Take 2 is a 6:36 performance.
This was recorded live without overdubs and some instruments are hidden in the background.
The take 2 that surfaced is in very poor quality although it's found on stereo on some bootlegs.
A complete take.

Rehearsal

SS.ETC.10.Reh
The Beatles
Before recording the two takes of 12-Bar Original, The Beatles rehearsed the whole song and taped it.
The two takes were recorded over the rehearsal and we only have about 1:50 left of the end of the rehearsal.
This is a rehearsal that was found on the same tape as the two first takes.
In fact, the first takes were recorded over the rehearsals and this is what remains of these rehearsals.
