Abbey Road Studios, 30th March 1965. After an initial attempt at recording "That Means A Lot" on 20th February 1965, The Beatles returned to Abbey Road to remake the song. At this stage they intended to featured it on the "Help!" soundtrack, although it the song remained unreleased until 1996's "Anthology 2". Two takes of "That Means A Lot" had been recorded in the February session. On this evening The Beatles recorded five more, numbered 20-24, although 22-24 were incomplete. The session lasted from 7-10pm. The remake was faster than the earlier version, with a more straightforward backbeat from Ringo Starr and a guitar part by George Harrison which 'answered' the vocal melody. Unlike the previous attempt, however, the 30th March recordings were not remixed for mono or stereo, indicating that The Beatles never felt it was of sufficient quality for release. This day's attempts have never been officially released.
This truely is a wonderful song!! I wish they released it on the Help album. Would've been a hit for sure.

Paul McCartney has such dulcet tones. Why on earth was this not included on an album? Paul McCartney has a beautiful voice.
