AlbumSome of the songs worked on during this session were first released on the "Let It Be (Limited Edition)" LP
On this day, Apple employee Malcolm Davies created new stereo mixes of George Harrison’s “For You Blue“.
The intent of this session is not clear. Glyn Johns’ latest attempt to create the “Get Back” LP was rejected by The Beatles, and those mixes were not used to improve that album. They were not used for the “Let It Be” album neither, and would finally remain unreleased.

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
