I Want To Tell You

AUTHORSHIP Harrison (1.00)

RECORDED
June 2, 1966, at Abbey Road, with bass overdubbed June 3. This was the first bass overdub on a Beatles recording. They later become common because recording the bass on a separate track allowed greater flexibility in tailoring the sound during the mixing process.
