The first
recording of I Want You (She's So Heavy) took place already
in February 1969, several months before the recording of
the Abbey Road album had started. On this first session,
one take was recorded with Paul McCartney singing the lead
vocal. This vocal was never used.
John Lennon
and George Harrison worked closely together with the guitar
parts on this song, and overdubbed multiple guitar tracks
to create a "massive" sound. One guitar also repeated
the lead vocal throughout, similar to what George Harrison
had suggested for Hey
Jude.
The wind effect at the end of the song was created by using
a Moog synthesizer. John Lennon wanted the volume on the
wind sound to be louder and louder, and got what he wanted.
It was also Lennon who decided to cut the song before it
had finnished instead of fading out. At the time, engineer
Geoff Emerick though Lennon was out of his mind, but he
cut the tape excatly where John told him to.
