In this video we document that record's history from it being written on the tour bus, to the recording and mixing sessions and hear what song from Rubber Soul nearly replaced it. We look into the confusion surrounding the McCartney/Lennon credit and also cover the recent discoveries of live shows recorded a week before the single's release. We also find out why the song flopped in the U.S. and of course tell you what we think it the best sounding pressing. All that and more in this packed video!
