    • Recording

    • Recording 
        • Completed – “Can’t Buy Me Love” (overdubbing vocals and guitar)
        • Started – “And I Love Her”
        • Started – “I Should Have Known Better”
        • Worked on – “You Can’t Do That”
    • The Beatles celebrate George Harrison’s 21st birthday
    • Gifts/fan mail: Received 52 mail sacks with around 30,000 birthday cards; fans sent thousands of symbolic 21st birthday keys — plus an unusual gift of a full six-foot-high double door (delivered by seven girls from Hove) to “unlock” them.
    • Morning: George’s mother Louise called from Liverpool at 12:10am (exact birth time) to sing “Happy Birthday”; he laughed, mistaking her for a U.S.-style birthday operator at first.
    • Evening: Private party in an upstairs room at The Ivy restaurant in London.
      • Brian Epstein gave George a gold cigarette lighter.
      • Guests included The Beatles (John, Paul, Ringo), George Martin, Dick James, Jane Asher, Cilla Black, and Cynthia Lennon.
      • Menu: Turtle soup, smoked salmon, Chateaubriand steak.
    • Press scoop (from Derek Taylor’s Fifty Years Adrift): Taylor leaked the title ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ (misreported as “Money Can’t Buy Me Love”) in a story, scooping rivals for front-page coverage. This annoyed Brian Epstein, George Martin, and Paul (the song’s writer). Minor tension blew over after an apology.
    • The other three Beatles didn’t send cards (“We’re not sentimental people,” George said); it was treated as a normal working day amid Beatlemania frenzy.
