Some of the songs worked on during this session were first released on the "Abbey Road" LP.
The backing track of “Oh! Darling” had been recorded on April 20, 1969, and overdubs had been added on April 26. On this day, from 2:30 pm to 7 pm, three attempts at creating a stereo mix for this track were made.
Those mixes would remain unused, as Paul McCartney would re-record his lead vocals a number of times in July 1969.

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 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.
