In late December 1969, Paul McCartney began recording new material using a Studer J37 4-track tape recorder that had recently been installed at his home in London. In early January 1970, he took part in the final Beatles sessions. After a last day of work at home on his solo project on January 17, he moved to EMI Studios, Abbey Road, on January 24 to prepare rough mixes of the material completed so far. He returned to EMI for additional sessions on February 7 and 8.
Before heading back to the studio on February 15, Paul, Linda, and their daughters Heather and Mary took a short family trip through the south of England, visiting Bournemouth, Torquay, St. Ives, and Sidmouth. One of the aims of the journey was to scout for a new home “in the heart of the country,” as Linda had described it to a real estate agent back in September 1969.
