Notes: The Beatles arrived for the afternoon recording session, which lasted from 2.30-5.30pm. They recorded a remake of John
Lennon`s "I Should Have Known Better", following their initial attempts on the previous day. Takes 4-22 were recorded on this
day, including overdubs. The final version was the basic track from take nine, with a double-tracked vocal and harmonica overdub from take 22.

A third session took place from 7-10pm. Takes 3-19 of a remake of Paul McCartney`s "And I Love Her" were recorded, but the
recordings were deemed unsatisfactory. The Beatles finally completed the song the next day.

This footage was used in the documentary "Follow The Beatles" that was screened on UK TV in August to promote their film "A Hard Day`s Night".
