The Beatles - Ask Me Why – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon)

Lead vocal: John Recorded November 26, 1962. First heard by the public on the BBC radio

program “Teenagers Turn” on June 11, 1962. It is the b-side of The Beatles’ second single, “Please Please Me,” released January 11, 1963. Written in early

1962, "Ask Me Why" is principally a John Lennon composition. The song was one of three original songs performed during the Beatles’ EMI audition at Abbey Road

Studios on June 6, 1962. On U.S. albums:

The Beatles - Love Me Do – Please Please Me

(McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: John and Paul

The Beatles’ first single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Released October 5, 1962, it reached #17 on the British charts.

Principally written by Paul McCartney in 1958 and 1959. Recorded with three different drummers: Pete Best (June 6, 1962, EMI audition), Ringo Starr (September 4, 1962), and Andy White

(September 11, 1962 with Ringo playing tambourine). The 45 rpm single lists the songwriters as Lennon-McCartney. One of several

Beatles songs Paul McCartney owns with Yoko Ono. Starting with the songs recorded for their debut album on February 11, 1963, Lennon

and McCartney’s output was attached to their Northern Songs publishing company. Because their first single was released before

John and Paul had contracted with a music publisher, EMI assigned it to their own, a company called Ardmore and Beechwood, which took

the two songs “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You.” Decades later McCartney and Ono were able to purchase the songs for their

respective companies, MPL Communications and Lenono Music. Fun fact: John Lennon shoplifted the harmonica he played on the song

from a shop in Holland. On U.S. albums:

The Beatles - P.S. I Love You – Please Please Me

(McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: Paul

Recorded in ten takes on September 11, 1962, with Andy White on drums. The b-side of “Love Me Do,” released October 5, 1962, in the UK. The Beatles originally intended this to be the A-side of their first Parlophone single but

because another song with the same title had been released by Peggy Lee they were persuaded to put this on the b-side. One of the three original compositions they performed during their EMI audition. Written mostly by Paul McCartney in

April or May 1962 while The Beatles were in Hamburg, Germany. John has said it was Paul’s attempt to mimic “Soldier Boy” by The Shirelles, which was a hit in

April of 1962. One of several Beatles songs Paul McCartney owns with Yoko Ono. Starting with the songs recorded for their debut album on February 11, 1963,

(David-Williams-Bacharach) Lead vocal: John Recorded in three takes on February 11, 1963. Originally recorded by The

Shirelles in December 1961 on Scepter Records. Performed by The Beatles in their live act throughout 1962 and 1963.

The Beatles - A Taste of Honey – Please Please

Me (Scott-Marlow)

Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles knew that adding a variety of music styles to their

stage act would garner them more bookings. They loved ballads and were always on the hunt for songs that would add a touch

of ‘sophistication’ to their live show. Among the songs they found to fit this need was the ballad “A Taste Of Honey.” A

popular instrumental of the day, the band came across a version with lyrics and added it to their repertoire in 1962. Bobby Scott’s original version won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Theme of 1962. The title was sometimes sung as “A waste of money” by Beatle John at 1962 and 1963 shows. Paul’s vocal was double-tracked here, the only time this was done on the

debut LP. On U.S. albums:

The Beatles - Twist And Shout – Please Please Me (Medley-Russell) Lead vocal: John

The last song recorded during the marathon session on February 11, 1963. Two takes were completed before Lennon’s voice gave out. The released version is the first take. Originally recorded by

The Isley Brothers in May 1962, The Beatles performed it regularly in their live act between 1962 and 1965. Its inclusion in

the 1986 film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” sent the song up the Billboard singles chart 22 years after its initial U.S. release.



The Beatles - Till There Was You – With The Beatles (Willson)

11

Lead vocal: Paul The song was written by Meredith Wilson for his 1957 Broadway musical The

Music Man. The Broadway cast recording for the musical, released in January of 1958, won the first Grammy Award for the category Best Original Cast Album

(Broadway or TV) ever issued. The album contains “Till There Was You” sung by actress Barbara Cook. The musical was adapted to the big screen in 1962, which

featured Shirley Jones singing the song. Peggy Lee released a version of the ballad in April 1960.

