Sessions III lists July 18 as being the date
when brass & strings were overdubbed to the
songs listed above, but this cannot be the correct
date for these overdubs. In the session logs they
show that these overdubs were added to some songs
before July 7, as this is the date of the listing
in the logs, and all musicians used for these
overdubs are listed as of this date. At the bottom
right hand corner of the session log there is
a date of what looks to be "06/30" indicating
a date of June 30 1970 for this overdub session.
The book Day By Day by Ernst Jørgensen
and Peter Guralnick, as well as RCA's own single listing notice lists July 14 as the date
when the single 'I've Lost You' / 'The Next Step
Is Love' was shipped to suppliers, so these two
songs couldn't have had overdubs done on July
18!
The brass overdub on 'Only Believe' (horns) was not used, and was removed (eliminated) for final release.
