On this Day October 12, 1965

Working on their next album Rubber Soul at Abbey Road Studios London, The Beatles recorded Run For Your Life in its entirety, in 5 takes. (Lennon later admits to lifting two lines from Elvis Presley's 1955 hit Baby Let's Play House). And another new Lennon song This Bird Has Flown, later known as Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). The track included George Harrison's double-tracked sitar part, the first appearance of that Indian instrument on a pop record.
