"You Can't Do That" was recorded on Tuesday, 25 February 1964, in EMI Studios in London. An early take with a guide vocal is included on "Anthology 1". It was the first song completed in the week before the Beatles began filming "A Hard Day's Night", though "I Should Have Known Better" and "And I Love Her" were also started on the same day. Whilst in New York for "The Ed Sullivan Show", guitarist George Harrison was presented with a Rickenbacker 360 Deluxe electric 12-string guitar worth (in 1964) $900. Only the second one produced, it was recorded for the first time on "You Can't Do That" and gave the song its distinctive chiming sound. The song was first released as the B-side of the "Can't Buy Me Love" single on 16 March 1964 in the United States by Capitol Records and on 20 March 1964 in the United Kingdom by Parlophone. It was the Beatles' seventh US single and sixth UK single. It was later included on the "A Hard Day's Night" album in the UK, and "The Beatles' Second Album" in the US. The Beatles were filmed miming to "You Can't Do That" as part of the final concert sequence in the "A Hard Day's Night" film. The filming took place on 31 March 1964 at the Scala Theatre in London, but was not used. It was, however, broadcast on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on 24 May. The performance is included in the documentary "The Making of "A Hard Day's Night"". The Beatles recorded "You Can't Do That" four times for BBC radio in 1964. It also became a part of the group's live repertoire that year, and was the second song in their set—after "Twist And Shout"—during their Australian and North American tours. According to Mark Lewisohn's book "The Beatles Recording Sessions", George Martin overdubbed a piano track to Take 9 on 22 May 1964, ostensibly for the album version of this song, but it was never used. "You Can't Do That" was covered by Harry Nilsson for his debut album "Pandemonium Shadow Show" (1967). Nilsson re-arranged the song making it somewhat slower. He also worked references to 18 other Beatles tunes in the mix, usually by quoting snippets of Beatles lyrics in the multi-layered backing vocals. The track was Nilsson's first hit as a performer; though it stalled at #122 on the US charts, it reached the top 10 in Canada.
