The Beatles
On August 14, 1964, during the recording sessions for Beatles for Sale, the Beatles recorded five takes of "Leave My Kitten Alone", adding overdubs to the last take. The song was never mixed and was not included on Beatles for Sale. Take 5 was marked as the best take (only takes 4 and 5 exist, 4 being a false start).
The song was remixed in 1982 by the late John Barrett in preparation for The Beatles at Abbey Road, a video presentation shown as part of a public tour of the Abbey Road Studios the following year.(RM '82). The song was again remixed in 1984 by Geoff Emerick in preparation for the unreleased Sessions project (RM/RS '84). In 1994 George Martin remixed the song yet again, this time for the Anthology project (RM/RS '94)
The song was planned as the promotional single for the unissued 1985 album Sessions, which like the later Anthology series was to include previously unreleased Beatles material.
