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), 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.

The Beatles - Let It Be - album version - Let It Be

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

“Let It Be” was the last song properly recorded on multi-track at Apple Studios during the “Get Back” sessions in January 1969. It was completed in eight takes (numbered Take 20 through 27 to match the film crew clapboard numbers) on January 31, 1969,

the day after the rooftop concert. Take 27 had two complete performances of the song and the first of these Take 27 performances was deemed the best. Though the intent of

the January 1969 “Get Back” sessions was to capture the Beatles “live” in the studio without benefit of studio trickery like overdubbing, an exception was made on “Let It

Be” so that George Harrison could re-record his lead guitar solo. George’s overdub was recorded on April 30, 1969. Author Mark Lewisohn: “It is widely believed that there are two different takes of ‘Let It Be’ publicly available - the single released (in the UK) on

March 6, 1970 and the “Let It Be” LP version released (in the UK) May 8, 1970. Certainly the lead guitar solos in the middle eight differ considerably, and the LP version has a longer duration. But, in truth, these are one and the same version. That is, they are

derived from the same tape.”

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 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 - Paperback Writer - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies


The Beatles’ twelfth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Recorded on April 13 and 14, 1966. The track is notable for Paul McCartney’s furious bass line. The bass is so prominent in the mix that sound engineers at EMI worried it

could cause the stylus of a record player tone arm (the needle thing on record players) to jump when fans played the 45 RPM single at home. Thankfully, no such calamity

occurred. For this heavy bass sound Paul’s chose to replace his usual Hofner bass with a Rickenbacker 4001S bass. Aside from the dominant bass part, McCartney also provides the lead guitar, with George Harrison working the tambourine. The second and third

verse backing vocal is the French nursery rhyme “Frere Jacques.” Released in America on May 23 and in the UK on June 10. “Paperback Writer” made the second largest ever jump to No. 1 on Billboard's chart. It debuted at number 28 on June 11, 1966, moved to

15 and then to number 1 on June 25. The only single to make a bigger jump was another Beatles song, “Can't Buy Me Love.”

The Beatles - Get Back - single version (Non-LP track)

8

The Beatles’ nineteenth single release for EMI, and second on the Apple Records label.

The “Get Back” sessions, as the January 1969 recording sessions were now known, produced about 475 hours of film and 141 hours of audio tape that had to be sifted

through. But proper multi-track recordings weren’t made until the band was recording in the basement of the Beatles’ Apple headquarters between January 21-31, 1969.

Producer/Engineer Glyn Johns attempted to construct an album entitled “Get Back” from the tapes but his versions were rejected. The tapes were left dormant in the vault for a year, with the exception of a single (“Get Back”/“Don’t Let Me Down”). “Get Back” had been rehearsed and reworked throughout the January sessions, including over 30 takes of the song on January 27, 1969. Among those over 30 takes was the master take of

the song, but it did not include the familiar coda at the end. That would be recorded the following day and edited on to the January 27 master. Like John Lennon’s “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Get Back” features Billy Preston on keyboards. The song is also notable as one of John’s best guitar solos. Rush-released as a single with the hope of being in stores in

the UK on April 11, 1969, the single showed up a week later.

The Beatles - Don’t Let Me Down - Non-LP B-Side

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John with Paul

The Beatles’ nineteenth single release for EMI, and second on the Apple Records label.

The “Get Back” sessions, as the January 1969 recording sessions were now known, produced about 475 hours of film and 141 hours of audio tape that had to be sifted

Producer/Engineer Glyn Johns attempted to construct an album entitled “Get Back” from the tapes but his versions were rejected. The tapes would be left dormant in the vault

for a year, with the exception of a single (“Get Back”/“Don’t Let Me Down”). John Lennon’s “Don’t Let Me Down” was a love song for Yoko Ono and was the first song

given a full run-through by the group when sessions for the new album began at Twickenham Studios on January 2, 1969. But proper multi-track recording takes were not done until the band changed location to the basement recording studio at their

Apple headquarters. On U.S. album:

QUICK BREAK HERE

This next one was released on 11 of May 1981 here in the States, where

it spent three weeks at number 2 on the Billboard singles chart…it features the amazing line up of : George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul

McCartney & Wings…yup….and Al Kooper too….

