How The Beatles built Paul McCartney's segue from Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight. Originally written with Ringo in mind, the song cleverly calls back to the first song of the Abbey Road medley You Never Give Me Your Money. #beatles #ringostarr #georgeharrison #isolatedpiano #isolatedbass #multitracks #isolateddrums #isolatedvocals #classicrock #isolatedtracks by @rbstems

How The Beatles built the starting track of their famous medley, You Never Give Me Your Money, off Abbey Road. #beatles #ringostarr #georgeharrison #isolatedguitar #isolatedbass #multitracks #isolatedpiano #isolateddrums #isolatedvocals

You Never Give Me Your Money opens what would become the Beatles' celebrated Abbey Road medley. Written by Paul McCartney, the song reflects the band's growing business frustrations, particularly their dealings with Allen Klein and the financial turmoil surrounding Apple.

The idea for the medley began to take shape in April 1969, while Get Back was still the band's primary focus. In interviews, John even suggested that the long-form medley was originally intended to be part of the Get Back project. By then, he had already written "Polythene Pam" and "Mean Mr. Mustard," while Paul had developed the three sections of "You Never Give Me Your Money." Although recording on these songs began during this period, most of the medley had yet to be written or recorded, as the band was still working toward the proposed June deadline for Get Back.

Recording of You Never Give Me Your Money began on May 6th, 1969, with Paul on piano and lead vocal, Ringo on drums, John on rhythm guitar, and George on lead guitar. After 36 takes, take 30 was selected as the foundation for the finished recording. During this session, Paul's piano was routed through a Leslie speaker, though this effect was ultimately omitted from the final mix.

Throughout several sessions in July, the band gradually built up the arrangement. John and George double-tracked their guitar parts, Paul overdubbed a new bass line and re-recorded his lead vocal, Ringo added tambourine while the other three recorded the song's rich backing vocals, and Paul completed the second section with tubular bells.

The song's ending, however, remained relatively undeveloped, concluding as a loose 12-bar blues jam. An early idea for the transition into Sun King involved holding an organ chord to bridge the two songs, but this was abandoned. Instead, on August 5th, Paul assembled a collage of tape loops, consisting primarily of birdsong and other nature sounds, forming the final transition. by @rbstems
