Mixing: With The Beatles album

Studio Three (control room), EMI Studios, Abbey Road
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Norman Smith

In 1963 stereo was secondary in importance to mono, which is why George Martin was able to hurriedly mix every track from With The Beatles for stereo in a three-hour session.

Interestingly, Martin worked on the songs in the order that he’d devised for the album’s tracklisting: It Won’t Be Long, ‘All I’ve Got To Do’, ‘All My Loving’, ‘Don’t Bother Me’, ‘Little Child’, ‘Till There Was You’, ‘Please Mister Postman’, ‘Roll Over Beethoven’, ‘Hold Me Tight’, ‘You Really Got A Hold On Me’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’, ‘Devil In Her Heart’, ‘Not A Second Time’, and ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’.

Only the latter song required more work, which was carried out on the following day.
