Recording Session

Backdated, archival post

---&---

Some of the recording dates listed in the Zombie Heaven liner notes are just the month and year, so sometime this month fifty years ago, it seems that the Zombies recorded demos for "Whenever You're Ready," "You'll Go from Me" (later released as "Don't Go Away"), "I Know She Will," and "I'll Keep Trying."

I'm fairly certain that this session was before the 24th because that's when they recorded the final versions of "Whenever You're Ready," "Don't Go Away," and "I'll Keep Trying."  (A final version of "I Know She Will" wasn't recorded until 8 July.)

In the track-by-track section, the Zombie Heaven liner notes list "April or June 1965" as the recording dates for the demos of "Whenever You're Ready" and "You'll Go from Me," but in the chronology section, it has all four demos listed under "?-6" (sometime in June).

The demos of "Whenever You're Ready" and "You'll Go from Me" are on the third disc of Zombie Heaven, but the demos of "I Know She Will" and "I'll Keep Trying" are bonus tracks on a re-issue of Begin Here.  It doesn't make sense to me that they're split up, but at least they were all released.
