New stereo remix and remaster, sourced from the 2009 Stereo USB. Remastered by referencing an original -2/-2 tube cut vinyl and the 2014 mono vinyl, and using AI to manipulate the stereo image.
The second recording session for their second British album “With The Beatles” took place at EMI Studio Two on July 30th, 1963. This day, which was broken up into a morning and evening session, saw six songs being worked on. The afternoon session, which ran from 5 to 11 pm, saw five songs worked on and four of these completed. After George Martin performed many piano overdubs for the song “Money,” The Beatles completed “Till There Was You,” “Roll Over Beethoven” and “It Won’t Be Long” before starting and completing “All My Loving” on the same day. "Take one" of the song began approximately at 10 pm, and by 11 pm the song was complete and ready for mixing.
"The thing that strikes me about the 'All My Loving' recording is John's guitar part," Paul relates in his book "The Lyrics." "He's playing the chords as triplets. That was a last-minute idea, and it transforms the whole thing, giving it momentum. The song is obviously about someone leaving to go on a trip, and that driving rhythm of John's echoes the feeling of travel and motion. It sounds like a car's wheels on the motorway, which, if you can believe it, had only really become a thing in the UK at the end of the '50s. But, it was often like that when we were recording. One of us would come up with that little magic thing. It allowed the song to become what it needed to be."
Takes one through 11 were needed to create a full band run-through of the song, which included McCartney’s vocals as well as all of the group on their usual instruments. This actually comprised ten takes, since there was no "take five." "Take 11" was considered the best. Since Paul wanted to double-track his vocals as well as provide his own harmony vocals on the third verse, the engineering team re-recorded "take 11" from the original two-track tape onto another two-track machine while Paul simultaneously recording his new vocal parts. Three attempts were made at perfecting his vocals, these being documented as takes 12 through 14, "take 14" being deemed the best. This is the complete version of this classic track as we know it.
