Locations:	Past Masters Volume One - track 17 The Beatles Anthology 3 - track 2

The first performance of Yes It Is presented on the Anthology 3 set is Take 2, in which John - author of the song - delivered a guide vocal while attempting, with the other Beatles, to perfect the song's rhythm track. Because the take broke down it is completed here with a section (in newly re-mixed and edited form) from the master, Take 14, distinguished by George's tone-pedal guitar sounds and some fine three-part vocal harmony work by John, Paul and George, emphasizing how well the recording blossomed - and how quickly too: the Beatles recorded Yes It Is from start to finish inside five hours.

The rhythm track was perfected in 14 takes. Take 14, with vocal superimposition, was used for release, and a mono mix was prepared on February 18. A stereo mix was prepared February 23, however, it was never released.

An edited version of take 2 - a breakdown - and a remixed take 14 was released in both the US and the UK on March 19, 1996 on "The Beatles Anthology Volume 2."

Takes 1 - 11 from the February 16, 1965 recording session have all found their was onto various bootlegs.
