EMI's 8-track recording equipment is now installed in the studio, but only because The Beatles had "liberated" it from a technical expert's office (an action which nearly resulted in the firing of engineer Dave Harries, who assisted in the matter).

Tuesday, September 4, 1962: The Beatles' first formal recording session at EMI's Abbey Road studios. George Martin did not consider any of the recordings from June 6 to be good enough for commercial release, so he called The Beatles back into the studio to try again. They rehearse six songs, including "Love Me Do" and "Please Please Me", and two of the songs are picked for recording: "Love Me Do" and Mitch Murray's song "How Do You Do It". The Beatles are unhappy with recording Murray's song, which they had rearranged from the original demo that George Martin had sent them. However, Martin is insistent, and they do record the song. An unknown number of takes of "How Do You Do It" are recorded, but over 15 takes of "Love Me Do", with Ringo Starr drumming, are taped. Mitch Murray is notified the next day that his song will be released by The Beatles, but he will be told later that things have changed (when "Love Me Do" and then "Please Please Me" are chosen over "How Do You Do It"). The song will eventually be given to Gerry & the Pacemakers, who will use The Beatles' arrangement in their recording of it, and they will reach #1 on the charts with it. The Beatles' recording of "How Do You Do It" is included on "The Beatles Anthology 1" (Disc 1, Track 23).

For "Hey Jude", The Beatles are accompanied by a 36-piece orchestra and 300 fans and other assorted extras who join in singing the long refrain. "Hey Jude" is broadcast on September 8 for UK television, in black and white, on the ITV program "Frost on Sunday". It is re-shown on "Top of the Pops", twice (Sept. 12 and 26).

Thursday, September 5, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Recording overdubs onto "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Friday, September 6, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Overdubs are recorded onto "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", bringing the song to conclusion. Perhaps the most prestigious outside musician to play on a Beatles recording is in the studio with them. Eric Clapton records a guitar solo onto George's song.

The Beatles performed their first and only concert in Montreal. Which Beatle was accompanied onstage by a bodyguard because he was receiving death threats? Ringo Starr. When the Fab Four arrived in Montreal on the morning of September 8, they learned from local papers that death threats were being made against Ringo. "Some people decided to make an example of me as an English Jew," recounted Ringo in The Beatles Anthology. "The one major fault is, I’m not Jewish."

From Montreal The Beatles were scheduled to fly to Jacksonville, Florida. However, "Hurricane Dora" was heading straight for Jacksonville, so The Beatles were diverted to Key West. In an amazing display of resourcefulness, hundreds of screaming fans greeted The Beatles at Key West, even though no announcement had been made of the flight change. "Hurricane Dora" did indeed strike Jacksonville, causing a tremendous amount of damage.

Friday, September 8, 1967: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Three, EMI Studios, London). Recording the song "Flying" (under the working title "Aerial Tour Instrumental"). This is The Beatles' first instrumental track, and the first song credited to all four Beatles: Harrison-Lennon-McCartney-Starkey. The song at the end of this session is quite different from the released version. It originally ended with a jazzy saxophone solo copied from an unknown source. On take six, three separate organ parts are recorded and then played backwards onto different tracks. Then, John adds a mellotron track and the four Beatles overdub a scat chant.

Tuesday, September 10, 1963: The newspaper with the world's biggest circulation, Britain's "Daily Mirror", publishes a two-page feature article about The Beatles. Written by writer/columnist Donald Zec, the feature is entitled "Four Frenzied Little Lord Fauntleroys Who Are Earning 5,000 Pounds A Week" (which was an overstatement about how much money The Beatles were bringing in at the time). Zec, who had attended a Beatles performance in Luton on Sept. 6 and then invited them to his home to complete the interview, referred to The Beatles' haircuts as "A stone-age hair style". The article provided a ":major boost to their career" (Bill Harry).

Saturday, September 10, 1966: The Beatles' LP "Revolver" reaches #1 in the US charts.

