Master release
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 February 26 and 28, he was back at Morgan Studios with engineer Robin Black to mix the last tracks for the upcoming “McCartney” album.
On March 7 and 8, Paul and Robin Black held the last mixing session at Morgan, preparing rough mixes of the leftover material from the album sessions.
