1965: Paul McCartney and Jane Asher holiday in Tunisia
04 February 1968- The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Three, EMI Studios, London). Recording “Across the Universe”. When John and Paul decide the song needs some falsetto harmonies, they invite two girl fans into the studio to sing on the song. The two girls are Lizzie Bravo, a 16-year-old Brazilian temporarily living near Abbey Road and 17-year-old Londoner Gayleen Pease. The Beatles’ “Anthology 2” has a take recorded on this date, one without the girls’ vocals (Disc 2, Track 20). [Note: the “Anthology 2” booklet gives the date of the recording as February 3, but this appears to be an error. Mark Lewisohn, Bill Harry, and Allen Weiner all give February 4 as the correct date]. After the girls leave the studio, The Beatles record overdubs of unusual effects. One, called “Hums Wild”, features 15-seconds of layered humming recordings. Another effect tape is a guitar piece which, along with a third harp-like sound tape, is intended to be played backwards for overdubbing onto “Across the Universe”.
