AlbumSome of the songs worked on during this session were first released on the "Revolver (UK Mono)" LP
This was the 26th day of the recording sessions for the “Revolver” album.
The previous day, The Beatles had started recording the George Harrison-penned song, “I Want To Tell You“, under the working title “Laxton’s Superb“.
On this day, they completed the recording of this track, by adding Paul McCartney’s bass part onto take 4. The working title changed during that session, from “Laxton’s Superb“ to “I Don’t Know“.
Four mono mixes were then created, with ADT (artificial double-tracking) applied to George’s lead vocals and the handclaps played by the four Beatles. Remix Mono 1 was deemed the best and released on “Revolver“.
“I Want To Tell You” would be mixed in stereo on June 21, 1966.
“Yellow Submarine” had been recorded on May 26, 1966, and June 1. The first mono mix had been created on June 2. On this day, five mono mixes were created, with Remix Mono 5 considered the best. RM5 was released on “Revolver“.
“Yellow Submarine” would be mixed in stereo on June 22, 1966.
This session, which started at 7 pm, ended at 2:30 am.

The second book of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC)-nominated series, "The Beatles Recording Reference Manual: Volume 2: Help! through Revolver (1965-1966)" follows the evolution of the band from the end of Beatlemania with "Help!" through the introspection of "Rubber Soul" up to the sonic revolution of "Revolver". From the first take to the final remix, discover the making of the greatest recordings of all time.
Through extensive, fully-documented research, these books fill an important gap left by all other Beatles books published to date and provide a unique view into the recordings of the world's most successful pop music act.
If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
