I’m Happy Just to Dance With You (original stereo studio mix)
~ Recording by The Beatles
Annotation
The rushed atmosphere on this marathon eleven-hour session resulted in a stereo mix of “I'm Happy Just To Dance With You” with an overly emphasized Arabian drum overdub from Ringo, which unfortunately comes across unnaturally loud. However, this is the stereo mix made available around the world in 1964.
