Musicians: George Harrison – lead vocal, lead guitar; John Lennon – backing vocal, rhythm guitar; Paul McCartney – backing vocal, bass guitar; Ringo Starr – drums, loose-skinned Arabian bongo drum This was completed in four takes at their first-ever Sunday session. It was a bit of a formula song, said Paul. We knew that in E if you went to an A-flat minor, you could always make a song with those chords; that change pretty much always excited you. This is one of these. We wouldn’t have actually wanted to sing it though, because it was a bit… The ones that pandered to the fans in truth were our least favorite songs but they were good. They were good for the time.

Musicians: John Lennon – joint lead vocal, acoustic rhythm guitar; Paul McCartney – joint lead vocal, bass guitar; George Harrison – lead guitar; Ringo Starr – drums, tambourine This was done in two sections. They originally tried recording the whole thing in one go but it proved to be too difficult, so they spliced the ending on at 1:44. Interestingly, the British version didn’t include the splice, but the Americans wanted to release it as a single, so they stuck it on the end to make it a little bit longer. This version also appears on the American A Hard Day’s Night LP. (But Americans can hear the British version on the Something New LP.) The song was unceremoniously dumped from the movie after Dick Lester chose a repeat of Can’t Buy Me Love instead.
