About

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.
