Studio Two, EMI Studios, Abbey Road
Producer: Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney’s third Abbey Road session for his debut solo album, McCartney, saw mixes made of two of the songs.
Hot As Sun had been recorded at Morgan Studio, London earlier in February 1970. It was remixed in stereo in the first of two sessions, and a copy of the best mix of ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ made on 22 February.
After a break he remixed ‘Every Night’ once again, making the previous Sunday’s mixes surplus to requirements.
The sessions took place from 10am to 1pm and 3.30-6.15pm. As with all the Morgan and EMI sessions for the album, it was booked under the pseudonym Billy Martin.

Great record.
Paul is in studio two from 3:30-6:15pm, and Ringo is in studio one from 3:30-7:15pm on the same day. I know very little about how much one studio knows about what is going on in another studio at the same time, but it appears to me that Paul was living a bit dangerously if he did not want the others and Apple to know what he was up to.
