AlbumSome of the songs worked on during this session were first released on the "Let It Be (UK - 1st pressing with "Get Back" book)" LP
Glyn Johns had recently mixed George Harrison’s “For You Blue” for his latest attempt to assemble a LP from the January 1969 “Get Back” sessions.
On this day, Apple employee Malcolm Davies created new stereo mixes of the song.
The purpose of this session remains uncertain, as these mixes were neither used to update Johns’ version nor included on the “Let It Be” album. In the end, they remained unreleased.

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 Beatles Recording Reference Manual: Volume 5: Let It Be through Abbey Road (1969 - 1970)
The fifth and final book of this critically acclaimed series, "The Beatles Recording Reference Manual: Volume 5: Let It Be through Abbey Road (1969 - 1970)" follows The Beatles as they "get back to where they once belonged...". Not once, but twice. With "Let It Be", they attempted to recapture the spontaneity of their early years and recordings, while "Abbey Road" was a different kind of return - to the complexity, finish and polish that they had applied to their work beginning with "Revolver" and through to "The Beatles".
If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
