About
This was the fifth day of work for Phil Spector on the “Get Back” tapes recorded in January 1969.
On this day, he created a 16-second tape loop from the instrumental break in George Harrison’s “I Me Mine“, onto which were overlaid pieces of dialogue from people on the street commenting on the rooftop performance recorded on January 30, 1969. The idea was finally rejected.
The only idea from this day released on the “Let It Be” album is the addition of a spoken introduction by John Lennon, “Queen Says ‘No’ to Pot-Smoking FBI Member“, to introduce “For You Blue“.
Phil Spector continued his work on the “Let It Be” album on April 1, 1970.

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!
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.
