16, 20 and 29 October 1965, Abbey Road Studios. Rubber Soul Sessions 1965. Day Tripper was recorded in three takes during the sessions for Rubber Soul. On the afternoon of 16 October 1965 the band spent some hours rehearsing the backing rhythm track, recording three takes, only the final one of which was complete. That evening they added a number of overdubs; Lennon and McCartney both shared lead vocals, and Lennon played the climactic guitar solo. The basic track of We Can Work It Out was laid down on 20 October 1965, while the group were recording Rubber Soul. In a four-hour session The Beatles rehearsed and then recorded just two takes of the rhythm track. They then spent nearly five further hours overdubbing instruments, including Lennon's distinctive harmonium in the verses. The vocals took up much of the evening session, and were completed during a two-hour session on 29 October. Track Listing: 01. Day Tripper (Take 1) [00:00] 02. Day Tripper (Take 2) [02:06] 03.
