(Tuesday, January 7, 1969, 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. BST) — The Beatles gathered this morning at Twickenham Film Studios in London for the fourth day of rehearsals for the Get Back/Let It Be sessions, intended to form the basis for both a television documentary and a new album. 

The day saw the first appearance of Get Back, which would soon become the focus of much of The Beatles’ attentions. At this stage, however, it was lacking most of its final lyrics in the verses.
