NESTE MESMO DIA ... 48 ANOS ATRÁS Recording: Michelle 2.30pm, Wednesday 3 November 1965 (48 years ago) Studio Two, EMI Studios, Abbey Road Producer: George Martin Engineer: Norman Smith One of the highlights of the Rubber Soul album, Paul McCartneys Michelle, was recorded on this day at Abbey Road. There were two scheduled sessions, from 2.30-7pm and 7-11.30pm, although the day was effectively one continuous session. During the afternoon the group rehearsed and arranged the rhythm track, which was recorded in a single take onto several tracks of the multi-track tape. The backing track contained McCartneys Epiphone Texan acoustic guitar, George Harrison playing John Lennons Framus 12-string acoustic guitar, and Ringo Starrs drumming. Each of the guitars on the rhythm track was capoed at the fifth fret. The recording was then given a reduction mix to free up extra tracks for overdubs. In the evening Lennon filled track two with his Ramírez acoustic guitar, on which he played the descending notes in the songs introduction and transitions, plus a bass guitar part by McCartney, and a distorted guitar solo played by Harrison on his Epiphone Casino guitar. On track three were Lennon, McCartney and Harrisons harmony vocals, and onto the final track McCartney recorded his lead vocals.
