About

On this day, from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, a rough mono mix of “Two Of Us” (recorded on January 31, 1969) was made to cut an acetate disc, to be given by Paul McCartney to Apple-signed American group, Mortimer.

Mortimer would record the song late April 1969, but the recording would only be released… in 2017!

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!

Shop on Amazon

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.
