiting - stereo backing LR - vocal in R ch must be live with those
instruments because of double-tracked vocals in C
I Am Waiting - double-tracked Mick vocals C
If You Let Me - stereo backing LR - sounds like this song done "live"
If You Let Me - vocals C
It's Not Easy - stereo backing LR - 3 guitars in R ch, the guitar solo
might have been overdubbed after the extra chorus vocal since it's heard in
the R ch probably from monitor playback during tracking
It's Not Easy - double-tracked vocals C
Out Of Time - stereo backing LR - internal bouncing? On R ch we can hear
the bvs but not the lv.
Out Of Time - double-tracked vocals C
Under My Thumb - stereo backing LR - Problem: L ch has drums, bass, marimbas
and fuzz bass. R ch has acoustic and electric guitars and piano. Keith is supposed
to be playing both guitars. Electric guitar and fuzz bass must be overdubs.
Under My Thumb - vocals
What To Do - stereo backing LR
What To Do - double-tracked vocals
