It seems that Anthology didn't know what it wanted to be until Volume 2 was released. Marketing strategy tailored to short term American attention span could be the logic. Otherwise, a series of albums 'by year' must have seemed too labor intensive for the fickle consumers. Eight volumes(1962-1969) would be unsustainable for a campaign especially if all released at once. So, we got three volumes with staggered release dates and I thought that the first volume was so bad that the second and third volumes would be cancelled. But, regarding the intro for Yellow Submarine, I think it makes sense that there aren't to many leftovers from REVOLVER. They had bigger ideas and better technology. It was nothing they could have predicted, but most of the visions were realized as conceived due to increased technical efficiency and crystal clear creative aptitude. It's as if they had built the pyramid of Cheops and had one 90 pound sack of redi-mix concrete left over...oh, I'm wrong...it was a 60 pound sack.
Thanks!

June 3rd 1966 – Studio Two, 7:00pm-2:30am

01. I Want To Tell You – Take 4 overdub of the bass, from demucs3B. The handclaps heard in the
final verse were added the previous evening to one of the empty tracks after the reduction. The
vocals track and the handclaps track were both given the ADT treatment during final mixing. You
can hear George come in early with the vocal.

02. I Want To Tell You – Mono mix RM4.

03. Yellow Submarine – Mono mix RM5.

June 6th 1966 – Studio Three, 7:00pm-12:00am

01. And Your Bird Can Sing – Mono mix, edit of RM9-10.

02. I’m Only Sleeping – Mono mix RM6.

03. Tomorrow Never Knows – Mono mix RM11, pressed on the first copies of the album but immediately
pulled and replaced by RM8.

June 6th 1966 – Studio Three, 12:00-1:30am

04. Eleanor Rigby – Last vocal overdub at the end of the song, from the YS bluray 5.1; although
there might have been more to it. The mixing flub on the lead vocal at the beginning of the stereo
mix might not be a result of an ADT mistake; it could be a bit of the "double-tracked in places"
vocal mentioned by ML. Some of that double-tracking could have been part of this session.

05. Eleanor Rigby - Front channels from the Yellow Submarine bluray 5.1 mix which clearly demon-
strates the double-tracked vocals during the choruses.

06. Eleanor Rigby - This is the left channel of the regular stereo mix, compressed to bring out the
vocal underneath, which sounds almost like a different vocal, not tape bleed or stereo mix bleed or
an ADT remnant; part of the double-tracking heard on the choruses? Is this on the backing vocals
track or part of this last overdub? The "El..." goof must be a result of this track having the
fader up by mistake. The vocal fades back in at the first "all the lonely..." chorus and also fades
in during the final vocal overdub, which seems to indicate that it must be on the backing vocals
track. No double-tracking at all is evident on the mono mix, unless it is part of the backing
vocals "ah look at all the lonely people" on which Paul would likely be singing again. Only ADT
is applied to the vocal during the choruses; this is absent on the acetate cut the following day.

07. Eleanor Rigby - Vocals from the acetate the following day, using demucs3. They're not using
any of the double-tracking except maybe on the refrains. Curious (although Paul's "...from" in the
first chorus is off key). ADT would have been added during the final mix.


Thanks to Gabe for pointing out the double-tracking which we totally missed the first time around,
and other insights.

Here's the rest of it. Thanks for listening.

June 7th 1966

No one was in the studio (maybe Paul and John were busy finishing up Good Day Sunshine),
but someone must have wanted to hear these two songs, maybe to see if they needed any
more work done on them.

01. Eleanor Rigby – RM4? – 2015 ebay acetates – this is the acetate label date.

02. And Your Bird Can Sing #1 - Take 10+6 edit - this is the date on the acetate label.


June 8th 1966 – Studio Two, 2:30pm-2:30am

01. Good Day Sunshine – Take 1 – Basic take from the stereo left channel, vocals
removed as usual with demucs3. Sources say this basic take was of drums, piano and
bass, but the "bass" sounds like it could be a rhythm guitar (John) played with
the treble knob all the way down.

02. Good Day Sunshine – Vocal overdub, vocals from mvsep with a brief crossfade
from another source to catch John's answering "she feels good."


June 9th 1966 – Studio Two, 2:30-8:00pm

01. Good Day Sunshine – Piano and drums overdubs onto a 3rd track, with piano solo
by GM and handclaps as well as additional vocals onto the 4th track. This demucs3B
instrumental from the stereo right channel reveals the last cymbal crash being abruptly
cut off; the ending vocal insert must have been punched in on this track.

02. Good Day Sunshine - Vocal inserts onto one of the last 2 tracks. Both vocals were
then panned in the final stereo mix; it sounds like the insert comes in on the right,
then the main vocal is panned right, the insert panned left, and lastly the main vocal
comes in again still on the right.


June 14th 1966 – Studio Two, 7:00pm-2:00am

01 Here, There And Everywhere - Rehearsal and learning the song at EMI. From YBN.

Here There and Everywhere – Takes 1-4, no audio is available.


