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 track opens with the repeated words “shoot me,” more than likely a reference to his shooting heroin. The “me” is obscured each time in the mix. The opening line, “Here

come old flat top, he come groovin’ up slowly” was similar enough to Chuck Berry’s “You Can’t Catch Me,” (“Here come a flat top, he was movin’ up with me”) that Berry’s music

publisher sued Lennon for copyright infringement. A settlement was reached when Lennon agreed to record three songs controlled by the publisher.

The Beatles - Taxman - Revolver

(Harrison) Lead vocal: George

Completed in 11 takes on April 21, 1966. Written by George when he started realizing the majority of his money was going to the British government in the form of taxes.

George went to John Lennon for some help with the lyrics, and Lennon was especially pleased with his line “Now my advice for those who die: declare the pennies on your eyes.” Featuring a nice lead guitar solo by Paul on his Epiphone Casino. The ‘pennies’

lyrical reference derives from Greek mythology – it is the payment to Charon (the ferryman of the underworld) to ferry the deceased to their destination in the

underworld. To pay the ferryman, the deceased person's relatives place a coin on each eye of the deceased. The Mr. Wilson and Mr. Heath mentioned in the song were real

people. Harold Wilson was the Prime Minister Married 2 kids and Edward Heath not married was head of the opposition party at the time the song was recorded. It is

the first time a George Harrison composition opens a British Beatles album. On U.S. album:

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. On U.S. album:

Yesterday and Today - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine - Revolver / Yellow Submarine (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Ringo

The Beatles’ thirteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. One of the Beatles’ most innovative creations to date (1966), a children’s sing-along, was written mostly by Paul with assistance from John for Ringo’s vocal contribution to

the “Revolver” album. The track was later used as the title song of the group’s animated film project, which was released in 1968 in the UK. Pop singer Donovan helped Paul with the lyrics, coming up with the memorable line, “Sky of blue, sea of green.” Although at the time of its release it was rumored to be about drugs, McCartney denied this, saying, “I knew ‘Yellow Submarine’ would get connotations, but it really was a children’s song in the key of Ringo.” The basic rhythm track was recorded in four takes on May 26, 1966. The session is notable in Beatles recording history because producer George Martin had taken ill with food poisoning and his future wife, Judy, manned the console to capture

all of the action in his absence. Lead and background vocals where then added. Six days later, on June 1, with Martin back at the helm, recording resumed. On this date Lennon

added his shout out (“Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead”), additional backing vocals, and sound effects, including bells, whistles, crashing waves, clinking

4

glasses, etc., were superimposed. Participating in the backing vocals along with George Martin and the four Beatles were guests including Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones,

Pattie Harrison, and band assistants Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans.

BREAK

We just heard the lead off tracks, 1st songs from Side 1 from Beatles LP’s -àYellow Submarine, Rubber Soul, Revolver

and from our featured LP of the morning Abbey Road…and all sung by a different Beatle!…. And speaking of Abbey

Road…it was released tomorrow Sept. 26th in 1969 in GB and I think former Apple Prez. Jack Oliver may stop in as

well today he was there when Abbey Road was released….let’s play another track from that LP.

The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun - Abbey Road

(Harrison) Lead vocal: George

The second of two CLASSIC songs George Harrison delivered for the “Abbey Road” album. “Here Comes The Sun” and “Something” was a phenomenal one-two punch that

had to have Lennon and McCartney wondering what else Harrison had up his sleeve. George wrote the song while walking around the sunny back garden of Eric Clapton’s

home, strumming o0ne of Eric’s acoustic guitars. Harrison had skipped out of one of the many Apple business meetings that day. Recording in 13 takes on July 7, 1969, Ringo’s 29th birthday, with George on his Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar, Paul on his Rickenbacker bass guitar and Ringo on drums. John was sidelined for the week due to be hospitalized

5

following a car accident in Scotland. The next day George overdubbed his lead vocal, and Paul and George recorded their backing vocals twice, rather than simply double-

tracking. Additions continued on July 16 (handclaps and harmonium), and August 6 and 11 (George’s acoustic guitar). George Martin’s orchestral score was recorded on August

15.

John Lennon – Nobody Told Me An instant hit in 1984, the sentiment of “strange days indeed,” rang very true in

unusual times.

