Beatles - A Day In The Life (Lead Vocal Track)

Interesting things:

-There’s an incredible amount of headphone bleed

- Sounds like Lennon and McCartney are sharing the same vocal booth

- Piano is shared with main vocal track (:55. 1:10)

- Fantastic sounding tape delay in countdown (1:50) and last verse (3:20)

- JL hums along with PM (2:42)

- I think you can hear Lennon laugh around 2:48

- Beautiful artifacts of linear recording (3:19)

- “A Day In The Life” was recorded on a 4-track Studer J37.

Deconstructing Beatles recordings is endlessly fascinating to me.

I love that he listens to this with such a different perspective than I would, this is amazing.