I Love You" and 18 takes of "Love Me Do" are recorded, along with an unknown number of takes of "Please Please Me". George Martin suggests that "Please Please Me" could be improved with increased tempo and tight vocal harmonies. "Love Me Do" is selected to be The Beatles' first A-side, with "P.S. I Love You" on the flip side (a reversal of the original plan). The single is issued on October 5, and it features a Sept. 4 version of "Love Me Do" (Version I) that has Ringo on drums. The album "Please Please Me", however, includes Version II, with Andy White on drums. One of this recording session's takes of "Please Please Me" is included on "The Beatles Anthology 1" (Disc 1, Track 24).

Wednesday, September 11, 1963: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI's Abbey Road studios, London).

The day before, John and Paul had given the song "I Wanna Be Your Man" to the Rolling Stones, who recorded it for a single which made it into the Top 20.

Friday, September 11, 1964: The Beatles, on tour in America, perform at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. The Beatles had refused to perform until they received an assurance from the local promoter that the audience would not be segregated by race. Unfortunately, due to the extensive damage that had been caused in Jacksonville by "Hurricane Dora", 9,000 of the 32,000 persons who had purchased tickets for The Beatles' concert were unable to make it to the show.

Saturday, September 11, 1965: "Help!" is the #1 single in the US for the second week in a row.

Monday, September 11, 1967: Filming begins for "Magical Mystery Tour". The entire project is poorly planned, poorly directed, and pretty chaotic all around. There is no script, nor a very clear idea of exactly what is to be accomplished, not even a clear direction about where the bus is supposed to go. Things go wrong from the very start. The bus, being decorated in its magical psychedelia, is two hours late, leaving the assembled passengers and film crew cooling their heels. The bus finally heads into the West Country, with Paul the only Beatle on board. The first stop is at Virginia Water, Surrey, to pick up John, George, and Ringo. During the day filming proceeds inside the bus and at the day's lunch stop, the Pied Piper restaurant in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Everything is ad-libbed. Late in the evening, the bus stops for the night in Teignmouth, Devon (183 miles from London). Four hundred fans, who'd gotten wind of The Beatles' plans, greet them at their hotel. Later, Paul conducts a spur-of-the-moment press conference, making vague comments about The Beatles' vague filming plans. After squabbles break out amongst the bus passengers (over who is going to room with whom), The Beatles recognize that some order must be maintained. Paul, John, Neil Aspinall, and technical director Peter Theobalds meet to roughly define what they hope to accomplish the next day (they will do this every evening for the rest of the trip).

Wednesday, September 11, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Recording "Glass Onion" (34 takes).

Saturday, September 12, 1959: The Quarry Men perform at the Casbah Coffee Club, West Derby, Liverpool.

Thursday, September 12, 1963: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). More work on their 2nd album, "With the Beatles"--additional takes of songs that they'd previously recorded. They tape 10 takes of "Hold Me Tight", which they'd initially recorded on February 11 for their first album, but those earlier takes had not been satisfactory. The Beatles then record 10 takes of "Don't Bother Me", 16 takes of "Little Child", and six takes of "I Wanna Be Your Man".

Saturday, September 12, 1964: The Beatles, on tour in the USA, perform at Boston Garden, Boston, Massachusetts.

Sunday, September 12, 1965: The Beatles' album "Help!" reaches #1 in the US.

Tuesday, September 12, 1967: Filming continues for "Magical Mystery Tour". The bus heads for Widecombe on the Moor, where a local fair is being held and where The Beatles hope to get some productive shooting accomplished. The bus driver (Alf Manders) takes a shortcut to bypass the heavy traffic, but ends up stuck on a bridge, causing a traffic jam. The coach ends up having to drive in reverse for a half-mile before it can turn around; the trip to Widecombe is dropped, disappointing the many local fans who'd gotten wind of The Beatles' planned visit and gone to the fair. Meanwhile, the bus heads for lunch in Plymouth, tailed by a 20-car convoy of journalists and photographers. On to the town of Bodmin, where the bus stops for shooting of the scene where Jolly Jimmy Johnson the Courier (played by Derek Royle) comes onto the bus and welcomes everyone to the Magical Mystery Tour. Finally, the bus travels to Newquay, its stop for the night. Indeed, The Beatles, passengers, and film crew will stay here for three nights, having decided it would be wiser to work from an established base than go gallivanting around the countryside.