The Beatles - Good Day Sunshine - Revolver

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul One of the fastest recorded tracks during the sessions for the “Revolver” album. The song, written primarily by Paul with assistance from John, was originally known as “A Good Day’s Sunshine,” and was recorded on June 8 and 9, 1966. McCartney said the

song “was very much a nod” to the Lovin’ Spoonful’s 1966 hit “Daydream.” On U.S. album:

Revolver - Capitol LP

The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney)

6

Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ seventh single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

The title is a Ringoism, coined by the drummer sometime in 1963 and used by John in his book “In His Own Write.” With the film nearly completed the last bit of business was

to give the film a name. The project was being filmed with the working title “Beatlemania.” On April 13, 1964 The Beatles met with key personnel from the studio and bounced title ideas. It was felt they’d find no better suggestion than Ringo’s off-

hand remark “it’s been a hard day’s night” and John volunteered to write the title song that evening. The next morning he brought the song in and taught it to Paul. Paul

cleaned up the middle section and the two played it for producer Walter Shenson. Two days later The Beatles would formally record the song. It was a rarity for an outsider to be allowed in the studio or control booth while The Beatles rehearsed and recorded. An exception was made for the director of the “A Hard Day’s Night” film, Richard Lester.

Lester was in the control booth and offered many suggestions during the morning while this key song was worked out, much to the dismay of producer George Martin. It was

Lester’s suggestion that the song open dramatically (as it would open the film), and fade out at the end in a cinematic way. He got his wish. George’s striking a G suspended 4th

chord on his 12-string Rickenbacker make this record instantly recognizable in its opening two seconds. Released as a single in the UK on July 10, 1964, it went straight

to #1. On U.S. album:

Lead vocal: Paul Recorded in two takes on February 17, 1965. Paul double-tracked his vocal and overdubbed a lead guitar solo, which is heard at the very end and during the

instrumental break. Lennon: “George and Paul are playing the same break exactly, both playing but in different octaves.” John Lennon plays the Hammond organ.

The Beatles - The Fool On The Hill - Magical Mystery Tour (EP)

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

Sitting alone at the piano, Paul McCartney recorded a mono two-track demo of “The Fool On the Hill” on September 6, 1967. A more proper recording would take place September 25. On the 25th three takes of the basic rhythm track were recorded,

including harmonicas played by John and George. Paul first brought the song to John’s attention in mid-March while the two were working on the lyrics for “With A Little Help From My Friends.” John said to write down the lyrics so he wouldn’t forget them. In the “Magical Mystery Tour” film you can see Paul (by himself) standing atop a hill near Nice,

France, during sunrise. The scene also includes ad-libs of Paul spinning, running and dancing, and close-ups of Paul’s moving eyes. It was an interesting trip for Paul as he forgot his wallet, passport and his money! They also didn’t have the correct camera

lenses. It ended up costing over 4,000 pounds to film the scene. Paul’s September 6 live piano/vocal solo demo can be found on the “Anthology 2” album.

I Call Your Name - Long Tall Sally EP


Composed by John Lennon and originally given to Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas to use as the b-side of another Lennon song (credited to Lennon-McCartney), “Bad to Me.” Both songs had been recorded at Abbey Road by Kramer and band on June 27, 1963,

with Paul McCartney in attendance. The Beatles’ version was recorded in seven takes on March 1, 1964. On U.S. album:

The Beatles’ Second Album - Capitol LP

John Lennon – Oh Yoko! – Imagine ‘71 Also originally composed in India in 1968, it was later finished for the Imagine

sessions. John brought out his harmonica for the first time since the mid-period Beatles days. It was also one of the most commercially viable songs, and

although EMI wanted this to be a single – John declined because it was “too sappy” for macho purposes.

The Beatles - Why Don’t We Do It In The Road? - The Beatles


Excepting a drum track played by Ringo Starr and added as an overdub a day later, “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?” is a Paul McCartney solo performance, recorded in

five takes on October 9, 1968. Playing an acoustic guitar, Paul started off each track tapping out the beat on the sounding board of his guitar. By the fifth and final take,

Paul’s ditty had turned into a raunchy rocker, showcasing McCartney’s gritty, top-flight voice. The “Anthology 3” album features a more restrained performance of the song. On

October 10, while John and George were involved in Studio Two with George Martin’s string overdubs for “Piggies” and “Glass Onion,” Paul invited Ringo to join him in Studio Three and lay down a drum track. Other overdubs included handclaps, additional vocals, and Paul playing his Rickenbacker bass guitar and an electric guitar part on his Epiphone

Casino.

