A complete take.

Rehearsal
Excerpt
4 Nov 1965
SS.ETC.10.Reh
Before recording the two takes of 12-Bar Original, The Beatles rehearsed the whole song and taped it.
The two takes were recorded over the rehearsal and we only have about 1:50 left of the end of the rehearsal.

This is a rehearsal that was found on the same tape as the two first takes.
In fact, the first takes were recorded over the rehearsals and this is what remains of these rehearsals.
