On this one point he may be right - before 1968 the Beatles did nto  
use heqadphones in the studio, but speakers placed at the null of  
figure 8 mics. It is entirely possible that the ambience leaking  
across channels was acoustic leakage from the monitor speaker.See  
Recording the Beatles for details.

On the next page he misrepresents how the Beatles first LP was  
recorded when he says it was "compiled" with "the instrumental  
backing being recorded on one track with the vocals added on the  
other."  By using the word "ADDED" he is implying that they were  
overdubbed in a separate pass.  It is obvious when you listen to the  
tracks in isolation that they were recorded simultaneously because  
you can hear the studio ambiance of the other track on their opposite  
ones.
