Full article:
George Harrison : I became his record producer purely because I happened to walk in the room one day. And it happened to be me who walked in the room, and he was somebody - a few people have been saying, "Oh, y'know, Jackie should record", and all that.
I thought, 'Yeah', I remembered him from years ago, and he could do with recording and all that. And I put it off because I was going to India, and when I came back, I just happened to walk in the room and there he was, and so people had been sort of asking me to do something. So I just said, "Yeah, okay." And we did it. And then it comes out like I'm committed, as if I'm gonna be his record producer for life. But, y'know, he knows about that, we talked about that. And, y'know, in the end he should do his own thing, and he will.
Geoff Emerick (Abbey Road sound engineer) : Clapton (Eric Clapton) came in to do the solo, and the amount of gap we'd left wasn't quite long enough for the solo that Clapton had done. So what we did, we played the four track and he played the solo. We recorded the solo on a stereo machine. When we came to do the mix we just injected the solo into the mix on the stereo machine.
