Studio 2 (control room only). 5:15-6:00pm. Mono mixing: "The Night Before" (from take 2); "You Like Me Too Much" (from take 8).

Studio 2. 6:00-10:30pm. Recording: "If You've Got Trouble" (take 1); "Tell Me What You See" (take 1-4). Producer: George Martin; Engineer: Norman Smith; 2nd Engineer: Ken Scott.

1st use (on "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away") of an outside musician---excepting Andy White---: Johnnie Scott (tenor and alto flutes).

The Beatles recorded three songs on this day, two of which ended up on the Help! album. The other was unreleased until 1996's Anthology 2. Mono mixes were also made of six recently-recorded songs.

The day began at 10am in the control room of Studio Two. Working until 1pm, mono mixes were made of Ticket To Ride, Another Girl, I Need You and Yes It Is, the last of which was to be The Beatles' next single b-side.

After a break they began recording from 3.30-5.15. The Beatles recorded nine takes of John Lennon's You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, one of the highlights of the Help! soundtrack. Only two of the takes were complete.

The song was The Beatles' first since Love Me Do to feature a session musician. Flautists Johnnie Scott first recorded an alto flute part, then added an overdub on a tenor flute. Scott was paid £6 for his contribution, but received no credit on the album sleeve.

The Beatles recorded two more songs between 6 and 10pm. The first was If You've Got Trouble, written by Lennon-McCartney for Ringo Starr to sing. Just one take was recorded, with overdubs of double-tracked vocals and guitar solo by George Harrison. However, the song was evidently deemed to be of insufficient quality for the soundtrack, and its first official release wasn't until 1996.

Запись,микширование: It Don't Come Easy - Ringo Starr

Запись новой композиции началась вечером 18 февраля 1970 на Эбби Роад, в студии № 2, в период сессий звукозаписи первого сольного альбома Старра Sentimental Journey. Ранее в этот день Старр перезаписал свой вокал в песнях «Have I Told You Lately That I Love You» и «Let the Rest of the World Go By», предназначавшихся для Sentimental Journey. На этом этапе новая песня носила рабочее название «You Gotta Pay Your Dues» (англ. Ты должен платить по счетам).

На этой первой сессии продюсером был Джордж Мартин, Харрисон играл на акустической гитаре и руководил остальными музыкантами: Старром (барабаны), Клаусом Форманом (бас-гитара), Стивеном Стиллзом (фортепиано). Между 7 часами вечера и половиной первого ночи было записано 20 дублей «базового» трека (аккомпанемента); как «лучший» был помечен 20-й дубль. Затем Старр дозаписал ведущий вокал, а Харрисон — две партии на электрогитаре. Сессия была закончена в 4 часа утра; песня была смикширована в стерео-микс.
