A day of overdubs onto three Abbey Road songs: ‘Come Together’ and ‘Sun King’/‘Mean Mr Mustard’.
A guitar overdub was added to the solo section of ‘Come Together’, and vocals, piano, organ and percussion were overdubbed onto ‘Sun King’/‘Mean Mr Mustard’.
More overdubs were added to ‘Come Together’ on the following day. Recording for the other two songs, however, was complete by the end of this 2.30-10.45pm session.