The song was the reason The Beatles were asked to audition for EMI’s

Parlophone Records after being turned down by Decca. On February 13, 1962, Brian Epstein met with George Martin, head of A&R at Parlophone. Martin, who

was looking for the next pop idol to be secured to his small label, eagerly listened to the discs Epstein had transferred from the Decca audition reel-to-reel tapes. Although not overly-impressed, “Till There Was You” stuck out like a sore thumb. Martin was impressed by George Harrison’s polished guitar work as well

as Paul McCartney’s spot on vocals. Martin set The Beatles’ EMI audition for June 6, 1962.

The Beatles - You Really Got A Hold On Me – With The Beatles (Robinson)

Lead vocal: John Recorded June 18, 1963, Paul McCartney’s 21st birthday. Originally

recorded by the Miracles and released as a single by Motown Records in November 1962. The single was a crossover smash, topping the Billboard R&B chart and reaching #8 on the Billboard pop chart. Miracles’ lead singer William “Smokey” Robinson is the credited

songwriter. It is one of three Motown songs covered by The Beatles on their second LP. On U.S. album:

The Beatles - Devil In Her Heart – With The Beatles

(Drapkin) Lead vocal: George

Brian Epstein had a policy at his NEMS record store of buying at least one copy of every record that was released. George Harrison:

“Consequently he had records that weren’t hits in Britain, or even hits in America. Before we were going to a gig we’d meet in the record store, after it had shut, and we’d search the racks like ferrets to see what new ones were

there … ‘Devil In Her Heart’ and Barrett Strong’s ‘Money’ were records that we’d picked up and played in the shop and thought were interesting.” Recorded July 18, 1963. Originally recorded by Detroit-based girl group The Donays in 1962 as

“Devil in His Heart,” as the group was made up of females. On U.S. album:

The Beatles - Mr. Moonlight - Beatles For Sale

(Johnson)

13

Lead vocal: John The Beatles first attempted to record this obscure B-side from early 1962 by Dr. Feelgood and the Interns, before leaving on their 1964 North American Tour, but didn’t make much progress. The initial takes featured a George Harrison guitar

solo. When the group returned from their tour they revisited the song on October 18, 1964, and laid down takes 5-8. At the October takes George’s guitar

solo was replaced by Paul on Hammond organ. Percussion was provided by George Harrison thumping on an old African drum and Ringo playing what Paul

described as a “horned-shaped sort of conga drum.” On U.S. album:

HOUR II

The Beatles - Ticket To Ride - Help! (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocals: John and Paul The Beatles’ ninth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

Issued nearly four months prior to the “Help!” album’s release on July 19, 1965 in the U.S. and four days later in the UK. Recorded on

14

February 15, 1965 and featuring a blistering lead guitar performance by Paul McCartney. John and Paul composed the song together

based primarily on John’s idea. The song’s distinctive drum pattern was conceived by Paul. The complex song arrangement was highly

innovative for the time, and certainly unlike anything being played on top 40 radio. John Lennon in 1970: “ ‘Ticket To Ride was slightly a new sound at the time. It was pretty heavy for then, if you go and look in the charts for what other music people were making. It's a heavy record and the drums are heavy too. That's why I like it.”

McCartney said, “It was quite radical at the time.” Capitol Records printed “From the United Artists release ‘Eight Arms To Hold You’ ”

on both sides of the single. On U.S. album:

Help! - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Nowhere Man - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Under pressure to deliver new material while the “Rubber Soul” album was being recorded, John Lennon spent five hours one morning at home trying to come up

with a new song. John: “I'd actually stopped trying to think of something. Nothing would come. I was cheesed off and went for a lie down, having given up. Then I thought of myself as Nowhere Man - sitting in his nowhere land.” Paul: “We were always forcing [the Abbey Road staff] into things they didn't want to do. ‘Nowhere Man’ was one. I remember we wanted very treble-y

guitars, which they are, they're among the most treble-y guitars I've ever heard on record.” “Nowhere Man” was performed throughout The Beatles’ 1966 world tour. Issued as a single (b/w “What Goes On”) by Capitol Records in America.

