About
On this day, from 2:30 pm to 10:45 pm, overdubs were added onto “Come Together” and “Sun King / Mean Mr. Mustard“.
“Come Together“, recorded on July 21, 22, 23 and 25, received some additional guitar parts in the instrumental section as well as during the chorus of the song. It is not precisely known if those were played by George Harrison or John Lennon.
“Come Together” would receive its final overdubs the next day, on July 30.
Additional vocal harmonies were then added to “Sun King“, George Martin recorded an organ overdub to the song’s chorus, and Ringo Starr added maracas to the final verse.
On “Mean Mr. Mustard“, John and Paul double-tracked their vocals, and Ringo added a tambourine.
At the end of this session, the recording of “Sun King” and “Mean Mr. Mustard” was completed.
