An effort at writing 'It Won't Be Long' — same ilk. C to A minor, C to A minor with me shouting.

—John Lennon, The Playboy Interviews, 1980

Another long and productive day. First song was 'Any Time At All,' John belting out the vocal. Seven takes of the basic rhythm track and John's first vocal were attempted but a suitable middle eight had yet to be worked out and the song was left until later to see what might evolve.

—Mark Lewisohn, The Beatles Recording Sessions, p.44, 1988
