About
The previous day, The Beatles had recorded the basic track of “Polythene Pam / She Came In Through The Bathroom Window“ (the two songs were recorded as one track) and the first overdubs.
On this day, from 2:30 pm to 8 pm, they added more overdubs. Ringo Starr added tambourine, cowbell and maracas. George Harrison added some electric guitar, John Lennon some acoustic guitar. Paul McCartney recorded some double-tracked lead vocals.
Mark Lewisohn indicates an electric piano and an ordinary piano were also added. However, those are not heard on the final result.
At the end of the session, a reduction mix was made, which was numbered take 40.
The Beatles would add the final overdubs to “Polythene Pam / She Came In Through The Bathroom Window“ on July 30.
