I started last July 1 with the 'Beatles recording on this date' project and it has come full circle.
This could not have been done if it where not for the great book by Mark Lewisohn, "The Beatles Recording Sessions" as this has been excerpts from that fine book.
I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have. Thanks for tuning in.

June 30: No recording on this date.

June 29: No recording on this date.

June 28:
1968 - Studio Two: 7.00pm-4.30am. Recording: 'Untitled' (working title of 'Good Night') (takes 1-5).
There were two sides to John Lennon. On the one he
was the composer and singer of 'Revolution' and '
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And
My Monkey'. On the other he was the writer of tender
ballads like 'Good Night' and 'Julia'. The recording of 'Good Night' began during this
session, although it was clear from the outset that John,
though the composer, was handing over the lead
vocal to Ringo, whose doleful, plaintive voice suited
the song's mood to perfection. 'Good Night' was a
children's lullaby, pure and simple, written for a fiveyear-
young Julian Lennon. Rehearsals and early takes
— just John on acoustic guitar, Ringo on vocals —
emphasised this, each one opening with an unscripted
but positively charming spoken preamble by Ringo,
along the lines of "Come on children! It's time to toddle
off to bed. We've had a lovely day at the park
and now it's time for sleep." Or, "Put all those toys
away. Yes, Daddy will sing a song for you!" Or, "
Cover yourself up, Charlie. Pull those covers up and off
you go to dreamland!"

June 27:
1968 - Studio Two: 5.00pm-3.45am. Recording: 'Untitled' (working title of 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey') (takes 1-6, tape reduction take 6 into takes 7
and 8, overdub onto take 8).
Six takes of the rhythm track for this still untitled
gobbledegook Lennon rocker, the song by the end of the
session included drums, two different lead guitars, a
vigorously shaken hand-hell and a chocalho.

June 26:
1967 - Studio Two (control room only): 2.00-5.00pm. Mono mixing:
`All You Need Is Love' (remixes 2-10, from take 58).
Mono remixing for the rush release of `All You Need Is
Love' as a worldwide single.
196 - Studio Two: 7.00pm-3.30am. Recording: 'Untitled' (working title of 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey') (rehearsal only).
The Beatles, chameleon-like from album to album,
and with time aplenty on their hands. discovered for
themselves a new method of working for The Beatles:
rehearse and rehearse and rehearse, with everything
recorded, but then — in most instances — instead of
spooling back to record proper over the rehearsals,
treat the rehearsals themselves as the recordings, all
takes numbered. Then, in the familiar fashion, go
hack to the best basic version and start the process of
overdubbing and tape reduction mixdowns. On this night the Beatles set about the basic rhythm
track rehearsal/recording of a new John Lennon song,
untitled at present but very soon to become no less than '
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And
My Monkey'.

June 25:
1967 - Studio One: 2.00pm-1.00am. Recording: `All You Need Is Love' (takes 48-50; BBC rehearsal takes 1-3; takes 51-53; takes 54-58 [58 being live BBC broadcast]; overdub onto take 58).
The Beatles spent much of the day perfecting the song
and rehearsing for the BBC cameras set up in studio one. Take 58 was the all-important broadcast version,
although George Martin greatly decreased the chance of
an on-air foul-up by having the Beatles play to their own
pre-recorded rhythm track of take 10. Only the vocals,
bass guitar, the lead guitar solo in the middle eight,
drums and the orchestra were actually live.
The pre-taped rhythm made up track one of the four-track
tape. Onto track two went the bass, lead guitar solo and
drums, track three the orchestra and track four the vocals.
1968 - Studio Two (control room only): 2.00-8.00pm. Stereo mixing: 'Revolution (remixes 8-12, from take 22). Editing: 'Revolution 9' (of remix stereo 2). Tape
copying: 'Revolution 1' (of remix stereo 12); 'Revolution 9' (of edit of remix stereo 2).
'Revolution 1' and 'Revolution 9' were completed during
this session.

June 24:
1967 - Studio One: 5.00-8.00pm. Recording: 'All You Need Is Love' (takes 44-47 as overdub onto take 10).
Just one day from The Big Event – and to prove the
point the Beatles and Abbey Road threw open the
usually firmly-closed studio doors to more than 100
journalists and photographers. But afterwards the Beatles and
orchestra settled down in studio one to make some
additions to the 'All You Need Is Love' rhythm track,
made especially important by a late decision – on this
day, in fact! – to issue 'All You Need Is Love' as a
single after the television broadcast.

June 23:
1967 - Studio One: 8.00-11.00pm. Recording: 'All You Need Is Love' (tape reduction of take 10, takes 34-43 as overdub onto take 10).
