Note 2nd Engineer Alan Parsons - - as in "The Alan Parsons Project". Very interesting career. I knew he had worked for the Beatles but wasn't aware of all his other stuff:
Studio 3. 2.30-7.00pm. Recording: `Here Comes The Sun' (overdub onto take 15).. Studio 2. 7.00pm-12.30am. Recording: `Something' (overdub onto take 36, tape reduction into takes 38, 39). Producer: George Martin; Engineer: Phil McDonald; 2nd Engineer: Alan Parsons.
