Room 4, EMI Studios, Abbey Road
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Geoff Emerick
Rough stereo mixes of two songs recorded for Ringo Starr’s debut studio album, Sentimental Journey, were made on this day.
‘Stardust’ had been recorded on 7 and 14 November, and the backing track for ‘Dream’ had been taped on the latter date.
Since ‘Dream’ had not been completed by this date, the mixes were for reference and playback purposes only. Geoff Emerick created them during this mixing session, which lasted just half an hour.
