The Beatles in EMI Abbey Road Studios - And I Love Her (Complete Session Footage) February 1964

This is earliest known footage of the Beatles inside EMI Studios at Abbey Road. On Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th February 1964, they worked on the new track And I Love Her for the “A Hard Day’s Night“ to be released later in the year. This black and white newsreel footage originally featured NO MUSIC from the Beatles and was completely SILENT - the broadcaster later placed narration over the top, I added music from the Hard Day’s Night album sessions and few other later sessions to pad out. In the footage you will see the band working on the harder rockier version as heard on Anthology 1, then on the softer version with the Spanish guitar as heard on the official 1964 release. The footage is not in chronological order so you may have to work out which day is which via clothing and the instrumentation. Those featured in the footage are the Beatles, George Martin and Norman “Hurricane“ Smith, Mal Evans, Neil Aspinall, Alun Owen (Script Writer of A Hard Days’s Night)