Recorded on October 22, 1965. On U.S. album:

Yesterday and Today - Capitol LP

The Beatles - The Word - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Recorded in three takes at a late night session starting on November 10, 1965 that ran until 4 a.m. the next morning. Overdubs include Paul on piano, George

Martin on harmonium, and Ringo playing the maracas. The song is a full collaboration between Lennon and McCartney, and began as an attempt to write

a song based around a single note. On U.S. album:

Rubber Soul - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Think For Yourself - Rubber Soul

16

(Harrison) Lead vocal: George

The fifth original composition by George Harrison to be recorded by The Beatles was completed on November 8, 1965 in one take with overdubs under the

working title “Won’t Be There With You.” The song features Paul playing his bass through a fuzz box to give it a distorted sound.

On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Doctor Robert - Revolver

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John

John’s song about a doctor that dispenses pills and other comfort to his clients was rumored to be about Dr. Robert Freymann of New York, who ran a discreet clinic on Manhattan's East 78th Street. The good doctor had a reputation for giving vitamin B-12 injections containing large doses of amphetamines, mainly to well-heeled New Yorkers. But both John and Paul have denied that is the source of the lyrics. Paul: “The song was a joke about this fellow who cured everyone of everything with all these pills and tranquilizers. He just kept New York high.” John: “‘Doctor Robert’ was another of mine. Mainly about drugs and pills. It was about myself: I was the one that carried all the pills on tour and always have done. Well, in the early days. Later on the roadies did it, and we just kept them in our pockets loose, in case of trouble.” Originally clocking in at nearly three minutes, the song was cut to 2:13 for its official release. The backing track was recorded in seven takes on April 17, 1966. Overdubs included Paul on piano, John on harmonium, and George on maracas. “Doctor Robert” was one of three songs issued in America six weeks prior to their official release in the UK. American and Canadian Beatles fans heard “I’m Only Sleeping,” “And Your Bird Can Sing,” and “Doctor Robert” first on Capitol Records’ “Yesterday And Today” album, issued June 20, 1966. The rest of the world had to wait until the first week of August for them to appear on the “Revolver” LP.

The Beatles - Drive My Car - Rubber Soul

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: Paul and John

The lead off track to Rubber Soul on the UK version was recorded on October 13, 1965. This session was the first in Beatles recording

history to go past midnight. The music was written by Paul but he needed help with the lyrics. He and John worked through the song

and came up with “baby you can drive my car” in place of temporary lyrics Paul was using (“you can give me golden rings”). “Drive my

car” is an old blues expression for sex. The basic track was completed in four takes. Thanks to overdubbing, McCartney plays

bass, piano and slide guitar (his Epiphone Casino). Paul provides the guitar solo in the song’s introduction, middle and ending.

The Beatles - She Said She Said - Revolver


The rhythm track was finished in three takes on June 21, 1966, the final day of recording for “Revolver.” When the recording session started the song was untitled. The key line came from a real-life incident. On August 24, 1965, during a break in Los Angeles from

their North American Tour, The Beatles rented a house on Mulholland Drive. They played host to notables such as Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds, actors and actresses, and a bevy of

beautiful women, “From Playboy, I believe,” Lennon remembered. John, high on acid, found himself in a strange conversation with actor

Peter Fonda, who kept coming up to him and whispering, “I know what it’s like to be dead.” As a child, Fonda had a near-death

experience after accidentally shooting himself on the stomach. The song was a last-minute addition to the “Revolver,” rehearsed and

19

recorded on the final day of sessions when the band discovered they were one song short. McCartney recalls getting into an argument

with John and leaving the studio. He believes this is one of the only Beatle records he didn’t play on. It is assumed George played the

bass in McCartney’s absence. John sings the lead vocal and plays the organ, and John and George double-tracked the backing vocals.

The Beatles - Any Time At All - A Hard Day’s Night


Recorded June 2, 1964, the last day of recording for the “A Hard Day’s Night” album. John Lennon: “An effort at writing ‘It Won't Be Long’ - same ilk. C to A minor, C to A minor with me shouting.” The song was in an unfinished state when Lennon brought it to the band to record on June 2. The group worked out the arrangement throughout the day and night. Up against the wall on a deadline to submit the album, the piano section in the middle eight was left without lyrics. They had run out of time. On April 8, 1988, Lennon's handwritten lyrics for “Any Time At All” were sold for £6,000 at an auction held at Sotheby's in London.

