1964 February 7 to 22 days | American tour. The rehearsal for the "Ed Sullivan Show" was held on the afternoon of 8th and the morning of 9th (George was absent due to his condition). On the afternoon of the 9th, recording for the third time of the program (23rd broadcast). The same program will be broadcast live on the night of the 16th. During this period, each member received a guitar from Rickenbacker. One of them is a 12-string guitar (Rickenbacker 360/12). ⇒ 63/10/4 Concerts are held in Washington DC on the 11th and at Carnegie Hall on the 12th. |
February 25, 1964 | Recorded using a 12-string guitar. 'You Can't Do That' (1st-9th Takes) 'Can't Buy Me Love' (4th Take) 'And I Love Her' (1st Take and 2nd Take ) 'I Should Have Known Better' (First to third take) 'You Can't Do That' was a song John wrote with Wilson Pickett in mind, like'When I Get Home', and he said that he played lead guitar, "There is nothing better than George, I played because I like it." 'And I Love Her' said it was the first ballad to impress Paul himself, and "her" refers to Jane Usher. Also, the title "And" has an important meaning, because it came from the second A melody, and it was "And" when I added it as I remembered that there was the last lyrics first and a little later. Talking. |
February 26, 1964 |
Mono mixing for singles ( 'Can't Buy Me Love' (ringo version) / 'You Can't Do That' ). However, 'Can't Buy Me Love', which requires an additional hi-hat for apples, seems to have been worked on later. Remake of "And I Love Her" with rust added from 19:00 to 22:00 (ringo changed from drums to bongo on the way). |
On this day, Klaus Forman went to England and stayed in the apartment where George and Ringo lived. At this time, instead of going straight from Germany, I went through Spain, where I bought a gut guitar. George, who liked the gut guitar, brought it to the studio the next day for use. (End of story by Klaus) | |
February 27, 1964 | Re- make "And I Love Her" with Klaus Gut guitar . Other, 'Tell Me Why' (first to eighth take), 'If I Fell' (Chapter 1 to 15 take) it is also recording. John describes the chord progression (D-D7-G-Gm-D) that moves to the chorus of'If I Fell' and describes it as a proper ballad song that is a precursor of'In My Life' . Also, the intro ("preamble") was written by Paul and is said to be the best one he created. Perhaps the reason for this was Do You Want To Know A Secret when I was trying to make a song for George ( 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You' ) . |
February 28, 1964 | Peter and Gordon have released'A World Without Love'. Recording is January 21st. |
March 1, 1964 | Recording the remaining 3 songs for the movie. 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You' (1st-4th takes) 'Long Tall Sally' (1st take, ⇒ 56/03 ) 'I Call Your Name' (1st-7th takes) 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You' is a co-write I wrote for George from the beginning, and like'Do You Want to Know a Secret' , "It would be nice to develop with E-Abm". It's aimed at, and is actually made with the exact same chord progression (E-Abm-F#m-B7). ⇒ 62/10 John said that "I Call Your Name" was making A melody when the Beatles had no form as a group (before Hamburg). For Billy J. Kramer's single B side (A side is'Bad to Me'), a middle 8 (rust) is added with Paul, and the arrangement is covered here. |
'And I Love Her' (2nd take) was unsatisfied even after remake such as adding chorus and changing composition, but old friend Klaus Forman appeared and happened to pass Spain, miraculously. The coincidence of purchasing a gut guitar has been remade into an acoustic song .'Can't Buy Me Love' hi-hat problem
Hi-hats are added to the mono version, but different performances are added for records and movies ( record (left) and movie (right) hi-hats ). Jeff Emmerich notes that Norman Smith was playing the drums "on the day he sat in the engineer's seat for the first time," but in recordings on February 25 and March 10, Norman Smith was the engineer. It is written. In other words, because Norman Smith plays, Emmeric must have been driven out as an engineer.
The single mono-mixing performed on the day after recording (February 26th) can be played with apples, but on March 10th, Norman Smith took the place of apples due to the absence of apples for movie shooting. It is presumed that the mixing was done.
Still, what remains a mystery is "the cause in the first place", and according to Emmerich, the high-pitched sound of track 1 (where the performance including the drums is recorded) was no longer produced due to the damage to the tape. It is said that the damage was brought back from Paris and noticed, but as the recording record shows, the vocal and the lead guitar were recorded again the day before mixing. If that was the case, it would have been okay to re-record the basic track, and it would be reasonable to assume that it was damaged when additional recording was performed.
And the tape operator (second engineer) on February 25 is written as "Richard Langham". How is the truth? ?
Feud between Martin and Richard Lester
Martin has been removed from being the music director in his next work, "HELP!", because he left a grudge against him in this work.
