| 29.
March 1967 -
EMI Studios - Recording "Mr.
Kite" (overdubs) and "With a little help from my friends" |
| The
day started with a jam session, John and Paul on guitars and Ringo
on drums. |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
| The
only photos of Paul with guitar, so maybe it comes from the jam session.
Ringo seems to hold a tape-recorder, he played a demo of a song of
his after the "Kite" overdubs. |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| As
John played guitar during the jam as well as during the rehearsals
for "With a little help..." the first photo might come from
either. John shows the hand-sprayed back of his guitar. |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Paul
taking photos. John on guitar and Ringo on drums. While Ringo played
the same the same instrument during the proper takes of "With
a little help..." but John didn`t I assume this is from the jam. |

 |
|
| I
believe these two photos belong together. Paul wears John`s hat |
Ringo
in conversation with the women from the teenage magazine? |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
| What
are they looking at? Guitar? Harmonica? |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| "Being
for the benefi..." receives overdubs: "a swirling organ"
by GM and (according to Winn) simultaniously another harmonica overdub,
this time by John and George. Photo 2 and 3 might be the same. |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
| These
photos could be related to the "Kite..." overdub or to proper
takes of "With a litlle help...", where GM also played organ.
Notice the hat in the second photo. |

This
second photo could be an excerpt of the first one or the one that
is shown in two versions below. |
|
| John
leaned his guitar to the chair and moved the second piano a bit futher
away to play it. They might record a rehearsal (headphones + open
piano lids) George is chatting in the background. |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
| A
alternate shot and a excerpt of it - look at John`s hands to spot
the difference. |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
|
| Not
sure about the sequence. Piano lids open, chair with John`s guitar
gone, he is the only wearing headphones, having taken it off in the
second photos (but you can still see the cable), Ringo stands. |
|
| |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
| No
more headphones, no chair with guitar, Ringo stands, lids open. I
wonder how George Martin liked to see the drink-carton on the top
of the piano, looking like it might fall into it any moment. |
