The Beatles taped themselves rehearsing 'I'll Follow The Sun' sometime during 1960. Some experts believe this rehearsal session may have been recorded in Liverpool or at the Indra Club in Hamburg, Germany. This recording has been bootlegged.

The Beatles recorded 'I'll Follow The Sun' on October 18, 1964 for release on their LP, "Beatles For Sale." The song was completed in eight takes, take eight being used for release. The mono mix was prepared on October 21; the stereo mix was prepared on November 4. When this song was released in the US on the stereo LP "Beatles '65", this track was reprocessed.

On February 26, 1987 the album "Beatles For Sale" was released in both the US and the UK on the CD format. Originally, a new stereo mix was prepared for this release; however, George Martin later remixed the album in mono. The new mono mix is found on the CD release of the album "Beatles For Sale."

The Beatles recorded this song on November 17, 1964 for BBC Radio's "Top Gear" which aired November 26. This recording was released in both the US and the UK in March 1995 as a bonus track on The Beatles' 'Baby, It's You' CD single.

The Beatles performed this song at the Hammersmith Odeon on December 10, 1965. This recording is also available as a bootleg.