The key to solving this mystery lies in the mono-mixing on March 4. For the movie shooting that started on March 2nd, the next day we are mono-mixing the necessary new songs. However, at the beginning of the morning of the 4th, "I Call Your Name " "Improving Mono Mixing" is performed.
Multiple versions of this song have been released due to different intro and interlude takes, but the point here seems to be the echo of vocals. From the results of the sound source comparison, it is known that the movie uses a mix without echo, but it is presumed that it was created for confirmation by Leicester because it was a request different from the record production.
Since the movie'Can't Buy Me Love' (Norman Smith version) was created on March 10, all the mono mixes on March 3 became NG and re-mixing without echo. I was asked to.
It is speculated that this was the origin of the feud.

"Long Tall Sally" (mono & stereo) "I Call Your Name" (stereo) "You Can't Do That" (stereo) Actually, it seems that the following echo-free mono mix for the movie was also created at this time. 'I Should Have Known Better''If I Fell''Tell Me Why''And I Love Her''I'm Happy Just To Dance With You' |
March 20, 1964 | Released the single album'Can't Buy Me Love' / 'You Can't Do That' . Released in the US on March 16th. |
March 23, 1964 | John's "IN HIS OWN WRITE" is published. One piece of "Neville Club" in this work was read in an interview on December 10th of the previous year, and this interview is being broadcast on an Australian radio. Also, Richard Lester has proposed a movie title from the sentence "He'd had a hard days night that day, for Michael was a Cocky Watch tower." John reveals that this original story is apple-ism (a funny apple-style statement). |
April 4, 1964 | Billboard 1st-5th monopoly.(Reference) The following is as follows. 31 of 'I Saw Her Standing There' 41 of 'From Me To You' 46 of Do You Want To Know A Secret 58 of 'All My Loving' 67 of 'You Can Not Do That' 68 of 'Roll Over Beethoven' 79 of 'Thank You Girl' |
April 10, 1964 | Released the American edition "THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM" . |
April 16, 1964 | Recording'A Hard Day's Night' . Of the 9 takes, the final take will be accompanied by the phrase of the orchid playing style. George didn't play this phrase, similar to Yardbirds''Honey In Your Hips' , but recorded it at half tape speed. In addition, the film director Richard Lester, who was also present at the recording, persistently requested an intro with a high impact and a "Dreamy" ending (Emerick). Jeff Emmerich said, "Bongo is an apple playing," but Norman Smith himself testifies to it. |
April 20, 1964 | 'A Hard Day's Night' is mixed and the mono and stereo mixes are handed to United Artists for the movie soundtrack. |
April 23, 1964 | A mono mix for the record of'A Hard Day's Night' is created. *The record shows for the first time that the soundtrack for movies and the one for records are different. |
As usual, George suddenly plays the solo role in the song that he hears for the first time. Of the total 9 takes, the 8th take is a completely different solo, but during the final take (it's not solo because I'm playing with Paul), it's a sudden fast-playing phrase. This is a well-known half-speed recording , but the phrase itself is very similar to the intro of Yardbird's demo song'Honey In Your Hips' where Eric Clapton was enrolled (or rather, the third bar). Same as). It is unlikely that George would adopt a phrase that he couldn't play, and there is a good chance that Paul or John took the lead and forced him. It is normal in the Beatles for the guitar and bass to play the interlude, where bass is added to the bass part.Story about Fadd9
The opening code played by George in response to Leicester has been the subject of much debate for many years, but George himself replied in an online chat on February 15, 2001:
Q: Mr Harrison, What Is The Opening Chord You Used For "A Hard Day'S Night"?
A:. It Is F With A G On Top, But You'Ll Have To Ask Paul About The Bass Note To Get The Proper Story
clogging It is Fadd9, and this code is also used in the ending arpeggio.
It should be noted that this chord is not a cacophony created by chance, but you can see that it is used by John in the intro to John and George's co-authored'Cry For A Shadow' . It's certainly a code I remembered quite early on, and John's first learning was a banjo code, in part. There are various tuning methods for banjos, but it is speculated that his mother, Julia, taught open G tuning for a five-string banjo, which is similar to a guitar. In that case, the chord form of Fadd9 on the guitar is equivalent to a normal F chord. Probably the most natural chord form for John.
It is recorded that the theme song'A Hard Day's Night' was created on April 20th and 23rd, with two types of mono mixes (for movies and for records). Martin is unacceptable to use the movie mix for records, and it is speculated that he decided to make another. At this point, he may have decided to use the whole mono mix on March 3 (for records, not NG).Beatles and Clapton
Speaking of Clapton in the song, 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' is famous, but it seems that the first encounter with the Yardbirds will be the first.
When the Rolling Stones made their debut on Decca with the Beatles' recommendation, the Yardbirds were placed behind the Crowdad Club where the Stones had appeared. Clapton joined the Yardbirds in October 63 (when I provided the'I Wanna Be Your Man' to Stones).
