| Credits: | John Lennon - Paul McCartney | |

| Producer: | George Martin | |
| Engineer: | Geoff Emerick | |
| Location: | Magical Mystery Tour - track 10 |
Recorded primarily for the soundtrack of the Yellow Submarine movie but issued
much sooner than that, as the B-side of the July 1967 single 'All You Need Is Love', this
John Lennon song was the first and only recording to be begun, finished and mixed outside
of EMI's Abbey Road studio, the one required session taking place at Olympic Sound. Mick
Jagger attended the session and may well have contributed to the choruses at the end of
the song.
The song was recorded in 12 takes this day, and a tape
reduction was made (take 12 into takes 1 and 2). The mono mix was also
prepared this day from take 2.
The true stereo mix was prepared October 22, 1971 and
was first released on the German LP "Magical Mystery Tour" in
December 1973. The mono version runs 3'07"; the stereo version fades out
early.
