About
This was the last Beatles session of the year and a session without any Beatle and without George Martin.
In this session lasting from 10 am to 1 pm, engineer Geoff Emerick and second engineer Graham Kirkby created the stereo mixes of four songs for the “Yellow Submarine” soundtrack album.
“Only A Northern Song” was mixed in mono on April 21, 1967. To come up with this mono version, the engineers had the challenging task of combining two different takes by manually syncing the two four-track tapes. On this day, they didn’t want to go through this complex task again and opted to create a mock stereo mix.

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.
