About
This was the ninth day of the recording sessions for the “Revolver” album.
On April 17, 1966, The Beatles started recording John Lennon’s track “Doctor Robert“. All instruments were recorded at the end of this session. On this day, from 2:30 pm to 10:30 pm, they completed “Doctor Robert” by recording all the vocals.
John Lennon added his lead vocals to Take 7, and backing vocals were added by John, Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
Three mono mixes were then made, making use of ADT (artificial double tracking) applied to George’s guitar and John’s vocals. However, none of those mixes would be released. “Doctor Robert” would be mixed in mono on May 12, 1966 (for its US release) and on June 21 (for its UK release), and in stereo on May 20.
