beatles bop – hamburg days
"can't buy me love" was recorded on 29 january 1964 at emi's pathe marconi studios in paris, france, where the beatles were performing 18 days of concerts at the olympia theatre. at this time, emi's west germany branch, odeon, insisted that the beatles would not sell records in any significant numbers in germany unless they were actually sung in the german language and the beatles reluctantly agreed to re-record the vocals to "she loves you" and "i want to hold your hand" prior to them being released in germany. george martin travelled to paris with a newly mastered rhythm track for what was to be "komm, gib mir deine hand". "sie liebt dich" required the beatles to record a new rhythm track as the original two-track recording had been scrapped. emi sent a translator to be present for this recording session which had been hurriedly arranged to tie in with the beatles' paris commitments. this was accomplished well within the allotted studio time, allowing the beatles an opportunity to record the backing track, with a guide vocal, to the recently composed "can't buy me love". at this stage the song included background vocal harmonies, but after listening to the first take, the band concluded that the song did not need them. therefore, "can't buy me love" became the first single the beatles released without their characteristic background harmonies.