Thursday, September 12, 1968: A promotional video of The Beatles performing "Hey Jude" is broadcast on UK television, on the BBC1 program "Top of the Pops".

Wednesday, September 13, 1967: Filming continues for "Magical Mystery Tour". A scene with Aunt Jessie and Buster Bloodvessel is filmed in the morning, at Tregurrian Beach. In the afternoon they split into two groups. John directed a scene he'd thought of: Happy Nat the Rubber Man chases bikini-clad young women (and it was cold, too!) around the Atlantic Hotel's outdoor swimming pool. However, this scene is not used in the completed movie. Paul and Ringo are with the other group, filming a scene where Ringo and Aunt Jessie have an argument. They also did some filming on the beach at Porth. Meanwhile, George Harrison stayed at the hotel and recorded a lengthy radio interview.

Thursday, September 14, 1967: Filming continues for "Magical Mystery Tour". The Beatles search for a quiet, secluded field in which they can conduct filming. But once they'd disembarked from the bus and set up for shooting, scores of onlookers began to crowd around, causing a traffic jam that required the police to step in. Meanwhile, two sequences are filmed at this location. One shows George, wearing an oversized blue jacket, sitting in a cornfield and meditating (the scene is not used in the final film). The other, in a Mack Sennett type of scene that is one of the more notable in the film, shows The Beatles and their passengers crowding into a tiny tent (after all, the tour IS magical, you know). The bus group's lunch is filmed, too, but nothing useful comes out of it. The one thing that wasn't filmed was when Paul, Ringo, and Neil Aspinall went to a local pub (in the town of Perranporth) to meet the vacationing Spencer Davis. Paul played the pub piano, leading a sing-along that included (in the words of journalist Miranda Ward, who was there) "every pub standard [except] "Yellow Submarine", which he refused to play".

Saturday, September 14, 1968: The Beatles' single "Hey Jude/Revolution" reaches #1 in the UK charts.

During the performance a group of fans managed to break through the line of police fronting the stage and get up on-stage. Police ordered The Beatles off-stage in the middle of a song, and the concert only resumed after Derek Taylor got on the public-address system and pleaded for order to be restored so that the rest of the performance would not be cancelled by the police.

Friday, September 15, 1967: Filming continues for "Magical Mystery Tour". Lunch is at James and Amy Smedley's fish and chip shop in Taunton, Somerset. The Beatles are filmed and photographed eating their fish and chips, the resulting photos being widely published (although the filmed portion was edited from the finished movie). In the afternoon, heading for home at week's end, filming aboard the bus continues with the shooting of the accordionist Shirley Evans leading the passengers in gay tunes such as "Toot Toot Tootsie" and "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along". The first week's filming done, everyone heads for home.

Monday, September 16, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). George Harrison was absent from this recording session. Paul, John, and Ringo record "I Will" (67 takes). Paul sings and plays acoustic guitar, Ringo plays maracas and cymbals, and John taps out a beat with wood on metal. Between takes, Paul sings several ad-lib bits, one of them the "Can you take me back where I came from, can you take me back?" piece that is inserted after "Cry Baby Cry" and before "Revolution 9" on "The Beatles". Two recorder bits are overdubbed onto "Glass Onion". During the recording of "I Will", Paul, joined by John and Ringo, performs a jam version of his song "Step Inside Love", which evolves into the impromptu "Los Paranoias". "Step Inside Love/Los Paranoias" is included on "The Beatles Anthology 3" (Disc one, Track 23). Also included on "Anthology 3" is Take 1 of "I Will" (Disc one, Track 25).

