" Tuesday June 11th, 1968: two simultaneous sessions at Abbey Road: a telling first. While John was in studio three (7.00-10.15 pm), experimenting with tape loops for 'Revolution 9', Paul was in studio two (3.30 pm-12.15 am), starting, completing in 32 acoustic guitar/vocal takes, and mixing into mono his new ballad 'Blackbird'.
    Also at EMI Studios this day Paul was filmed with Apple's new discovery Mary Hopkin, listening to a playback of one of her first recordings. Directed by Tony Bramwell and shot on 16mm, it was done not for public broadcasting but for inclusion in a short colour film being assembled by Bramwell to promote Apple Records. The film also included footage of the Beatles having a business meeting with Dick James in the Apple office at 95 Wigmore Street, of Alexis Mardas (head of Apple Electronics), and of Paul performing 'Blackbird' live with his acoustic guitar here at EMI Studios and, at one brief point, dropping into 'Helter Skelter' (see also 18 July and 9 September). No shoot date is documented for either of these three last items, although Bramwell remembers that the 'Blackbird' sequence was filmed about two days after it was recorded (circa 13 June). "
