The Beatles, on a Tuesday evening in 1968, gathered at Abbey Road (Studio Two) to continue work on a new song: “Hey Jude.”
A few takes had been recorded the night before... but this ambitious single was still a work in progress.

It is my understanding that 'hey jude' was recorded at trident studios at st. anne's court - London.
^ Yes, Tony, the final version was. The Beatles went to Trident Studios the next day -- July 31 -- and started from scratch on Trident's 8-track machine.
But by then, they'd already recorded 25 takes of "Hey Jude" at Abbey Road (on a 4-track machine).