The Beatles - Do You Want To Know A Secret – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: George

11

Recorded February 11, 1963. Written primarily by John Lennon for George Harrison to sing. The song was given to another Brian Epstein-managed act, Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas, to cover. Their version topped the British charts in late spring 1963. Inspired by "I'm Wishing," a song from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated film “Snow White and the

Seven Dwarfs” that Lennon’s mother used to sing to him when he was a child. On U.S. albums:

Lead vocals: John and Paul Recorded June 17, 1965 during the “Help!” sessions, the song was left unfinished when The Beatles had hit the deadline to submit the album. Five months later, as the deadline

to submit “Rubber Soul” was upon them, they grabbed the unfinished song, threw on some overdubs and decreed it finished. Specifically, they added a tone pedal guitar,

tambourine, maracas, and more vocals on November 11, 1965, the final day of recording for “Rubber Soul.”

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

The Beatles - If I Fell - A Hard Day’s Night

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John and Paul

John Lennon’s stunning ballad “If I Fell” was by far the most complex song he had written to date. It could be considered a progression from “This Boy” with its similar

chord structure and intricate harmonies by John and Paul, recorded – at their request – together on one microphone. Performed live on their world tour throughout the summer of 1964. Completed in 15 takes on February 27, 1964. Flip side of “And I Love Her” in

the U.S. On U.S. album:

A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP

Paul & Linda McCartney – Dear Boy – Ram ‘71 Although like, Too Many People and 3 Legs, Paul never intended this song to be about John Lennon. But nonetheless, John took it as another insult. According to Paul this was really an autobiographical tune about how thankful he was to have

had Linda in his life.

A country-influenced Lennon-McCartney rocker recorded on June 1, 1964. John Lennon says that he wrote it for “A Hard Day’s Night,” but the film’s director, Richard Lester,

didn’t like it and replaced it at the last minute with “Can’t Buy Me Love.” 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 by United Artists Records, included “I’ll Cry Instead” in its

song line-up. Released as a single in the U.S. on July 20, 1964. On U.S. album:

The Beatles - Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby - Beatles For

Sale (Perkins)

Lead vocal: George The second Carl Perkins cover song used for “Beatles For Sale,” “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby” had been a part of the Beatles’ early stage show. George Harrison provides

the lead vocal, his only lead vocal contribution on “Beatles For Sale.” Recorded in just one take on October 18, 1964. The song is notable for its heavy use of vocal echo.

Harrison performed this song live throughout the 1965 tours. On U.S. album:

The Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing - Revolver


John Lennon called this fan favorite “another of my throwaways...fancy paper around an empty box.” On another occasion he simply referred to it as “another horror.” The song, written primarily by John, is notable mainly for the twin guitar riffs -- played live without

overdubs by George Harrison and Paul McCartney -- that drive the song, and Paul’s distinctive bass notes at the end of the song. Lennon played the rhythm guitar in the D major position with the capo on the second fret to account for the song being in the key of E. John used the second fret capo several times ("Nowhere Man," "Julia," "Norwegian Wood," to name a few). Initial recording of the song commenced on April 20, 1966, with

two takes being completed. Take 2 was deemed the best and various overdubs were added. While recording vocals John and Paul got a case of the giggles and laughed their way through much of the song. That hilarious version can be found on the “Anthology 2” compilation. On April 26, the band decided to scrap the previous version and start

over from scratch, recording 11 takes. The term “bird” was British slang at the time for girl. Although Lennon never elaborated on the inspiration behind the lyrics, it is believed

to refer to the rivalry between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Although the two

19

groups were friends, Lennon saw the Stones as Beatles copyists, and the 'bird' in the title may have been Mick Jagger’s on-again, off-again girlfriend/muse Marianne Faithfull.

