Timeline

Master release

AlbumSome of the songs worked on during this session were first released on the "The Beatles (Mono)" LP

Following a 24-hour session on October 16 and 17, the stereo and mono versions of the White Album were finalized. On that day, an hour (from 12 pm to 1 pm) was spent to correcting some flaws in the mono version. Engineer John Smith was the only one present in the studio.


From beatles-chronology.ru – Letter from Ken East to Allen Stagg: “Copy: to Mr. George Martin, Mr. R. N. White.” The Beatles.” This will confirmed my verbal permission to supply two sets of the Stereo version of the Beatles new LPs (PCS 7067/8) to Paul McCartney and John Lennon.”

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.