June 16th 1966 – Studio Two, 7:00pm-3:30am

01. Here There And Everywhere – Take 7 – Center channel extraction from the Real Love cd single.

02. Here There And Everywhere – Take 13 backing track from the Disque Americ right channel, using
demucs3B to remove most of the vocals. One source has Paul on guitar but the bass is clearly present
as part of this track so John must be on rhythm guitar. Unless... ML says the bass was an overdub
which could put Paul on guitar for the basic track, while George does a few fills and uses the
volume pedal at the end. Paul may have sung a guide vocal on a vacant track, as he did on take 7.

03. Here There And Everywhere – Take 13 overdub of backing vocals from the Real Love cd single right
channel. Love that digital reverb!

04. Here There And Everywhere – Take 13 overdub of backing vocals from the Real Love cd single left
channel.

05. Here There And Everywhere – Take 14 overdub – Lead vocal from the stereo right channel using
demucs3B to separate the vocal from the rest, slowed by half a semi-tone as it was supposedly
originally recorded. ML says this filled up the last free track but then we have Paul double-
tracking his lead vocal the following evening. Since we clearly do have two lead vocals (panned
right and left in stereo) then the reduction mix had to have put everything else on 2 tracks; the
backing vocals on one and all the instruments on the other. If the tape was running slow for this
first vocal, it couldn't have been the guide vocal. With only 3 tracks definitely accounted for
prior to the reduction, bass could easily have gone on the 4th track. It does have a sort of
washed-out sound similar to the bass on Revolution 1; not very well articulated.


June 17th 1966 – Studio Two, 7:00pm-1:30am

01. Here There And Everywhere – Last vocal overdub as well as more lead guitar from George,
from the Disque Americ stereo left channel.

02. Got To Get You Into My Life – Last guitar overdub.

03. Here There And Everywhere – Monitor mix playback 1. All 4 have different tracks faded in
and out, as well as some pre-take chat. The last bit of vocal overdub is present; playbacks
from the completed 4-track, all taken from CCRMM.

04. Here There And Everywhere – Monitor mix playback 2

05. Here There And Everywhere – Monitor mix playback 3

06. Here There And Everywhere – Monitor mix playback 4


June 20th 1966 – Studio One, 6:00-8:30pm

01. Got To Get You Into My Life – Mono mix RM8.


June 21st 1966 – Studio Three, 10:00am-1:00pm

01. Love You To – Stereo mix, edit of RS1-3.

02. I Want To Tell You – Stereo mix RS2

03. Here There And Everywhere – Stereo mix RS2.

04. Here There And Everywhere – Mono mix RM3.

June 21st 1966 – Studio Three, 2:30-6:30pm

05. For No One – Mono mix RM8.

06. Doctor Robert – Mono mix RM6.

07. Taxman – Mono mix, edit of RM5-6. RM6 is presumably the mix of the added-on outro guitar piece
and George’s new ‘…me.’

08. For No One – Stereo mix RS1.

09. Taxman – Stereo mix, edit of RS1-2. RS2 is presumably the mix of the added-on outro guitar piece
and George’s new ‘…me.’

June 21st 1966 – Studio Two, 7:00pm-3:45am

10. She Said She Said – Take 3 – Basic take from demucs3 model B, featuring George (according to
Paul) on bass. Paul said later they’d ‘had a barney’ and he walked off the session. John’s guitar
was recorded on a separate channel and panned right in the final mix. (All sources except Paul
say Paul is on bass.)

11. She Said She Said – Take 3 overdub – Vocals from John and George, no Paul. The ending is faded
up to hear a couple of extra vocal lines. Vocals are doubled manually; John harmonizes with himself
in the middle 8's. Both vocal tracks must have been combined in the reduction.

12. She Said She Said – Take 4 overdub of organ and lead guitar, from the stereo right channel. The
ending is faded up. RS says the basic take was of drums, bass, and “two guitars.” The rhythm guitar
and organ are easy to hear, the question here is whether or not there are two lead guitars on this
track. If there are, then George had to have been playing one of those lead guitars on the basic
take (recorded on the same track as John’s guitar) and thus Paul would have had to have played bass,
since the bass is on the same track with the drums and could not have been overdubbed. The reduction
from 3 to 4 combined the two vocal tracks and did not affect the placement or panning of instruments.
Listen to the unfaded outro and you will hear what sounds to these ears like two George guitar parts,
which indicates that Paul is indeed on bass. ML does note 2 guitars on the backing track and an
additional guitar as well as John on organ on the 4th track.


June 22nd 1966 – Studio Three, 7:00pm-1:30am

Final mixes for the album. (I didn't upload these as they are all standard tracks; you can assemble them very easily).

01. Eleanor Rigby – Mono mix RM5.

02. She Said She Said – Mono mix RM4. (Is this the same mix as on the acetate from the ebay auction?)

03. Good Day Sunshine – Mono mix RM7.

04. Eleanor Rigby – Stereo mix RS1.

05. She Said She Said – Stereo mix RS1.

06. Good Day Sunshine – Stereo mix RS1.

07. Yellow Submarine – Stereo mix RS2.

08. Tomorrow Never Knows – Stereo mix RS6.

09. Got To Get You Into My Life – Stereo mix RS1.