The working title of the song was “You Don’t Get Me.” “And Your Bird Can Sing” 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. "And Your Bird Can Sing" was used as the theme

song of The Beatles' cartoon series during its third season. On U.S. album:

Yesterday And Today - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Glass Onion - The Beatles


In 1980 John described “Glass Onion” as one of his “throwaways,” but the word play in the song is fascinating. Aside from many references to other Beatles songs, listeners were probably left guessing what Lennon meant by phrases such as “bent

backed tulips,” “cast iron shore,” and “dovetail joint.” Specifically the phrase “looking through the bent backed tulips to see how the other half lives” referred to a floral

arrangement on display at the posh London restaurant Parkes. The Cast Iron Shore is a name for Liverpool’s beach, and a dovetail joint is not a drug reference, but a type of construction wood joint. The title “Glass Onion” is British slang for monocle (or eye

piece), and was one of the names suggested by John for the Iveys, an Apple band that changed its name to Badfinger.

20

The Beatles - Oh! Darling - Abbey Road


Paul’s “Oh! Darling” had been run-through a few times during the “Get Back” sessions, but the first proper recording was at Abbey Road Studios on April 20, 1969. The backing track was recorded in 26 takes with Paul on Rickenbacker bass, John on piano, George

on Telecaster through a Leslie speaker and Ringo on drums. Paul’s lead vocal was recorded on April 26, but he was not happy with it. The band moved on to other songs. Paul would return to “Oh! Darling” in mid-July. He wanted to record his lead vocal in one single take when his voice was most gravelly. Engineer Alan Parsons: “Perhaps my main memory of the “Abbey Road” sessions is of Paul coming into Studio Three at two o’clock or 2:30 each afternoon, on his own, to do the vocal on ‘Oh! Darling.’ That was a feature

of the “Abbey Road” sessions. You rarely saw all four Beatles together. It was either John or Paul or George working on their various things, perhaps only getting together to her something back. But Paul came in several days running to do the lead vocal on ‘Oh! Darling.’ He’d come in, sing it and say, ‘No, that’s not it, I’ll try it again tomorrow.’ He only tried it once per day, I suppose he wanted to capture a certain rawness which

could only be done once before his voice changed. I remember him saying ‘five years ago I could have done this in a flash,’ referring, I suppose, to the days of ‘Long Tall

Sally’ and ‘Kansas City.’” McCartney made lead vocal attempts on July 17, 18, 22, and 23, and his July 23 lead vocal appears on the finished master. On August 8, Paul

overdubbed lead guitar and tambourine. Paul, John and George added backing vocals on August 11.

The Beatles - Something - Abbey Road

(Harrison)

23

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 of the

past 50 years".[7 .” 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.

The Beatles - Because - Abbey Road

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John, Paul and George

The group recorded 23 takes on August 1, 1969, with George Martin on a Baldwin spinet electric harpsichord matching note with John on his Epiphone Casino electric guitar and Paul on his Rickenbacker bass guitar. For the backing track Ringo kept the beat gently tapping out a beat on the hi-hat. This was for the musician’s headphones and was not recorded on the tape. Take 16 was deemed the best backing track and John, Paul, and George added their lush harmonies to it. On August 4, the three recorded their vocals

two more times, adding to the already thick layers of harmony. Lennon was inspired the write the song when he hear Yoko playing Beethoven’s piano sonata in C Sharp minor, opus 27 number two (aka “The Moonlight Sonata”). He asked her to play the chords backwards and wrote “Because” around that reversed chord sequence. The gorgeous three-part harmonies of “Because” are showcased on an a cappella mix of the song on

the “Anthology 3” album.

The Beatles - Get Back - album version - Let It Be (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul Paul’s “Get Back” had been rehearsed and reworked throughout the January 1969

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 heard on the single. That coda would be recorded the following day and edited on to the

January 27 master. For the album version, Phil Spector used the same January 27 “single” master performance, but added modifications to give the impression the song

was recorded during the rooftop concert. Spector’s album version begins with the instrumental and vocal warm-ups from the January 27 performance as well as some sound recorded on the rooftop on January 30. At the end of the song, instead of the

familiar January 28 coda, he cuts to the end of the rooftop performance, with what EMI engineers described in their notes as “cricket applause” and Paul saying, “Thanks, Mo”

(to Ringo’s wife Maureen for clapping the loudest), and Lennon’s famous quote: “I’d like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves. I hope we passed the audition.”
