Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Geoff Emerick
The Beatles began studio work on ‘Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey’.
The group had begun a new way of working for the White Album, in which they would often rehearse a song multiple times, with the tape machines running throughout, and would then treat the best as a proper take. They would then overdub onto the rehearsal to create the final recording.
‘Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey’ was rehearsed on this evening, in a session running from 7pm to 3.30am. The song had the working title ‘Unititled’, and numerous takes were recorded. None of them were usable, however, and The Beatles started afresh on the following day.
