Fact #180800
When:
Short story:
With Phil Spector as producer, The Plastic Ono Band (featuring John Lennon of The Beatles) record Instant Karma in EMI’s Abbey Road Studios, London, England, UK, Europe.
Full article:
George Harrison : Phil was around. If you remember, he was brought into London by Allen Klein when we had done what became the Let It Be record.
I was with Phil one day on my way to Abbey Road to do Instant Karma, so I made Phil go with me and that’s how he got to do that record as well. That is how we first started working with him.
George Martin (record producer) : It wasn’t until after Abbey Road was finished that Paul rang me one day and said John had taken the Let It Be tapes to America and done all the things I hadn’t been allowed to do. He overdubbed voices, he put on heavenly choirs, all sorts of things. It could have been a better record.
Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) : It's a very interesting song, really original in John Lennon's later style using a lot of echo and all that kind of stuff that he started using during the '70s.
