LIT 3-02A 3 Eight Days a week was first released in December of 1964 on The Beatles 4th Studio Album Beatles for Sale. It was co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, though it is based on McCartney’s original idea. It was recorded in two sessions on the 6th October, and the group tried many different ideas for the intro and outro of the song, including a simple acoustic guitar and even sung “oohs”, before they eventually decided on the electric guitar intro we hear on the album. Instruments on the original track include acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, bass guitar and even hand claps.