The Beatles - Can’t Buy Me Love - A Hard Day’s Night

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

The Beatles’ sixth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

During their 19-day engagement at Paris’s Olympia Theatre The Beatles took time out to record German-language versions for two of their biggest hits. “I

Want to Hold Your Hand” and “She Loves You” were chosen to get new vocals to increase sales in the German market. This was at the insistence of EMI’s German

branch, Odeon, which felt they couldn’t sell large quantities of records unless they were sung in German. With less than an hour left on their booked recording

time, The Beatles recorded four takes of a new song by Paul, “Can’t Buy Me Love.” Issued in the U.S. on March 16, 1964, it sold 940,225 copies in the U.S. the day it was released, earning a gold record award that day and shattering all previous sales records. Within two weeks sales had totaled 2 million copies. The

24

single went on to sell over 3 million by the end of the year. The UK single was released four days later, on March 20, 1964. Recorded Jan. 29, 1964 at Pathe’ Marconi Studio in Paris. It’s inclusion in “A Hard Day’s Night” was a decision by

director Richard Lester, who opted for Paul’s fast paced million seller over John’s slower new song “I’ll Cry Instead.” The decision to cut “I’ll Cry Instead” from the film was so last minute that the American soundtrack LP, which had been rush-released on United Artists Records, included “I’ll Cry Instead” in its song line-up.

The Beatles - I Should Have Known Better - A Hard Day’s Night


Following their triumphant visit to America The Beatles were thrust back to work. On February 25, 1964 they dove into new songs slated for their film. On this day they recorded “You Can’t Do That” and began work on Paul’s “And I Love Her” and John’s “I Should Have Known Better.” In the film “I Should Have Known Better” was performed in the train compartment scene, which in reality was the interior of a van with crew members rocking the van to fake the train in motion. Used as the flip side of the U.S. “A Hard Day’s Night” single. Paul’s “Things We Said Today” was

the UK b-side. Recorded Feb. 25-26, 1964. On U.S. album:

The most scathing outward song directed towards Paul McCartney. As John responded to a number of songs written on Paul’s Ram LP. This was song was all about Paul, but later John said it was really about himself. George offers a blistering guitar solo. It’s said that even Allen Klein contributed some lyrics towards Paul McCartney, because at the time, Paul was suing Klein and the other Beatles.

The Beatles - I’m Down - Single (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul Recorded in one take on June 14, 1965. Written entirely by Paul McCartney, who showed off his skills at the June 14 recording session by recording “I’ve Just Seen A Face” in six takes, then the scorcher “I’m Down” in one take, and following a dinner

break, nailing “Yesterday” in two takes. “I’m Down” was patterned after Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally,” or as George Harrison described it at the time, “It’s pretty wild… because it has Paul’s wild voice.” Paul: “I could do Little Richard's voice,

which is a wild, hoarse, screaming thing. It's like an out-of-body experience. You have to leave your current sensibilities and go about a foot above your head to sing it. A lot of people were

fans of Little Richard so I used to sing his stuff but there came a point when I wanted one of my own, so I wrote ‘I'm Down.’ I

ended up doing it at Shea Stadium. It worked very well for those kind of places, it was a good stage song. And in as much as they

are hard to write, I'm proud of it. Those kind of songs with hardly any melody, rock 'n' roll songs, are much harder to write than ballads, because there's nothing to them.” John Lennon plays the Hammond organ.

The Beatles – Get Back - Let It Be "Get Back" was the original title to the film and album, which became Let It Be. The whole idea of the album was for the band to 'get back' to their recording roots by playing live and without studio trickery, hence the title. Journalists repeatedly asked Paul if the song had

32

racist meanings, but demo tapes show that the song was originally a satire of people who wanted to keep

illegal immigrants out of Britain. Soon Paul had added a few characters and the satire was lost, but the single

was enormously successful, selling 2 million copies. McCartney 1.00
