The principal product of a brief flurry of recording activity in February 1968, just before the Beatles took off to India to study Transcendental Meditation, Lady Madonna became the Beatle's follow-up single to Hello, Goodbye, issued in March and, as usual, a worldwide number one.
This is a unique remix of some of the different takes and sounds that comprised the master, compassing Take 3 (the basic track of piano and drums with overdubs of guitar, bass, vocals and more drums) from 3 February and a "reduction" of this called Take 4, also with overdubs (particularly saxes), from 6 February.
