The first album track to be completed, When I'm Sixty-four was wrapped up ten days
before the end of 1966. The song had been written by Paul some years previously - the
Beatles had performed it acoustically in the Cavern Club when their amplifiers broke
down; now newly revived and suitably polished, recordings began on 6 December 1966, while
Strawberry Fields Forever was on the boil and before Penny Lane was
begun. Three clarinettists were brought in on 21 December to augment the Beatles' own
instrumentation, then - like Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - the song was speeded up quite
considerably during remixing.
