Books like Drugs, Divorce and a Slipping Image (Ray Schweighardt and Doug Suply) and 'the 910's guide to the beatles outtakes part 2, the complete get back sessions' (Doug Sulpy) exhaustively detail the Get Back Sessions (the 910 detailing material that had been unavailable for 'Drugs Divorce…' and correcting details that were incorrect due to nagra tapes not being available earlier). For a complete insight into the sessions you would need both.

This is an area where Lewisohn is even wrong. I don't have Sessions (came out before my birth and is currently OP), but I don't care much for his entries about the Get Back sessions in Chronicle.

Thanks, Mr. Sun King... I appreciate the prompt response! I was wondering, just out of curiosity, where you got that information? {...} Not trying to be difficult, just curious.

Actually, on the most takes of January 27 (27 from here on), they missed the ending.  They didn't have it on the "master" on 27 (Take 11), but it was in the song at that time. They then tried to get the song great with a coda, but none of the recordings matched the best of 27.

Not trying to be difficult, just curious.

• Sessions is 25 years old (almost). The research is also old. 
• As much as I respect Lewisohn, he is human.

He botched it. It's The majority Jan. 27, with the 28th yielding the coda. They weren't happy with the coda recorded on the best take of the 27th, so they tried the whole song again the next day. When they heard the original single mix, they didn't like it, and Paul and Glyn Johns remixed it for single release, editing the two best takes and creating the effect they desired, but could never achieve, in the basement of Apple.

My name's Warren and I'm a Beatles fan from the U.S. (Virginia). I "discovered" the Fab Four through Anthology (which was released when I was a junior in high school) and they've been my favorite band ever since (that's a VERY condensed version of my Beatles story. More later… perhaps). Although I appreciate every phase of the Beatles' fantastic career, I've always had a fascination with the Get Back sessions, and as such, I have a few technical questions (well… actually one for now I suppose) for anyone who feels they can *correctly* provide an answer. I apologize if I've posted this in the ...]]> Mon, 19 Sep 2011 21:27:13 +0100
