Citando:
"“How do You Sleep?” é de uma selvajaria sem paralelo. John descarrega toda a sua ira em cima de Paul e cada linha é uma entrada a pés juntos, com referências específicas a assuntos mal resolvidos e ataques pessoais do mais alto nível de ressabiamento: “Those freaks was right when they said you was dead” (referência à teoria da conspiração que Paul tinha morrido em 1966) / “The only thing you done was Yesterday“ (referência ao single dos Beatles) /”And since you’ve gone you’re just Another Day” (referência ao single mais recente de Paul à data).
Quem toca guitarra no tema é George, esse mesmo, que na altura também em conflito com o Paul. Ringo também estava no estúdio, mas não quis gravar “How Do You Sleep?”, tendo até gritado “That’s enough, John”, antes de se ir embora frustrado com o ponto a que as relações entre os velhos amigos tinham chegado."
Desta vez considerado como "Minor entry" no catálogo:

"Geoff Emerick, the Beatles chief recording engineer who worked on some of the band’s most seminal albums, has died according to his manager William Zabaleta. He was 72 and believed to have suffered a heart attack.
Said Zabaleta in a statement to Variety: “Today at around 2’o’clock, I was making my way back from Arizona to Los Angeles to pick up Geoff so we could transport some gold records and platinum plaques to our show in Tucson. While on the phone, he had complications and dropped the phone. I called 911, but by the time they got there, it was too late. Geoff suffered from heart problems for a long time and had a pacemaker. … When it’s your time it’s your time. We lost a legend and a best friend to me and a mentor.”
Emerick, born Dec. 5, 1945, began working as an assistant engineer at Abbey Road at just 15 years-old and, just a few months months in, was face-to-face with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in the London studio. He apprenticed and later worked on such early Beatles’ recordings as “Love Me Do”, “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You,” and “A Hard Day’s Night.” Later becoming the band’s chief engineer, he helmed “Revolver,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “The White Album” and “Abbey Road” as well as the dual-sided single “Penny Lane”/”Strawberry Fields Forever.” "
