Part 6/7:
This avant-garde approach resulted in a swirling cacophony that disrupts the traditional structure of pop music. The day of the recording, February 19, 1967, featured a 40-piece orchestra, and the session costs were equivalent to nearly £99,000 today. Although McCartney initially envisioned a full 90-piece orchestra, logistical constraints led them to record multiple takes and combine them, resulting in a meticulously polished product.
The creativity shown in this recording process set new standards for music production and decorated the track with layers of artistry that pushed the boundaries of contemporary music.
