I Call Your Name (second stereo studio mix)

~ Recording by The Beatles

Annotation

Just like the earlier stereo mix, the EMI staff incorporated the introduction from an earlier take without the overdubs, thereby omitting the cowbell. However, this time they were a little late in returning back to the finished take seven with the overdubs, so the first line, “I call you name,” is from the earlier take and is therefore single-tracked. They then decided to edit back to take seven at the beginning of the second measure, which brings in the cowbell for the first time in the song just before the words “but you’re not there.” The solo section is still edited in from the earlier take of the song, but it comes in just after the words “I call your name” at the end of the third verse, which therefore has the cowbell playing through those words. Unlike the previous stereo mix that has the vocals in the right channel only, these elements are now centered in this newer stereo mix. This hurriedly done mix didn’t get released until the 1976 “Rock ‘n’ Roll Music” compilation.
