About
From Anthology 1:
Pre-dating the version on the Let It Be album by six years, this recording sequence of One After 909 was taped toward the end of the session in which the Beatles cut From Me To You and Thank You Girl, the A- and B-sides of their third single. Despite putting down five takes, however, the Beatles failed to achieve an entirely satisfactory recording of One After 909 in this session, leaving the job unfinished and unissued.
The sequence presented here comprises Take 3, which broke down, followed by a short extract of Take 4 before it too broke down, and the beginning of Take 5, which was an edit piece from the guitar solo onwards. Finally, by editing them together, we hear how 4 and 5 could have been made into a master.
The breakdown of Take 3 provides fine aural evidence of the incredibly hectic schedule endured by the Beatles in 1962/63. The finger points to Paul who complains that he doesn’t have his plectrum, and the voice of road manager Neil Aspinall is then heard, indicating that Paul didn’t instruct him to bring in his suitcase. The previous night the Beatles had been performing at a ballroom in St. Helens, just outside Liverpool. But the morning of the recording session found them 200 miles south, on photographic assignments at EMI house, on the street of London and on the steps outside Abbey Road studio. Then came the important recording session in the afternoon and evening followed by a swift return north for a BBC radio appearance in Manchester the next day, 6 March.
