"no-one” in the verse. The chords of the chorus (Em-A-Em) also create the Dorian progression i-IV-i. The song achieves a thick sound through its double-tracked vocal, reverbed guitars, and busy drumming. The elaborate percussion lends the song a Latin rhythm accentuated by its stop-time structure. Recording The Beatles first recorded the song in EMI's Studio Two on 11 September 1963. Recording seven takes, three of which were overdubs, none of these takes were used. Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn writes the results were deemed unsatisfactory, while Beatles writer John C. Winn writes the band ran out of time during their slated recording time. Returning to the studio the next day, the band remade the song from 7:00–11:30 pm, designating the first take as "take 10". George Martin produced, assisted by engineers Norman Smith and Richard Langham. Harrison sings lead vocal and plays the guitar solo on all tracks, complaining between takes about the difficulty this adds to performing. Lennon plays rhythm guitar, trying to achieve a "dirty" sound on early takes by raising the signal gain on his Rickenbacker 325 Capri. Martin was unsatisfied with the effect and suggested the use of a compressor to flatten the guitar's dynamic range and achieve the desired "organ sound". Lennon's amp provides a tremolo effect, resulting in a more "sinister" sound in the refrain and bridge, similar to the timbre heard in songs by the Shadows. Take 13 was deemed best, allowing the band to proceed with overdubbing. Harrison records another vocal, double tracking his original, while McCartney plays claves, Lennon the tambourine and Starr an Arabian bongo. Recording concludes with take 19, the overdub of take 15 onto take 13 deemed "best". Martin, Smith and Geoff Emerick mixed the track for mono on 30 September, then for stereo on 29 October. Another engineer assisted with stereo mixing, unidentified besides the initials "B. T." The stereo mix includes the end of "four" from Harrison's "one-two-three-four" count-in. Release With the Beatles was released by EMI's Parlophone label on 22 November 1963, with "Don't Bother Me" sequenced as the fourth track between "All My Loving" and "Little Child". Release in the US followed on 20 January 1964 on Capitol's Meet the Beatles!, sequenced as seventh and opening the second side of the record. Ian MacDonald writes reception to the song has generally been poor, with even Harrison himself subsequently discounting it. In I, Me, Mine, Harrison
