Their article on the song has it correct, but if you search that site for 26 Jan it mentions IK! for that day too.

McLennonSon - what's your source? It's the third time I've heard this claimed today, and I don't know where it comes from. Instant Karma! was written and recorded on 27 January 1970, not the 26th.

Oh, I didn't know. My source was from the website "This Day In Music".
