"Your Mother Should Know" is a song by The Beatles from their 1967 record "Magical Mystery Tour", released in the U.S. as an LP on 27 November, 1967 and in the UK as a double-EP on 8 December, 1967. It was written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney).cite book |author=Barry Miles |title=Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now |year=1997 |pages=355 |publisher=Henry Holt & Company |location=New York |isbn=0-8050-5249-6] cite book |author=David Sheff |title=All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono |year=2000 |pages=198 |publisher=St. Martin's Press |location=New York |isbn=0-312-25464-4] McCartney said he wrote it as a production number for the movie "Magical Mystery Tour", supporting an old-fashioned dance segment that starts with the Beatles coming down a grand staircase in white tuxedoes. After they descend, boy scouts, RAF cadets and other groups march through. John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr are wearing red carnations, while McCartney's is black. The carnation difference contributed to the "Paul is dead" controversy.cite book |author=Barry Miles |title=Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now |year=1997 |pages=356]

Recording

The song was recorded in three sessions on 22 August, 16 September, and 29 September, 1967. The remake from 16 September was left unused, and overdubs layered on the best take from 22 August.cite book |author=Mark Lewisohn |title=The Beatles Recording Sessions |year=1988 |pages=122, 126, 128 |publisher=Harmony Books |location=New York |isbn=0-517-57066-1] Mixing didn't go any smoother, with sessions on 29 September, 30 September and 7 November 1967.cite book |author=Mark Lewisohn |title=The Beatles Recording Sessions |year=1988 |pages=128, 130]

The 22 August session took place at Chappell Recording Studios because Abbey Road Studios was unavailable that night. The remaining sessions were all at Abbey Road.cite book |author=Mark Lewisohn |title=The Beatles Recording Sessions |year=1988 |pages=122] It was during the Chappell Studio sessions that manager Brian Epstein made his last visit to a Beatles recording session before his death.
