(Monday, November 8, 1965, 9:00 p.m.-3:00 a.m. GMT) — The Beatles resumed recording their sixth studio album Rubber Soul this evening at EMI Studio 2 in London, tracking George Harrison’s “Think for Yourself.”

The Beatles began by rehearsing the song, a process which was recorded by George Martin in the hope of some of the material being usable for their Christmas fan club release.

None of the “Beatle Speech” was used on the Christmas flexi disc, but a snippet of the group practicing their vocal harmonies was used in the Yellow Submarine film in 1968.

Late into the night, once work on “Think for Yourself” had concluded, The Beatles recorded “The Beatles’ Third Christmas Record.”
