"Dream" was a song composed by Johnny Mercer and was an early contender for the upcoming Ringo Starr solo LP "Sentimental Journey". The backing track featuring bass, drums and a guitar were recorded in Trident Studios London on November 14.
After the basic track was completed, Ringo decided to add some of his vocals to the tune and ended up over-dubbing two or three different voices to give him a "group" effect sounding like more than one guy singing the song. Once completed, the tape was brought over to Abbey Road and a rough mix was done by Geoff Emerick four days later.
George Martin wrote the orchestral score for the song and it was added to the track in EMI Studio 2 months later on February 10 1970. Once this was completed, the song was mixed in stereo only on February 20 1970 probably at EMI as well.
The song was released commercially on all copies of the Apple LP/CD "Sentimental Journey".
