ON THIS DAY IN 1969, ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE BEATLES MET UP AT EMI STUDIOS FOR THE LAST TIME
The band at the time had some internal animosity and no actual music was recorded on the day. They did however work on the mixing for “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” for their Abbey Road album.
The group also worked on the sequencing for the album, deciding to change the ordering of the tracks and reverse the sides before the final master was set 5 days later.
The Beatles did meet at Abbey Road again, but with a vacationing Lennon not joining them or appearing on the song. Within a year of this final Abbey Road meeting, the final touches would be put on the last-ever Beatles session.
