Getting Better (No.13)
Back To 1967Choose A Different YearNext Video
One of the recording sessions for "Getting Better" is famous for an incident involving John Lennon. During the 1967 session Lennon complained that he did not feel well and could not focus. He had accidentally taken LSD when he meant to take an upper.
Unaware of the mistake, George Martin took him up to the roof of Abbey Road Studio for some fresh air, and returned to Studio Two where Paul McCartney and George Harrison were waiting.
They knew why Lennon was not well, and upon hearing where Lennon was, rushed to the roof to retrieve him and prevent a possible accident.
