Notes: This day`s session began with Paul McCartney finally recording the lead vocals for "Oh! Darling".

McCartney had been arriving at the studio early each day for several mid-July 1969 sessions, in an attempt to capture a suitably
raw take. He taped just one performance on each day before setting "Oh! Darling" aside for another day. On this afternoon, however, the final attempt was recorded.

More vocals were then added to "Come Together", before work began on "The End", which at this stage had the working title "Ending".

The Beatles began by rehearsing the song a number of times, before recording seven takes of the backing track. The best, take
seven, was "1 20" long, but was later extended by editing and repeating part of the section which later contained the sparring guitar solos.

This is home of John arriving for this recording session.
