When:

Short story:

The Beatles are in EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London, UK, working on the songs, Matchbox, I'll Cry Instead, Slow Down and I'll Be Back.

Full article:

Carl Perkins : Nothing was said about recording my songs. Then, all of a sudden, when we were playing in the studio, kicking around on some of the old stuff, George Martin said, 'Are we ready to go?' And Ringo cut out on Honey Don't. It was a magic time.

George Martin (producer) : The great thing about Slow Down was John's voice, which is still a knockout, a very good sound. The actual recording was rather primitive. The backing of that is quite tame.

Matchbox has another Chuck Berry guitar solo. Whenever we had a rock and roll song, we said, 'George, you've got eight bars. Play. Then out you go.'
