Apple’s London office sign-in sheet, one lined ledger page, both sides, 8.25 x 11.5, dated November 27 and 28, 1969. Signed by Lennon in black felt tip at the bottom of the page dated the 27th, “John & Yoko,” adding “1 ocl,” for his sign in time. Sheet is also signed by 34 others on the 27th, and by 33 others on the 28th. Earliest sign-ins are at 8:30, with most of the staff staying all day. Other notable signers include: George Pekham (hired to train as Cutting Room Engineer and assisted with records from the Stones, Eric Clapton, and Led Zeppelin), Jack Oliver (future Apple president), Bill Oakes (Peter Brown’s personal assistant who signed off and logged all Beatles expenses), Derek Taylor (Beatles press officer), Tony Bramwell (Former NEMS employee), Stephen Brendell (studio musician that played on Apple recordings), several secretaries and receptionists, and Nigel Oliver (originally hired as an office boy and later arrested in 2003 for attempting to sell stolen Beatles tapes for $500,000). The sign-in policy at Apple was implemented by Alan Klein, who became the Beatles’ manager after the death of Brian Epstein. Marginal binding holes to one vertical edge, scattered light toning and soiling, very light ‘coffee ring’ to upper portion of Lennon’s signed page, and scribbled signature through portion of “Yoko,” not affecting legibility, otherwise fine condition.
Lennon hit the studio to record ‘What's the New Mary Jane,’ one of The Beatles' strangest songs. Having written and originally recorded the song a year earlier, he and Yoko created a new stereo mix November 27, with vocals and sound effects from Yoko and simultaneous vocal and noise overdubs by Lennon, his wife, and various employees who were present in the studio. Although the song was considered for inclusion on White Album, it remained unreleased until a 1996 Beatles anthology.
