The Beatles - A Day in The Life: August 25, 1969

Today was the final studio session for the Abbey Road album - final edits of two songs, plus some unused recordings.

The session was from 2.30-8pm in Studio Two. Beginning in the control room, seven seconds were edited from the master tape of Maxwell's Silver Hammer, to remove the song's introduction.

The End was the next song to be edited.  Various sound effects were also recorded for Maxwell's Silver Hammer during this session, but they were never used.

At the end of the day with Abbey Road finally complete, the creation of a safety copy was made. Both he master and the copy were then taken away by balance engineer Geoff Emerick, who gave them to Malcolm Davies to be cut to disc at Apple. The album was the first UK one to not be cut at EMI by Harry Moss.