Immediately after that, in November 1963, Yardbirds also recorded three demo songs in order to audition for Decca. Like the Beatles, the Yardbirds also fall to the Decca audition, but signed a contract with EMI in February 164. One of the demos is'Honey In Your Hips' , and the intro phrase played by Clapton in this song is the same as the orchestral part of'A Hard Day's Night' .
The song was auditioned and mistakenly released as a single in the Netherlands (Which label is unknown, but it was also coupled with'Boom Boom' , which was also included in the demo ), but it was EMI at the time. It is highly possible that the Beatles were listening directly to the Yardbirds demo inside.
May 2nd -27th, 1964 | The Beatles goes on vacation (John and George until 26th). Paul is out on vacation to the Bahamas with Jane Asher, Ringo and Morin, playing the acoustic guitar on the yacht while composing'Things We Said Today' . |

May 8, 1964 | The Strangers with Mike Shannon has released'One And One Is Two'. Billy J. Kramer refuses to record. |
May 29, 1964 | Peter and Gordon release'Nobody I Know'. Recording is April. |
June 1, 1964 | Recording songs for the album. 'Matchbox' (1st to 5th take, ⇒ 57/2 ) 'I'll Cry Instead' (1st to 8th take) 'Slow Down' (1st to 6th take, ⇒ 58/2 ) 'I'll Be Back' (1st to 16th takes) Karl Perkins is observing the session but not attending. 'I'll Be Back' changed the chord progression used in Del Shannon's song (probably to refer to'Runaway') to its own style (not lowering chord but lowering bass tone only) The same applies to the situation where A melody is A minor and Sabi is A major). It should be noted that during the recording, significant changes were made, such as changing from 3 beats to 4 beats . |
June 2, 1964 | Recording songs for the album. "Any Time At All" (1st-12th takes) "Things We Said Today" (1st-3rd takes) "When I Get Home" (1st-11th takes) 'Things We Said Today' is a song I made during the holidays in May, and "we" is Paul and Jane Asher, whose theme is "nostalgia in the future" that reminds us of the future. 'When I Get Home' is John's solo work based on the idea of a married life with Cynthia, and it is John's "Wilson Pickett-style Motown sound, a four-beat beat in one bar" (actually). I'm not using a cowbell). |
June 3, 1964 | Rehearsal for a concert with Jimmy Nicole, who has been hospitalized by Apple. |
Each person is a demo recording. 'You Know What To Do' (George) 'It's For You' (Paul) 'No Reply' (John) 'No Reply' is intended for Tommy Quickley's (NEMS affiliate) single, based on this demo The recording was scheduled for release on August 7th, but it was not released. The song is influenced by The Rays's'Silhouettes' released in 1957. In addition, "Any Time At All" and "Things We Said Today" added piano and others. | |

'If I Fell''A Hard Day's Night''I Should Have Known Better''I'm Happy Just To Dance With You''I Call Your Name''Can't Buy Me Love''You Can't Do That ' 'Tell Me Why''Things We Said Today''Matchbox' (copy of the thing on June 4th) 'Slow Down' (copy of the thing on June 4th) 'Long Tall Sally''I'll Cry Instead ' |
July 10, 1964 | Released single'A Hard Day's Night' / 'Things We Said Today' and album'A HARD DAY'S NIGHT' . |
What made the release situation more complicated is the Capitol.
EMI (and Apple) probably don't know the details, but Capitol is making its own modifications to the mix that's been sent. The addition of Echo is well known, but what has been attributed to mono and stereo versions has never been told.
Martin created a mono version when each song was recorded, then a stereo version at the end of the album session. If you send it to Capitol each time, only the mono version will be at hand first. To release the song, Capitol has created and released a pseudo-stereo version.
On the other hand, if both the mono version and the stereo version arrive at the same time, the stereo version may be dropped to mono. An American mono version of'I'll Be Back' is an example of this, which has also not been released to date.
