One After 909 (sequence)

~ Recording by The Beatles

Annotation

excerpts of takes 3, 4, 5

As edited and mixed for Anthology: Take 3 fades up, breaks down, and ends with the spoken words "want them" (as it also does on a bootleg of this day's tapes). Take 4 fades up, breaks down, and ends with the words "wasn't", "it was", and a guitar strum. Take 5 starts just after the "take 5" announcement (as heard on bootleg), with the words "it must be", and strangely, the strum from the end of 4 is made to repeat over those words, merging the two to sound as if they ran continuously. Take 5 then fades out, ending the Anthology mix.
