This was the second consecutive stereo mixing session for the Sgt Pepper album, and saw four songs completed.
It began with work on ‘Getting Better’, which was mixed in a single attempt. ‘She’s Leaving Home’ proved more problematic, and took six attempts before a satisfactory mix was achieved.
‘When I’m Sixty-Four’ was next, and was mixed in one attempt. The final song to be remixed was ‘Lovely Rita’. Two stereo mixes were made, the second of which was used on the Sgt Pepper album.
The final task of the session was an edit of ‘She’s Leaving Home’, after which the song was complete.
