The Beatles - Something/Jam (EMI Take 37)

Abbey Road Studios, 11th July 1969. Overdubs were added onto three "Abbey Road" songs during this 2.30pm-midnight session. Attentions then returned to "Something", which had been started in May 1969 but left unfinished. On this day Harrison recorded his lead vocals, which he double-tracked in the choruses. The eight-track tape was now full, so a reduction mix was required to allow for further work on "Something". This mix was numbered take 37, and combined the piano and lead guitar onto track one, and both vocal tracks onto track seven. Otherwise the recording was unchanged: drums remained on track two, bass guitar was on five, rhythm guitar was on track six, and Billy Preston's organ part was on eight. Tracks three and four were left clear for the time being. Harrison re-recorded his vocals later that week, however, rendering this reduction mix unnecessary. Four rough stereo mixes were also made during this session.

@SirBrianCabrera This picture is taken during the "Abbey Road" sessions, between April and August 1969. George played John's Casino during the rehearsals, I wonder.

I think they should have used the "Remember" jam on the album - just for the way it comes out of nowhere and dramatically changes the mood.

Only trouble is, John probably wouldn't have finished the song the following year if they'd already used the riff.
