About
This was the third of four days spent at Olympic Sound Studios. During the first two days, The Beatles worked on “Something” and on “You Never Give Me Your Money”, songs which would be released on the “Abbey Road” album.
For this third day, from 8 pm to 7:30 am, they returned to the “Get Back” LP project, to continue the mixing work started in March. Engineer/producer Glyn Johns intended to leave some bits of studio chatter on some of the tracks. The purpose of this session was to add in some snippets of speech and song from other takes. This work would continue on May 9.
About Glyn Johns’ “Get Back” compilations
A few months after the end of the “Get Back” sessions, engineer/producer Glyn Johns was given the task of compiling an actual album. Glyn made four different variants of the album, two of them having been considered for release at some point.
