This is the last of the songs recorded at the 8 July 1965 session. (Last in my recordings, at least; I don't know the order the Zombies recorded them in.)
"I Love You" demonstrates an-other benefit of my recording the catalogue every year: it indicates which songs I've neglected. A few days ago, I learned most of the bass part, but before that, I didn't know any parts to "I Love You." I can play the riff, but that's as it appears ("sounds," I guess) in the more recent live versions, not as it is on the original record. The chords are in the book I have by the Alfred company, but I'm going to wait on including those until I learn that original riff.
I did notice some interesting things about the bass part though: it starts with a falling fifth (from E to A), which is the same beginning (even the same notes) that "She's Not There" has. And like "I Remember When I Loved Her" and "Time of the Season," the bass part is more involved during the electric piano solo, which is why my version isn't complete: I haven't learned the part during the solo yet.
