Original Genuine 7” 2 sided Emidisc Acetate

One Side

THE BEATLES DAY-TRIPPER with additional MARR and DAVIES written on Label

Other Side

THE BEATLES WE CAN WORK IT OUT with the addition of MARR on the label

We Can Work It Out was released as a double a-side single with Day Tripper in December 1965. It was recorded during the sessions for the Rubber Soul album, and released on the same day.

Recorded over two days in sessions amounting to 11 hours – The Beatles' longest time spent completing a song to date – We Can Work It Out bore the distinctive hallmarks of both its songwriters.

Day Tripper was originally intended to be The Beatles' final single of 1965. However, We Can Work It Out was felt by the group and Brian Epstein to be the more commercial song.

Lennon disagreed, and fought to retain Day Tripper as the lead song. The result was the single being marketed as the world's first double a-side, which was released on 3 December in the UK – the same day as Rubber Soul; and three days later in the US

Condition very good. Some surface scuffing as expected for an acetate of 53 years old but only played once to check and plays with no jumps or scratches
