59 takes were recorded of "Gonzales", but take 58 was chosen as the master.
Slightly straying off topic, is it so that a 59th take was attempted? If the information in the Vic Rust discography is reliable, the 1997 compilation, The Shadows at Abbey Road, features take 57 and following studio chat, with the final 58th take being issued on the eponymous first album.
