The Beatles will release an unreleased recording of "Day Tripper", a 1965 song, as part of an expanded special edition of the "Rubber Soul" album. The release is scheduled for October 2nd and will include album classics like "Drive My Car", "Michelle", and "In My Life" in original and remixed versions, as well as unreleased takes and home demos.
One of the highlights is the unreleased working version of "Day Tripper", before it received the classic riff that would define the song. The recording was called "Day Tripper (Songwriting Work Tape)" and represents a rare glimpse into the creative process of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
The version shows the duo developing the song together at Lennon's home in Weybridge, in the county of Surrey, England, being an important record of the partnership between the two musicians. The recording reveals what the collaborative songwriting process of the Beatles was like during the period of recording the album.
