Две фотосессии Битлз. Начнём с более поздней: 25 сентября 1967 года, запись The Fool On The Hill.

The Beatles spent the evening of September 25th inside EMI's Studio Two, in London. This was a 7pm to 3am session which resulted in the first proper recordings of The Fool On The Hill (Paul had recorded a demo back on September 6th). Three takes of the basic rhythm track were taped. Harmonicas were played by John and George, and overdubs of a recorder were played by Paul. Drums and Paul's lead vocal were then added to take four (which was a reduction mixdown of take three). The results were not deemed good enough for release and the Beatles would eventually re-record the song from scratch for release on Magical Mystery Tour. However, this evenings completed outtake did eventually see release as part of the Anthology 2 double CD in 1996.

Early on during the session, the Beatles were visited by two members of the Japanese media, Koh Hasebe and Rumiko Hoshika. While the Beatles began rehearsing The Fool On The Hill, Koh took photographs and Rumiko recorded brief interviews with each member of the group. The complete tape runs approximately 12 minutes in length (when played at close to the correct speed), but unfortunately only survives in inferior sound quality.
