Two takes were recorded of the rhythm backing on track one of the four-track tape with John playing acoustic guitar, Paul on bass, Ringo’s drums and George playing chords on an electric guitar in a style similar to The Byrds. That group’s music had impressed The Beatles during 1965; Derek Taylor wrote in his LP liner notes for Turn! Turn! Turn! by The Byrds that ‘The Beatles publicly named [them] as their fab gear fave rave American group.’ Harmony vocals by John, Paul and George were recorded on track three, although only the unaccompanied opening chorus was sung. The group returned the following day and spent nine hours perfecting a remake of ‘Nowhere Man’.
