The date is unknown when the Backup Vocal overdubs
were added to 'My Little Friend'. Sessions
III lists 'My
Little Friend' as having backup vocals
overdubbed on January 23, but the session log
shows that as of February 4 (date
of the job number) no backup vocals had been
overdubbed. You can just about hear the backing
singers during the guitar intro on the U.S. Male CD and the Almost In Love LP. This does not appear
on any other versions.
The date is unknown when the backup vocal overdubs
were added to 'Gentle On My Mind'. Sessions
III lists 'Gentle
On My Mind' as having backup vocals overdubbed
on January 23, but the session log shows that
as of February 4 (date
of the job number) no backup vocals had been
overdubbed.
The date is also unknown when the backup vocal
overdubs were added to 'Power Of My Love',
'Kentucky Rain', 'Any Day Now' and 'Only
The Strong Survive'.
A possible explanation of this could be as follows:-
There is a page missing from the session logs
between March 25 and May 5 1969, and as there
appears to have been no backup vocals overdubbed
to any songs in May (Apart from May
6 & 7 where brass was also overdubbed) it is safe to
assume that it is from March. The date of the
job number at the bottom of the March
25 overdub session log is March 28, so it
would be safe to assume that this missing overdub
session would be before March 28. The March 25
overdub session was for "Strings" and
"Backup Vocals" and was held from 2.00pm
until 5.00pm but it may well be that another session
was held in the evening of March 25 but just for
the backup vocalists (Sonja Montgomery, Millie
Kirkham, Dolores Edgin, Hurshell Wigington and
Joe Babcock) to add their vocals to the missing
six tracks.