July 14, 1964 | Recorded "A Hard Day's Night" on radio (for "TOP GEAR" on 7/16 broadcast). The interlude 8 bars have been replaced with monaural records . |

1964 August 11 to 14 days | Recording for "BEATLES FOR SALE" . 'Baby's In Black' (1st-14th take) 'I'm A Loser' (1st-8th take) 'Mr. Moonlight' (1st-4th take, ⇒ 62/X ) 'Leave My Kitten Alone' ( 1st to 5th take, ⇒ 59/06 ) John describes "I'm A Loser" as "My Dylan era" song. Also, "clown" was an artist-friendly word, but he said that it was OK because it was used by Dylan ( 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall' , ⇒ 63/11 ). 'Mr. Moonlight' (edited version of the 1st & 4th takes) became NG and remade on October 18. |
---|---|
August 23, 1964 | We are touring the United States from August 19th to September 20th, and Capitol is recording the live at the Hollywood Bowl on that day (recording after dissolution). ⇒ 65/8 American Tour The interlude of'A Hard Day's Night' plays the phrase exactly as it was recorded on a 12-string guitar. |
September 9, 1964 | Peter and Gordonk release'I Don't Want To See You Again'. |
1964 September 29 to 30 days | Recording for "BEATLES FOR SALE" . 'Every Little Thing' (1st-9th take) 'I Don't Want To Spoil The Party' (1st-19th take) 'What You're Doing' (1st-12th take) 'No Reply' (1st take) 1-8 takes) "What You're Doing" became NG and was remade on October 26. The'I Don't Want To Spoil The Party' testifies that John and Paul made C&W styles for apples, but the intro (and ending) was Bob Dylan's'Blowin' where John was affected. It's also the atmosphere of'In The Wind' . |
October 6, 1964 | Recording of'Eight Days A Week' (1st to 13th takes). Mark Luisson testifies that John was playing the riff for'I Feel Fine' . George said the riff was influenced by Bobby Parker's'Watch Your Step' (released in July 1986). |
October 8, 1964 | Recording of'She's A Woman' (1st-7th takes). Paul said he started writing music at home on the day to finish it on the way to the studio, and John said he helped with lyrics such as "turns me on" in the studio. |
October 18, 1964 |
Recording for "BEATLES FOR SALE" . 'Eight Days A Week' (editing part 14th-15th take) 'Kansas City / Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!' (1st-2nd take, ⇒ 59/04 ) 'Mr. Moonlight' (remake ) 5th-8th Takes) 'I Feel Fine' (1st-9th Takes) 'I'll Follow The Sun' (1st-8th Takes, ⇒ 60/Spring ) 'Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby' (1st Take) , ⇒ 57/X ) 'Rock And Roll Music' (1st take, ⇒ 57/09 ) 'Words Of Love' (1st ~ 3rd take, ⇒ 57/06 ) The feedback used for the'I Feel Fine' intro was recorded at the time of the first take, and it's unclear when it was discovered. 'Kansas City / Hey-Hey- Hey-Hey!' And 'Words Of Love' is recorded in the BBC for the summer of a year ago ( 'Kansas City' , 'Words Of Love' ). At that time, 'Words Of Love' was a duet between George and John following Buddy Holly, but this time Paul added an upper part. |
October 26, 1964 | Mono mixing for "BEATLES FOR SALE" . However, 'Kansas City / Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!' has stereo mixing because of the live piano addition. |
Recording for "BEATLES FOR SALE" . 'Honey Don't' (1st-5th take, ⇒ 56/01 ) 'What You're Doing' (13th-19th take with remake) Since Ringo gave up'I Don't Want To Spoil The Party', he suddenly added'Honey Don't' for additional recording. This leaves'Leave My Kitten Alone' out of the recording list without mixing. "Honey Don't" was recorded for the BBC a year ago, when John was in charge of lead vocals and the first half of the interlude. | |
October 27, 1964 November 4, 1964 | Stereo mixing for "BEATLES FOR SALE" . |
November 27, 1964 | Released single'I Feel Fine' / 'She's A Woman' . |
---|---|
December 4, 1964 | Released the album "BEATLES FOR SALE" . |
1964 December 8 to 21 days | Paul was inspired by John Mayall and purchased the Epiphone Casino ES-230TD (made in 1987).It's likely that Paul met Mayall during a session to record John Mayall & The Bruce Breakers on December 7th. Paul seems to have learned how to give feedback ( introduction to'I Feel Fine' ) on a hollow-body guitar at this time . I also bought the acoustic guitar Texan FT-79 at this time. |
December 24 to January 16, 1964 | "ANOTHER BEATLES' CHRISTMAS SHOW" sponsored by Epstein is being held in London as in the previous year. This time, Yardbirds is also in the lineup, and officially it will be the first meeting with Eric Clapton. Other performers include The Mike Cotton Sound , Freddie And The Dreamers, Elkie Brooks and Sounds Incorporated. The Beatles have 11 songs ( 'Twist And Shout' , 'I'm A Loser' , 'Baby's In Black' , 'Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby' , 'Can't Buy Me Love' , 'Honey Don't ' , 'I Feel Fine' , 'She's A Woman' , 'A Hard Day's Night' , 'Rock And Roll Music' , 'Long Tall Sally' ). During this period, Paul visited the Yardbirds dressing room with a Texan and asked for his impressions of'Scrambled Eggs' ('Yesterday' without lyrics). Aside: Yardbirds recorded'For Your Love' in February just after the show, but Clapton left without waiting for the group's first No.1 hit. Oddly enough, the Clapton will join John Mayall's band in April! !! |
