Guitar – George Harrison, Joey Badfinger, John Lennon, John Tout, Rod Linton*, Ted Turner, Tommy Badfinger John & Yoko had hired very skilled and experienced sound engineers who used high quality equipment and knew how to mic and record onto tape with great expertise, so the technical quality of the recordings was also excellent. Many of those mics are so good they are still in use today.Brown, Peter; Gaines, Steven (2002). The Love You Make: An Insider's Story of The Beatles. New York: New American Library. p.351.

John composed the string arrangements to be relatively simple and confidently placed – sometimes strong, sometimes delicate. One of the most exciting discoveries in this project was that the original recordings of the strings sound so beautiful. They are played by some of the very best classical musicians in the world and they were also recorded exceptionally well. Listening to them on their own was a revelation (more about that in the Elements Mixes section). In 1971, before they recorded the strings in New York, John, Yoko and Phil did a stereo mix at Ascot Sound Studios, and having that original mix without strings helped in matching the new mixes to the originals. Using that as a starting point, we expanded it out as far as it felt it needed to go – in most cases, it was vocal work. Kemp, Mark (23 October 2007). "John Lennon – Reissues". Paste.

On ‘Crippled Inside’, we thought we’d have just the drums and that slap bass sound with the delay on it. It’s such a great groove, we wanted people to hear that.

It was just per song – what did we feel would be nice to isolate or show off, that might have escaped people’s initial listening experience.
