If one looks at George Martin’s handwritten paperwork, when Paul recorded his lead guitar parts, George was occupied with acoustic guitar and John was on electric guitar, so this was practically the only time that Paul ever “replaced” George on lead guitar except for “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?” besides, George and Paul played the double guitar solo on “The Night Before”, so it was really generous of Paul to compromise with George. The effect was used again for ‘Yes It Is’ during the same recording session. Harrison’s guide vocals on track two were replaced with more vocals from Lennon and McCartney, as well as cowbell by Starr and Harrison’s Rickenbacker 12-string guitar, the latter played using a volume foot pedal. During this session, track four – containing vocals by Harrison and Paul McCartney, and cowbell by Ringo Starr – was wiped, and Harrison added a new lead vocal part, with harmonies from McCartney and John Lennon. The song’s backing track had been recorded the previous day. The first lasted from 2.30-5pm, and began with overdubs onto George Harrison’s song ‘I Need You’. Two recording sessions took place in the afternoon and evening, both in Abbey Road’s Studio Two. Among them was the Carl Alan Award, given to the Best Group of 1964, and a set of traditional Japanese dolls from EMI’s Japanese arm. In the morning The Beatles and Brian Epstein visited EMI’s headquarters in Manchester Square, London, where company chairman Sir Joseph Lockwood presented them with awards, gold discs and gifts from around the world. The Beatles’ second recording session of 1965 involved work on two songs for the Help! album, plus the completion of ‘Yes It Is’, the b-side of the ‘Ticket To Ride’ single.