George Harrison – All Those Years Ago

This particular track is a puzzle still somewhat unsolved. Originally written for Ringo with different lyrics, (which Ringo didn’t think was right for him), the lyrics

10

10

were rewritten after John Lennon’s murder. Although Ringo did provide drums, there is a dispute as to whether Paul, Linda and Denny did backing vocals at

Friar Park, or in their own studio – hence phoning it in. But Paul insists that he had asked George to play on his own track, Wanderlust, for the Tug Of War album. Having arrived at George’s Friar Park estate, they instead focused on backing vocals for All Those Years Ago. It became George’s biggest hit in 8

years, just missing the top spot on the charts.

John Lennon – (Just Like) Starting Over

This would become the biggest post-Beatles solo 45 rpm ever. This was a fifties-style song that was unlike anything on the radio in 1980. It was an enormous hit

even before the event on December 8th, 1980. A song that was dedicated to Gene Vincent and Elvis.

It is his biggest solo American hit, staying at number 1 for five weeks.

The Beatles – Free As A Bird – Anthology I

John piano demo recorded New York circa 1977. Paul, George and Ringo took enhanced the song starting on February 11th 1994 to the end of the

month. These sessions take place at Paul's Mill studios in Sussex

The Beatles - Help! - Help! (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ tenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

Recorded during a three-hour session on April 13, 1965. Written mostly by John with some help from Paul. In 1965 George Harrison was interviewed about the upcoming single, saying “it’s probably the best single we’ve done.” Harrison said the group was really pleased with the song, and described it as being more “involved” than previous Beatles songs. “It has a counter melody going on as well as a main melody.” In 1980 John Lennon said, “The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. I was eating and drinking like a pig and I was fat as a pig, dissatisfied with myself, and

subconsciously I was crying for help. When ‘Help!’ came out, I was actually crying out for help. I didn't realize it at the time. I just wrote the song because I was

commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help. So it was my fat Elvis period. You see the movie: he - I - is very fat, very insecure, and he's completely lost himself.” Lennon has pointed to 1967’s “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Help!” as his only “honest” songs with the Beatles. The song was number one in

the U.S. for three weeks, and in the UK it spent four weeks at number one. On U.S. album:

HELP!

The Beatles - I’m Down - Single


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.

Recorded: 16 October 1965 Rubber Soul sessions Oct. `65 – Yesterday & Today LP here in the US… The

eleventh official EMI release. The first official double "A" side release of “We Can Work It Out”

Inspired in part by John and George's first experience with acid, "Day Tripper" was written under pressure for use as a single for the Christmas

season. John wrote most of the song, with Paul contributing to each of the verses

Winner Here…hey winner yes or no… should we play Hello Goodbye next?

The Beatles - Hello Goodbye - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles’ sixteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

Originally titled “Hello Hello,” Paul’s “Hello, Goodbye” was recorded during the sessions for the “Magical Mystery Tour” TV movie, but was intended for release as a stand-alone single to be issued two weeks before the “Magical Mystery Tour” EP, and would not be included in the film. Work began on October 2, 1967 with 14 takes of the rhythm track.

Over the next month, the Beatles added overdubs to create the finished recording. Specifically, Paul’s lead vocal and John and George’s backing vocals on Oct. 19, outside

musicians playing two violas on Oct. 20, Paul’s bass guitar on Oct. 25, and a second bass guitar line from Paul on Nov. 2. From the very first take the song included its

unique reprise ending, which the group nicknamed, somewhat strangely, the “Maori finale.” Issued November 24, 1967 in the UK and November 27, 1967 in the U.S.

