@DrBlowThingsUp Paul told stories for years that he came up with the idea and design for the 8-track and had Ampex build it, but the truth is Ampex came up with the idea and brought it to Paul. The design was entirely that of Ampex.
I can't seem to post a link to the PDF, but search for this on Google:
Sel-Sync and the "Octopus" - Audio Engineering Society
That is the story of the development of the Ampex 8-track made for Les Paul.

@alcockell Your description of the Beatles' recordings is incorrect. The first two albums were recorded on 2-track, dubbing from one machine to another for overdubs. Not until I Want To Hold Your Hand did they utilize 4-track machines. And the stereo mixes had nothing to do with Capitol. They were produced by George Martin and released concurrently (or, a month later for Please Please Me) with the mono mixes in the UK. The first two albums are basically dubs of the 2-track session tapes.

FYI - those are not Ampex 200 machines, nor are they 1". They are 1/4" machines, probably Ampex 400.
Also, dubbing back and forth 24 times is not the same as a 24-track machine. Those were not introduced until 1968/9, as the Ampex MM-1000.