Thursday, September 17, 1964: The Beatles, on tour in the USA, perform at Municipal Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri. This would become known as the "extra" show, because Kansas City Athletics (baseball team, now in Oakland) owner Charles Finley paid The Beatles $150,000 to add a Kansas City concert to their tour. The Beatles added the song "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey" to their song list, with the Kansas City audience being appropriately delighted. As in Cleveland, The Beatles had to leave the stage in mid-concert until the audience calmed down (somewhat). After The Beatles left Kansas City, the manager of their hotel sold their bed linen to two Chicago businessmen for $750. Unlaundered, the sheets and pillow cases were cut into three-inch squares; each square was mounted on a card, packaged with an affidavit of authenticity, and sold for $10 each. (The towels with which The Beatles had mopped their faces after their Hollywood Bowl concert had been similarly cut up and sold. Hotels also received requests for the Beatles' bathwater and used shaving foam).

Tuesday, September 17, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Overdubs bring "I Will" to completion.

Wednesday, September 17, 1969: Release in Sweden of Beatles LP "Abbey Road" (Apple).

Friday, September 17, 1999: The United States Postal Service (USPS) issues a postage stamp honoring The Beatles. The 33-cent stamp includes the words "The Beatles" and a picture of the yellow submarine, as depicted in the animated motion picture "Yellow Submarine", on a blue background (pictures/photos of living persons are never placed on postage stamps in the United States). The issue of the stamp is announced at a "first day of issuance" ceremony held at the Hard Rock Café in Denver, Colorado. The stamp is one of 15 postage stamps issued to represent the 1960's as part of the USPS continuing series "Celebrate the Century". All 15 stamps were selected by nationwide (US) balloting conducted in May 1998.

Shooting the sequence where The Beatles and the tour's other male passengers watch Jan Carson strip topless to the accompaniment of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, who play the song "Death Cab For Cutie". Knowing that the scene as it was filmed would certainly be censored by the BBC, The Beatles will edit the finished film so that the word "CENSORED" is plastered over Carson's bare breasts.

Wednesday, September 18, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Complete recording of "Birthday", from start to finish. After taping 20 takes of the backing track, The Beatles, along with Yoko Ono, Pattie Harrison, and Chris Thomas, leave the studio and go to Paul's house to watch the classic rock and roll film "The Girl Can't Help It" on BBC2. After that they go back into the studio and record the overdubs for "Birthday". Mal Evans gets into the act, adding handclaps, and Yoko and Pattie contribute backing vocals.

Tuesday, September 19, 1967: The Beatles, who had neglected to book a stage at Shepperton Film Studios in advance, are unable to find any sound stage for the completion of filming for "Magical Mystery Tour". They book West Malling Air Station, Maidstone, Kent, to serve as their filming location. This site was used by the United States Army Air Force during World War II as a base for American warplanes. The base features 32 concrete blast walls that were built to protect the American planes from enemy bomb blasts. The Beatles will film here for six days, staying in a nearby hotel at night. Interior scenes are shot in an enormous, empty hangar: the "Magician's Laboratory", the "Aunt Jessie's Dream" sequence (where a grinning John Lennon heaps piles of spaghetti onto the table while Buster Bloodvessel attempts to console the distraught Jessie), George's "Blue Jay Way" sequence (where he 'plays' a chalked keyboard), and the "Your Mother Should Know" ballroom finale. The one interior sequence shot elsewhere on the site was the "Army Recruiting Office" bit, which stars Paul as Major McCartney and Victor Spinetti (who'd been in both "A Hard Day's Night" and "HELP!") as the Recruiting Sergeant. Exterior scenes shot over the six days of filming include the fabulous "I Am the Walrus" sequence.

Thursday, September 19, 1968: A promotional video of The Beatles performing "Revolution" is broadcast on UK television, on the BBC1 program "Top of the Pops".

Thursday, September 19, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studios Two/One, EMI Studios, London). Recording "Piggies". The Beatles move from Studio Two to Studio One to take advantage of a harpsichord that had been set up for a classical music recording session the following morning. George Harrison asks Chris Thomas to play the harpsichord, since Thomas had studied at the Royal Academy of Music, and Thomas does so. During the session, George plays for Thomas a new song of his, "Something". Originally George intended to offer the song to Jackie Lomax, but he instead ended up giving Joe Cocker first use of it (and helped Cocker to record it). However, The Beatles' own version of "Something", recorded after Cocker's recording of it, would be released two months ahead of Cocker's much-delayed record.

