Title:	Your Mother Should Know - Take 27
Credits:	John Lennon - Paul McCartney
Recorded:	EMI Studios, London, 16 September 1967
Producer:	George Martin
Engineer:	Ken Scott
Location:	Anthology 2 - disc 2, track 16

"Do you want us to do it again, George?" mocked Paul to the Beatles' producer at the start of this recording. Your Mother Should Know had already been on the blocks for a month, initial sessions taking place at a different venue - Chappell Studios, just off New Bond Street in Central London - on 22 and 23 August (the last time the Beatles saw their manager Brian Epstein, who died on the 27th). Now Paul was embarking on a new arrangement, with snare drum, harmonium, jangle piano and vocal.

The Beatles recorded eleven such takes of Your Mother Should Know during this 16 September session, the one featured here, Take 27, being marked "best", albeit only temporarily.

Location:	Magical Mystery Tour - track 5

A Paul McCartney song in similar vein to When I'm Sixty-Four, used effectively in the finale of the Magical Mystery Tour film. The recording was not as straightforward as it would seem. After all but completing the song in two August sessions at Chappell Studios, Paul set about taping an entirely new re-make three weeks later. Later still, ignoring the re-make, he and John exhumed the original Chappell tapes and overdubbed new instruments for the finished recording.