Written in May 1964 on board a yacht called Happy Days during Paul McCartney's holiday in the Virgin Islands with his girlfriend Jane Asher, plus Ringo Starr and his

future wife Maureen. Recorded in three takes on June 2, 1964. In his 1980 interview with Playboy magazine John Lennon remembered this being one of Paul’s better songs. McCartney double tracked his vocals. John Lennon's piano part was meant to be omitted

from the final mix, but lack of separation between instruments meant that its sound leaked into other microphones during recording. As a result it can be heard on the released version. The b-side of the UK “A Hard Day’s Night” single.

The Beatles - The Ballad Of John And Yoko - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ twentieth single release for EMI, and third on the Apple Records

label. The first Beatles single issued in stereo in the UK, it is also the very first stereo single

issued by EMI. The “Get Back” single had been released in stereo in America by Capitol. Recorded on April 14, 1969, by just John and Paul, the song was completed that day.

George was on vacation and Ringo was still filming the Peter Sellers’ comedy “The Magic Christian.” Producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick, who had distanced themselves from the group because of the constant bickering amongst the group

15

15

members, were back on board behind the recording console. The single was a complete surprise to Beatles fans. They had waited a long seven months for the group to follow-up “Hey Jude” with “Get Back” and now just over a month came another new Beatles record. The rhythm track was perfected in 11 takes (four complete) with Paul playing

drums while John played acoustic guitar and sang the lead vocal. The duo was in good spirits during the day-long session. Prior to take four John said to drummer Paul “Go a

bit faster, Ringo!” and Paul replied “OK, George!” Overdubs featured Paul on bass guitar, piano, backing vocal and maracas, and John on two lead guitar parts and

percussive thumping on the back of an acoustic guitar. The song recounts the chaos surrounding John and Yoko’s getting married. Lennon had encountered visa problems because of his November 1968 drug conviction which made his movement from one

country to another very difficult. As an example, he was not allowed to enter the United States at this time so the couple’s second “Bed-In” was staged in Montreal, about an

hour north of the U.S. border in Canada.

On U.S. album: Hey Jude - Capitol LP (1970)

John Lennon – Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)

Inspired by a conversation with Yoko’s ex-husband, Tony Cox in Denmark two days earlier – John woke up and started banging out a new tune on the piano –

which he completed in an hour. Within hours, John wrangled musicians and producer, Phil Spector to record the song. It was put to tape later that evening

and the track was released ten days later.

George Harrison – What Is Life - All Things Must Pass ‘70

George wrote this song in 1969 while traveling to a Billy Preston session at Olympic Studios. This would be the second single released off the album, though

it was listed as the B-Side for “My Sweet Lord,” in the UK. Although it should have been noted as a Double-A Single. Eric Clapton provides lead guitar.

Following the disastrous 1966 world tour the individual Beatles took control of their hectic schedule. They were no longer in a rush to do anything. In September 1966,

Brian Epstein informed EMI and Capitol that there would be no new Beatles album, and quite possibly no single, ready in time for the 1966 Christmas season. EMI quickly

assembled a 16-track greatest hits album (“A Collection Of Beatles Oldies”). In the U.S., Capitol did not release a hits compilation and instead waited impatiently for a new

single. The band reconvened in late November to begin work on their next LP. With no deadlines, they simply brought in new songs as they dreamt them up.

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever - Non-LP track

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John

The Beatles’ fourteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Recording began on November 24, 1966. Written in Spain by John several months

earlier while he was filming the Richard Lester-directed film “How I Won The War.” The beautiful “Take 1” of this Lennon classic can be heard on the “Anthology 2” album. It is entirely different than the finished version. Strawberry Fields was actually a Salvation Army home in the neighborhood where Lennon grew up. John used to go to parties

there and it always brought back happy memories to him. One of the only two “honest” songs that John says he wrote for the Beatles. The other? “Help!”

