Baby's in Black

Baby's in Black is a song by The Beatles, written by both John Lennon and Paul McCartney and originally released in the United Kingdom on Beatles for Sale on December 4, 1964, and in the United States on Beatles '65.

George Harrison recorded the guitar parts with John Lennon knelt down in front of him, twiddling his volume knobs to get a "wobbly" sound. In 1965, Harrison would buy a Vox "Wah-Wah" pedal, which would produce the same effect.

In 1996, a live version recorded at the Hollywood Bowl on August 30, 1965, was released as the B-side to "Real Love."
