"You Know What to Do" was one of the first songs written and recorded by George Harrison with the Beatles. It was recorded on 3 June 1964 (see 1964 in music) but does not appear on any album except 1995's ''Anthology 1'' release (see 1995 in music). == Background == During a photographic assignment on the morning of 3 June 1964, Ringo Starr was taken ill with tonsillitis and pharyngitis, 24 hours before the Beatles were due to leave for a six-country tour. The original session booked for that day was cancelled so that a replacement drummer, Jimmie Nicol, could be brought in and rehearse with the band. After running through six songs in a one-hour rehearsal in Abbey Road Studio Two, everyone felt satisfied with Nicol's drumming, so he left to pack his suitcase. That evening, in a four-hour session in Abbey Road Studio Two, each of the three present Beatles recorded a demo of a newly written song. Harrison recorded "You Know What to Do"; John Lennon did "No Reply", which eventually ended up as the opening track of their next album ''Beatles for Sale''; and Paul McCartney did "It's for You", a song which was written specifically for Cilla Black to sing. The tape of the session was subsequently misfiled, but was re-discovered in 1993. After ''Anthology 1'' was released, Harrison was asked about the song but he said he did not even remember its existence. Harrison's first contribution to the Beatles' output was "Don't Bother Me", recorded 11–12 September 1963. His next contribution was not until "I Need You", recorded 15 February 1965. Asked about this gap, in ''The Beatles Off the Record'' in 1965, and referring obliquely to "You Know What To Do", George Martin explained that Harrison "got discouraged some time ago when none of us liked something that he had written". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You Know What to Do」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
