About
The Beatles had started recording “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey” on June 26 and 27. On this day, from 7 pm to 4:30 am, they added more overdubs to take 8 of the song. Paul McCartney recorded his bass part.
The bass part Paul overdubbed on was good. Clearly he was still determined to do his best, no matter what was going on between him and John.

Two reduction mixes were then made, creating take 9 and take 10. John Lennon then added his vocals on take 10 (those vocals would be replaced during the July 23 session).

The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions • Mark Lewisohn
The definitive guide for every Beatles recording sessions from 1962 to 1970.
We owe a lot to Mark Lewisohn for the creation of those session pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - the number of takes for each song, who contributed what, a description of the context and how each session went, various photographies... And an introductory interview with Paul McCartney!
The fourth book of this critically acclaimed series, "The Beatles Recording Reference Manual: Volume 4: The Beatles through Yellow Submarine (1968 - early 1969)" captures The Beatles as they take the lessons of Sgt. Pepper forward with an ambitious double-album that is equally innovative and progressive. From the first take to the final remix, discover the making of the greatest recordings of all time. Through extensive, fully-documented research, these books fill an important gap left by all other Beatles books published to date and provide a unique view into the recordings of the world's most successful pop music act.
If we like to think, in all modesty, that the Paul McCartney Project is the best online ressource for everything Paul McCartney, The Beatles Bible is for sure the definitive online site focused on the Beatles. There are obviously some overlap in terms of content between the two sites, but also some major differences in terms of approach.
