On 22 April 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono had recorded the track John And Yoko, which which became side one of their Wedding Album.
The track had been mixed at the end of the session, but another attempt was made during this session, which lasted from 2.30-4.15pm.
This wasn’t the final mix, however. The heartbeats were re-recorded on 27 April, and the track was finally completed on on 1 May 1969.
