Between October 03 and October 05, work was done on the upcoming single "Cold Turkey/ "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow".The first recording was the B side with Yoko on vocals, John (Lennon) and Eric (Clapton) on guitar, Klaus Voorman on bass and Ringo on the drums. This line up jammed on a never ending riff while Yoko did her thing all over you. The whole tune was put on tape at Lansdowne Studios (A) in London, England but it was mixed at Abbey Road by Geoff Emerick.
"Cold Turkey" had it's final overdubs done on October 05 at EMI Studio 2 including new vocals and some addition guitar by John solely. Nobody else was involved in the overdubs and it was also mixed by Geoff Emerick at Abbey Road (probably at the same time as the B side).
Both tracks are commercially available: "Cold Turkey" can be heard on the "Lennon Legend" LP while "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow" can be found on Yoko's 1971 Apple 2-LP "Fly". Of course, the live versions can always be heard on the Apple LP "Live Peace In Toronto 1969 - Plastic Ono Band".
