"Savoy Truffle" still needed some finishing touches. A saxophone overdub was recorded and distorted in the control room by George Harrison. The six saxphonists were Ronnie Ross and Bernard George (George baritone). Art Ellefson, Danny Moss, Harry Klein and Derek Collins (tenor). The session then continued for another 12 hours mixing "Piggies", "Don't Pass Me By" and "Good Night".

The session began with a stereo and mono mixing of"The Contin uing Story Of Bungalow Bill" and "Long, Long, Long".

Why Don't We Do It In The Road was completed the next day, when Ringo Starr recorded a drum part, and McCartney added more vocals, bass guitar and handclaps.

A very productive session, with two John Lennon songs, "I'm so Tired" and "The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill" were started and completed. George's "Long, Long, Long" also received overdubs.

Bungalow Bill was a free-for-all with everyone in the studio shouting out the choruses. Yoko sang one line solo, the first and only female lead vocal on a Beatles recording. Maureen Starkey, Ringo's wife, was also one of the assembled chorale.

Today's session was spent recording the basic track of another new song by George, "Long, Long, Long". In what was becoming a familiar pattern with George's songs, John was not present for the session.

The earlier part of the session was spent making tape to tape copies of the Trident mono and stereo mixes for "Honey Pie" and "Marsha My Dear" and preparing mono/stereo mixes for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
