50th anniversary of Nick Sand being arrested for his Fenton, Missouri LSD lab. I'm still not 100% sure if the Fenton facility was just a tableting facility for the St Louis lab or if it was an actual second lab. Different articles about the bust seem to point in different directions.

I moved this from the 1/18 TIPH thread. It was early…
January 19, 1967 - the Beatles began recording “A Day in the Life” at Abbey Road.

You are correct, Outlier.
Quote:
Recording: A Day In The Life Thursday 19 January 1967 Studio
Studio Two, EMI Studios, Abbey Road Producer: George Martin Engineer: Geoff Emerick
The Beatles began work on the finale of their Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album on this day, recording four takes of ‘A Day In The Life’.
For this session only it had the working title In The Life Of…, and the group began by rehearsing with John Lennon on piano, Paul McCartney playing an organ, George Harrison on an acoustic guitar and Ringo Starr playing congas. These rehearsals were recorded but later wiped.
For the four proper takes, Lennon sang a guide vocal onto track four while his acoustic guitar, McCartney’s piano, Harrison’s maracas and Starr’s congas were taped together onto track one. Onto take four Lennon added two vocal overdubs onto tracks two and three, with some piano licks by McCartney on the latter.
There was so much echo on A Day In The Life. We’d send a feed from John’s vocal mic into a mono tape machine and then tape the output – because they had separate record and replay heads – and then feed that back in again. Then we’d turn up the record level until it started to feed back on itself and give a twittery sort of vocal sound. John was hearing that echo in his cans as he was singing. It wasn’t put on after. He used his own echo as a rhythmic feel for many of the songs he sang, phrasing his voice around the echo in his cans.
Geoff Emerick The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn
The Beatles were unsure what they wanted to fill the two bridge sections with, so had Mal Evans count out 24 bars. At the end of the first sequence an alarm clock was set off. The clock later provided the perfect introduction to McCartney’s vocal passage.

The Bears words of wisdom is an interesting PDF where he details his strict carnivore diet and why he believes in it. Worth a read, easily found online.
