Notes: This day began with an hour-long session in which Paul McCartney recorded a demo of his song "Come And Get It" for the group The Iveys, who later became Badfinger.

McCartney recorded the basic track on piano in a single take, as well as live vocals. John Lennon was present in the studio
control room, and the balance engineer was Phil McDonald.

The piano and vocals were recorded to tracks one and two of the eight-track tape. McCartney then double tracked his vocals and played maracas on track three.

Drums were added next, to track four, and finally came a bass guitar part on track five.

The song was given a single stereo mix, all within the hour before George Harrison and Ringo Starr arrived at Abbey Road.
