About
This session was the third of four mixing sessions to create missing stereo versions of some Beatles’ songs, for inclusion on the compilation “A Collection of Beatles Oldies” (released in December 1966). The three other sessions were held on October 31, November 7 and November 10. None of those sessions was attended by The Beatles.
George Martin was absent from this session, so engineer Geoff Emerick oversaw the mixing of “She Loves You“. As the original two-track tapes had been destroyed after the song was recorded, he had to create a mock stereo version during this 90-minute session, from 4 pm to 5:30 pm.
Emerick spent 90 minutes fabricating a mock stereo’ version of the song — remix two was the best’ — merely by slashing all of the top frequencies from the left channel to give a bassy sound and slashing all bass from the right channel, giving a trebly, tinny sound. Together they formed the best `stereo’ that could be achieved.
