Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!

1:05 • Outtake • C • Takes 1 and 2. The recordings presented here come from that initial Abbey Road session, 17 February 1967, when the Beatles cut seven takes, beginning with the above dialogue that introduced Take 1, and the performance that followed and immediately broke down. Then there is Take 2, which also broke down, and the ensuing conversation wherein Paul offered John some direction.

Paul McCartney : Bass Ringo Starr : Drums John Lennon : Lead vocals George Harrison : Tambourine George Martin : Harmonium, Producer Geoff Emerick : Recording engineer

SessionRecording : Feb 17, 1967 • Studio : EMI Studios, Studio Two, Abbey Road

2:34 • Outtake • D • The next cut, Take 7, formed the basic for the eventual master (which was Take 9), opening with George Martin encouraging the Beatles to perform, and then pumping away at the harmonium which he played on the track. Near to the end, this recording is crossfaded with an organ and calliope effects tape, prepared on 20 February, that formed part of the final master but is clearer in this new mix.