Sunday, September 20, 1964: The Beatles finish up their tour of the USA with a charity performance at the Paramount Theater in New York City, New York. The concert is in aid of the United Cerebral Palsy of New York City and the Retarded Infants Services. Attendance is 3,682, with ticket prices going as high as $100 each, a remarkable amount in 1964. The Beatles are disgusted at having to use one of the worst amplification systems they'd ever had to use, and tempers flare in the audience between screaming teenagers and well-dressed socialites. The Beatles and other artists performed for no fee. That night on US television, The Beatles' second live appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show", broadcast on February 16, is re-broadcast on Sullivan's show.

Friday, September 20, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). "Piggies" is completed with the overdubbing of George's lead vocal and a tape loop of pigs grunting and snorting--created by John Lennon from the Abbey Road tape library: 'Volume 35: Animals and Bees" (John adds a few grunts and snorts of his own, too).

Monday, September 20, 1976: The ex-Beatles are asked in the press to perform a reunion concert for charity, the would-be promoters claiming that $230 million could be raised.

Friday, September 21, 1962: The Beatles perform at the Tower Ballroom, New Brighton, Wallasey. Five groups appear in celebration of Rory Storm's birthday.

Monday, September 21, 1964: The Beatles, their first American tour now history, fly back to England. One thing that had appalled The Beatles at several of the US concerts was the wheeling of disabled persons into The Beatles' dressing rooms to meet them and receive their magical touch. To The Beatles, their tour consisted of a blur of newsmen, policemen, flight crews, local officials and social climbers, disabled fans, promoters, and the great faceless, screaming mass of their audience. The personal interaction with their fans that they so treasured was gone, and the constant tension that surrounded them was barely endurable. In Las Vegas they'd had to play under the pall of a bomb threat. An astrologer predicted that The Beatles' plane would crash en route from Philadelphia to Indianapolis, with no survivors. Also, tour-hopping from city to city was not a big problem in Britain, but criss-crossing the wide expanses of the USA proved to be a real strain. The next tour would be planned with a great deal more care.

Monday, September 21, 1987: US re-release of Beatles album "Magical Mystery Tour" on CD (Capitol). The entire CD is in stereo. The original 1967 vinyl LP included three songs in "electronically reprocessed" (that is, fake) stereo: "Penny Lane", "Baby, You're a Rich Man", and "All You Need is Love".

Monday, September 21, 1987: UK re-release of Beatles album "Magical Mystery Tour" on CD (EMI).

Monday, September 25, 1967: Editing begins for "Magical Mystery Tour". The Beatles have reckoned on one week for film editing, but it will end up taking 11 weeks, largely due to The Beatles' differing preferences. Starting with roughly ten hours of film, the final movie will be 52 minutes long, causing a number of scenes to be dropped in their entirety, one of them being a bit with the rock group Traffic performing "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush". The location for editing is Norman's Film Productions, Old Compton St., London.

Monday, September 25, 1967: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London).

Thursday, September 26, 1968: The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios, London). Looking for a better ending for "Glass Onion", John Lennon prepares a tape of sound effects that includes a ringing telephone, an organ note, BBC-TV soccer commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme shouting "It's a goal!", and the sound of a window being smashed. This tape will not be edited onto the released version of "Glass Onion", which contains a string part instead (suggested by George Martin). A mono mix including John's effects tape was released on "The Beatles Anthology 3" (Disc one, Track 20).

Then The Beatles move to Studio Three, starting at 7:00 pm and not ending until 3:30 am. They work with 16 singers from the Mike Sammes Singers (8 male and 8 female), getting them to sing odd bits such as "Ho-ho-ho, He-he-he, Ha-ha-ha", "Oompah, Oompah, stick it up your jumpah!", and "Got one, got one, everybody's got one". The singers also record a series of shrill whooping noises. Before the end of the session, Paul records another vocal onto "The Fool on the Hill".
