by Martin and Smith during their travels to Paris, where they met with the Beatles. On 29 January 1964, the Beatles were due in the studio to record the German translations. In an interview for Mark Lewisohn's 1988 book The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Martin recalled of the day: The Beatles recorded "" and "", along with McCartney's new song "Can't Buy Me Love", at EMI's Pathé Marconi Studios in Paris. This was their first recording session outside Abbey Road and the band's only one outside of the United Kingdom. "" was the first of three songs recorded that day. Martin produced it, being supported by engineers Smith and Jacques Esmenjaud. Smith recalled, "I found the studio very odd to work in, the equipment was alien to anything we were used to", and, "[There] was absolutely no atmosphere!" The original rhythm track was mixed down from four-track to two-track. The Beatles overdubbed German vocals and handclaps across 11 takes, as well as George Harrison's Country Gent. Takes five and seven were marked "best" and edited together, along with a handclap overdub. The original two-track tape of "She Loves You", recorded on 1 July 1963, had been erased after the mono master was finished, meaning the Beatles needed to record "" entirely from scratch. They recorded a new rhythm track in 13 takes. John Lennon's rhythm guitar distinguishes the German and English backing tracks from one another. In July 1963 on "She Loves You", he plays his Gibson J-160E, a guitar later stolen in early January 1964 during the Beatles' 1963–64 Christmas show. For "", he instead plays his Rickenbacker 325 Capri. The Beatles overdubbed German vocals in a single take – take 14. Smith recalled, "They were extremely pleased to get it over with... we all were." The Beatles worked quicker than anticipated and so cancelled a second session booked for two days later on 31 January 1964. They used their remaining studio time to record four takes of "Can't Buy Me Love". On 10 March 1964, while the Beatles filmed A Hard Day's Night, Martin, assisted by Smith, mixed "" and "" for mono at EMI Recording Studios. He used the combined edit of takes five and seven for the former and take 14 for the latter. Two days after the initial mix, they mixed the songs for stereo, equalizing, compressing and adding echo as well. Copies of the
