The Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand – Rare Outtake
1964- If The Beatles expected to be able to rest upon returning to England, they were wrong. Arriving at London Airport in the morning, they hold a press conference, which is broadcast in the middle of a popular sports television broadcast, “Grandstand”. Pathe News covered The Beatles return to England and made a documentary film out of the footage for distribution to theatres. There was plenty of radio coverage, too! The Beatles gave a phone interview to Brian Mathew for the program “Saturday Club”. That interview was followed by a song request dedicated to George Harrison for his upcoming birthday–it was sent in by his mother (and the song was “Shop Around”).
1965- The Beatles fly to the Bahamas to begin filming their second movie, “HELP!” They stay at the luxurious Balmoral Club, near Cable Beach. The movie’s original title was “Eight Arms to Hold You”, but it would be changed to “HELP!” in mid-April.

1967- The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Recording the piano note ending for “A Day in the Life”. John, Paul, Ringo, and Mal Evans, using three different pianos, simultaneously strike E major. It requires nine takes to get everyone hitting the note at the same moment. This is overdubbed three times, with a harmonium overdub by George Martin added in. The perfect ending for the song, and the album, had been found. Later in the session, the Beatles record an experimental track, “Anything” (aka “Drum Track”), 22 mins 10 secs long, of Ringo playing drums, augmented by tambourine and congas.
1969- The Beatles in the recording studio (Trident Studios, London). Recording “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” (35 takes). The track will not be completed until August 11.
1994- UK re-release of Beatles compilation album “The Beatles 1962-1966” on double LP (vinyl) using the digital masters. Also this date, the Beatles compilation album “The Beatles 1967-1970” is re-released on double LP (vinyl) from the digital masters. Only 20,000 copies of each are pressed for worldwide distribution.
