About
This was the third day of recording the “Revolver” album, continuing the work done on Paul McCartney’s “Got To Get You Into My Life“ the previous day.
Five takes had been recorded so far, in an acoustic vein. On this day, from 2:30 pm to 9 pm, The Beatles started from scratch, recording three takes (numbered takes 6 to 8), with Paul McCartney on bass, John Lennon on organ, George Harrison on electric guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums.
Recorded with frequency control (varispeed) at a slower than normal tape speed, the backing track played back a semitone higher in pitch as well as faster than the original performance.

Take 8 was now deemed the best and would become the basis of the final released version. Work on “Got To Get You Into My Life” would continue on April 11, 1966.
