While The Beatles were on tour in Denmark, George Martin oversaw a mixing, editing and overdub session at EMI Studios, for songs for the A Hard Day’s Night LP and the Long Tall Sally EP.

The session took place from 2.30-7pm. It began with mono mixes of ‘Long Tall Sally’, ‘Matchbox’, and ‘I Call Your Name’. Two mixes of ‘I Call Your Name’ were made, which were then edited together.

Martin then overdubbed a piano part onto The Beatles’ cover version of Larry Williams’ ‘Slow Down’, and made a mono mix of the song.

More mono mixes followed, of ‘When I Get Home’, ‘Any Time At All’, and ‘I’ll Cry Instead’. The latter song had been recorded in two parts on 1 June 1964, and were edited together once the mixes were complete.
