About

On this day, from 5 pm to 3 am, The Beatles completed “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey“. John Lennon recorded a new lead vocal on Take 10, replacing the vocal recorded on July 1.

As usual, John was wanting his voice to sound different. He would say, ‘I want to sound like somebody from the moon’ or anything different. ‘Make it different!’ And at that time there wasn’t the range of instant effects available today.

Five attempts at a mono mix were then done. But the final mono and stereo mixes would be made on October 12.


Good night” had been recorded the day before, and on this day, six attempts at a mono mix were made. They were not deemed good enough as the final mono and stereo mixes would be made on October 11.
