Fact #169119

When:

Short story:

While working on Hey Jude, The Beatles record in Trident Studios, St Anne's Court, London, England, UK, Europe, for the first time. The bill for use of the studio between 2pm and 4am comes to £416.

Full article:

Ken Scott (engineer) : They wanted to move from 4-track to 8-track and Trident was the first independent studio in England to have an 8-track.

Paul McCartney : Ringo walked out to go to the toilet and I didn't notice. The toilet was only a few yards from his drum booth, but he'd gone past my back and I still thought he was in his drum booth. I started what was the actual take – and Hey Jude goes on for hours before the drums come in – and while I was doing it I suddenly felt Ringo tiptoeing past my back rather quickly, tryig to get to his drums. And just as he got to his drums – boom, boom, boom – his timing was absolutely impeccable.
