Trident Studios, 28th August 1968. The Beatles returned to Trident Studios in London's Soho district, where they had previously recorded the song "Hey Jude" on this day to begin work on the "White Album" song "Dear Prudence". Ringo Starr was not present, as he had walked out of the group on 22nd August 1968. The remaining Beatles elected to continue without him, and so decamped to Trident for its eight-track recording facilities. The Beatles opted to record the song track-by-track, wiping each previous attempt until they had a satisfactory version, meaning that the result was a solitary take with numerous layers. The basic track was recorded on this day, with John Lennon and George Harrison's fingerpicked acoustic guitars, and Paul McCartney's drums.

  • Actually, Ringo returned to the band for the filming of the 'Hey Jude'-clip. After this, they all listened to the tapes they'd recorded the previous day. Ringo decided to overdub some drums onto the final part of this song, coming in with the cymbal crash at 2'43".

  • Paul on Drums and Bass. Talk about talent. I love that picture of them.

  • FANTASTIC FAB FOUR!
