Part 6/11:
The blend of woodwinds and Moog sounds created an interesting production quirk: the Moog was recorded over the same track that features the woodwinds, partially erasing it, but preserving enough of the original string arrangement to be discernible at certain moments in the song.
A Masterful Final Touch
Once all the varied elements were in place, mixing began, and it became evident that Here Comes the Sun possessed several post-production anomalies. One particular quirk is the song’s slightly sharp key—an intentional choice known as vari-speed, often favored by the Beatles to create a unique sonic texture. Another interesting discovery occurred around 2006 when a remixed version for the Cirque du Soleil musical LOVE resurrected a line that had been omitted from the final chorus.
