About
Paul McCartney had tried recording “Every Night” the day before but decided to record it again on this day at EMI Studios.
The version recorded on this day would be mixed the following day, for inclusion on his debut solo album, “McCartney“.
‘Every Night’ (Blues). This came from the first two lines, which I’ve had for years. They were added to in 1969 in Greece (Benitses) on holiday. This was recorded at EMI with:
1. vocal and
Paul McCartney, from the press release of “McCartney”, April 1970
2. acoustic guitar
3. drums
4. bass
5. lead guitar (acoustic)
6. harmony to the lead guitar
7. double-tracked vocal in parts

Accompanied by photos, and drawing on interviews and contemporary reviews, this reference book draws the portrait of a musical craftsman who has elevated popular song to an art-form.
