The stereo mix of “Revolution 9” was completed on June 25. Given that the complex stereo mix could not be replicated for a mono version, it was decided to produce a direct copy of Remix Stereo 2 by merging both channels.
A first attempt, Remix Mono 1, was made on August 20.
The final mono mix, which appeared on the White Album, was made on this day in a session from 4 pm to 5 pm, without any of the Beatles or producer George Martin present. It was designated as Remix Mono 2.

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.
