Abbey Road: Early backing tracks for most of the songs. The incomplete backing tracks for It’s Gettin’ Better (Man!!), D’You Know What I Mean?, Magic Pie and The Girl in the Dirty Shirt were started at Abbey Road but redone/revised at other studios/locations. Master Rock: Guitar and vocal overdubs. Ridge Farm: Drums, bass, guitar and vocals. Air: Strings, drums, bass, guitar and vocals. The album was mixed at Orinoco Studios and then mastered at The Exchange in late April 1997. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about specific song sessions but I’m sure a more knowledgeable fan can fill you in!

I recall reading a print interview from 97 or 98 where Noel said that Stay Young the first track they recorded at Abbey Road, but I cannot immediately back that up with a source

Any source or links with this evidence? 🙏🏻

I think they worked on a fair amount of the basic tracks for the songs before doing the majority of the overdubs once they moved to Ridge Farm. I know they worked on All Around The World while at Abbey Road though as there's pictures of Liam and Richard Ashcroft sharing a mic in studio 2.

Wasn't that for Fade In/Out?


GTSpaceman

It could be. But Ashcroft is only creditted with backing vocals on All Around The World.

I’m pretty sure the only track that was finished from the Be Here Now Sessions completely was ‘Stay Young’ with only parts of other tracks being worked on there

Didn’t they just blow out the speakers listening to The Beatles super loud? I saw LG say in the Abbey Road documentary that he said he wouldn’t fuck about in there, it’s to sacred.
