About
Came March 1969 and The Beatles or EMI were keen to release a new single (their last one was “Hey Jude / Revolution” released in August 1968).
Why did we spring “Get Back” on the public so suddenly? Well, we’d been talking about it since we recorded it, and we kept saying “that’s a single”. Eventually we got so fed up talking about it, we suddenly said: “O.K. That’s it. Get it out tomorrow”.
John Lennon – From New Musical Express, March 3, 1969
On this day, four mono mixes of the song “Get Back“, recorded during the “Get Back” sessions in January 1969, were made, and acetates were cut for the group to listen to.
New mono mixes would be made on April 3 and yet again on April 7, before the UK release on April 11, 1969.