The Beatles - Come Together - Abbey Road

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John

The Beatles’ twenty-first single release for EMI, and fourth on the Apple Records label.

When John and Yoko were in Montreal staging their second and last Bed-In For Peace they were visited by Timothy Leary, an outspoken proponent of LSD. During their visit,

Leary and his wife participated in John and Yoko’s hotel room recording of “Give Peace A Chance,” singing on the chorus. Timothy is even name-checked in the lyrics. He asked

John to write a song titled “Come Together – Join The Party” for his bid to become governor of California. Lennon obliged and responded with lyrics such as: “Come

together right now/Don’t come tomorrow, don’t come alone/Come together right now over me.” Lennon recorded a demo for Leary, who started using it as his campaign

song. After being imprisoned for possession of marijuana in late 1969, Leary dropped out of the gubernatorial race, which was won by Ronald Reagan. Lennon reworked and

expanded the song for the Beatles.

The Beatles - Something - Abbey Road

(Harrison) Lead vocal: George

The Beatles’ twenty-first single release for EMI, and fourth on the Apple Records label.

Although initially crediting Lennon and McCartney as the songwriters, legendary crooner Frank Sinatra called George Harrison’s “Something” “the greatest love song ever

written.” Commonly referred to as George’s first Beatles A-side, some sales chart makers at the time considered the single a “double-A,” as both sides of the record received

significant radio airplay, and charted both “Something” and its flip side (John’s “Come Together”) as one combined chart listing. The song is the first of two CLASSIC songs

George delivered for the “Abbey Road” album, the other being “Here Comes The Sun.” It was a phenomenal one-two punch that had to have Lennon and McCartney wondering

what else Harrison had up his sleeve.

Lennon and McCartney had penned a song especially for Ringo to sing on the “Help!” album, but their creation, “If You’ve Got Trouble,” didn’t pan out in the studio. Ringo, a long-time country and western music fan, selected this chart-topping hit from 1963 by

Buck Owens to be his song on the “Help!” album. The backing track was perfected in 13 takes on June 17, 1965. Ringo provided his vocal later that day. With the exception of

the various oldies performed during the “Get Back” sessions (mostly jams during rehearsals) in January 1969, “Act Naturally” was the last song recorded by the Beatles that was not written by a member of the group. The B-side of “Yesterday” in the U.S.

On U.S. album: Yesterday and Today - Capitol LP

The Beatles – Yesterday - Help!


Written solely by Paul McCartney. After he woke up one morning with the tune in his head he went to his piano to sketch it out. Sure the tune was something he had heard before he took the song to several people and asked if they’d heard it before. When

everyone he asked said it was new to them he claimed the tune as his own. McCartney perfected the melody and added a middle eight section during breaks in the production of the Beatles’ second film. He wrote the lyrics while on vacation in Portugal in late May 1965. The band was reluctant to release the song because a lovely acoustic ballad with a string quartet did not fit their rock and roll image. It was buried on the “Help!” LP and the band had no intention of releasing it as a single in the UK. But in America, Capitol

Records issued it as a single a few days after McCartney, in the solo spotlight, sang the song on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Recorded in two takes on June 14, 1965 at the same session as “I’ve Just Seen A Face” and “I’m Down.” One of only five Beatles songs Paul

chose to perform live on his Wings Over America tour in 1976. The working version lyrics included the line: “Scrambled Eggs / Oh how I love your legs.” “Yesterday” is one

of the most covered songs in the history of recorded music. On U.S. album:

Yesterday And Today - Capitol LP

Paul & Linda McCartney - Another Day Also written around the “Let it Be” sessions, this was a similar narrative to

The Beatles - Words Of Love - Beatles For Sale (Holly)

Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles idolized Buddy Holly and performed his songs regularly as part of their club act. So it is a little surprising that “Words of Love” is the only Buddy Holly song the band
