That's where I got mine. It's a completely AWESOME book. You can probably order it on the Abbey Road website if they still have the cafe's page up there.

Looks like they ARE enforcing the no graffiti rule now. Man, bummer.

Fader 4: (Bass Drum) D19 C
Fader 5: (Guitar) U67
Fader 6: (Guitar) U67

Premix 3: (Drums) D19 C
Premix 4: (Drums) KM56

Hmm, those D19s are all over Ringo's kit. Never seen a (Sony?) C38 in any of the session pictures either, so that's another surprise. Guess those Ebay prices are gonna skyrocket again, chuckle...

That'd be two "synched" EMI 1" four tracks, right?

You wouldn't need to sync them as you'd be bouncing from one machine to the other. There was no syncronization technology available in 1967 of which I'm aware.

They did it by hand

Like I said, BY HAND.

I mean, why else would they need eight frigging faders?

For four tracks...

You can do maths, right?

Wait...

This was during the mixdown, right?

Ah! I was thinking this had something to do with Sgt Pepper's. That's the only Beatles LP you Yanks ever talk about right?

Anyhoo, I found this

1968 will be remembered as a year of technological change, pioneered largely due to the creative demands of The Beatles Sergeant Pepper album. Acutely aware of the limitations which four track recording imposed, Ken Townsend invented a system whereby two four track machines could be linked together, ADT. The progression from four track to eight track was followed just as quickly by the introduction of 16 track and 24 track, all of which involved the use of EMI consoles which became the backbone of Abbey Road’s multitrack recording, which revolutionised the way records could be made from here on in.

Nope. It's the session sheet written by the balance engineer after, presumably, setting up the mics for a recording session. It's not the track list on the tape box.

Gotcha.

I misremembered the synching two four tracks thing. I'd had images in my head of a couple of lab coated engineers physically slowing down and speeding up the tape.

As far as I can remember from reading the Lewisohn "Sessions" book, the only time two 4-tracks were synced for use simultaneously during the Pepper sessions was during the orchestral overdub for "Day In The Life". Everything else was still pretty much reduction mixes from 4-track to 4-track.

It was around long before '68.
