Sessionography researched & compiled by Craig Slowinski
NOTE: The following track credits and recording information have been newly compiled following painstaking research, including examination of the session tapes, studio track sheets, musician union contracts and record company files, plus previously published interviews and exclusive new conversations with many of the participants. Wherever possible, harmony & backing vocalists are listed in order from highest part to lowest part. Horn and woodwind credits were assigned mostly by comparing aural evidence from the session tapes to the union contracts and the players' known expertise. It is our belief that the information presented here is as close to being 100% accurate as is possible.

Master # 53999
Master is Take 14 Recorded on 1/2" 3-track analog tape, followed by reduction-mix transfer (w/simultaneous overdub) to second-generation 1/2" 4-track analog tape (dubdown 5A) for overdub & vocals, followed by reduction-mix transfer to third-generation 1/2" 4-track analog tape (dubdown 1B) for additional vocals Track recorded at Western Recorders Studio 3, Hollywood, CA, Monday July 12, 1965, 12:00am-3:00am Engineer: Chuck Britz Guitar overdubs recorded at Western Recorders Studio 3, Hollywood, CA, Wednesday December 22, 1965, 12:30pm-1:30pm Engineer: Chuck Britz Vocals recorded at Western Recorders Studio 3, later on Wednesday December 22, 1965, and probably Wednesday December 29, 1965 Engineer: Chuck Britz, 2nd engineer: Winston Wong NOTE: despite the session date of 12/29 appearing on the AFM guitar overdub contract, the first guitar overdub was clearly done simultaneously with dubdown A, as evidenced by the multiple takes made during the process (takes 1A-5A), and the date of 12/22 is inscribed on the tape box track sheet from that session (sessionman Billy Strange later recalled that his second guitar overdub was done immediately after the first, on the same day). Vocals were also added on that date, and probably on 12/29 (onto dubdown 1B) as well - so it would seem that the AFM contract for the 12/22 guitar overdub session wasn't drawn up until the 12/29 vocal session, and the then-current date was simply used. Side Two.
