In late December 1969 and on January 17, 1970, Paul McCartney began recording new material using a Studer J37 4-track tape recorder that had recently been installed at his home in London. Believing these experiments could evolve into his first solo album, he moved to EMI Studios, Abbey Road, to continue the work. He spent time there on January 24, February 7 and 8 and again on February 15.
From February 16 to February 20, Paul relocated to Morgan Studios, where he continued recording the album. On February 21, 22, 24 and 25, he returned to EMI Studios.
On this day, February 26, he was back at Morgan Studios with engineer Robin Black to mix three tracks for the upcoming “McCartney” album: “Junk,” “Teddy Boy,” and “Kreen Akrore.”
Two days later, they returned to mix “Oo You,” the final song to be mixed for the album. A last mixing session on March 7-8 was dedicated to creating rough mixes of the leftover material from the album sessions.
