Album Notes
The Beatles: George Harrison (6- & 12-string guitars, vocals); John
Lennon (guitar, harmonica, vocals); Paul McCartney (bass, vocals);
Ringo Starr (drums). Additional personnel: George Martin (piano).
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, England and EMI Pathe
Studios, Paris, France. Tracks 1-7 were featured in the film "A Hard
Day's Night." A HARD DAY'S NIGHT was the first Beatles album to
feature all original material (written by Lennon/McCartney), and the
first to feature George Harrison playing his Rickenbacker electric
12-string guitar (on the opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night," for
instance). The distinctive sound of the 12-string influenced Roger
McGuinn of The Byrds, among others. Capitol released these CDs in
their original British formats. The British LPs had 14 songs,
compared to only 12 in the US versions. In addition, the British LPs
did not contain many of the singles, under the theory that most fans
had already bought the singles, so that the LPs would contain all
new music.
