The One After 909, takes 1 - 5
1.	take 1 (breakdown)	March 5, 1963 During the recording session for the soon to be single "From Me To You/Thank You Girl" the Beatles wanted to record two more songs. "The One After 909" and "What Goes On", but there was only time for one, so the group spent the evening in Studio Two from 7:00-10:00 pm concentrating on "The One After 909". Four takes and an edit piece of the middle eight guitar solo through to the end of the song were put to tape, though only one was a complete version, the others all breaking down at various points.	1:18

A short (34 min.) but excellent CD. Tobe Milo apparently has found the source tape of these sessions. Their comment on the back cover of the sleeve (made to look like a vinyl EP) "All tracks are the most complete and best quality to date," says it all.
