Paul McCartney – I Lost My Little Girl (Lennon/McCartney) –

The Beatles - I’ll Be Back - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Recorded in 16 takes on June 1, 1964. “I'll Be Back” was written mostly by John Lennon, and was a reworking of the chords to Del Shannon's 1961 hit “Runaway.” Beatles fans in

America would have to wait five months to hear this exquisite Beatles song, one of

3

Lennon finest compositions, because Capitol Records held it off their “Something New” album and released it on “Beatles ‘65” in December 1964.

On U.S. album: Beatles ‘65 - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Things We Said Today - A Hard Day’s Night

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

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. On U.S. album:

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.

The Beatles - For No One - Revolver

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

Written entirely by Paul in March 1966 while on vacation with then-girlfriend Jane Asher at the Swiss ski resort of Klosters. The backing track was recorded in 10 takes on May 9,

1966 with only Paul (piano) and Ringo (drums) present. John and George do not perform on this song. Overdubs included Paul on clavichord, and Ringo on cymbals and maracas. Paul’s lead vocal was recorded on May 16. The baroque-style French horn solo

was credited to Alan Civil and recorded on May 19. Ringo’s original drum part was removed from the track in the reduction mixdown. The song was originally called “Why Did It Die?” Paul: “I was in Switzerland on my first skiing holiday. I'd done a bit of skiing in ‘Help!’ and quite liked it, so I went back and ended up in a little bathroom in a Swiss

chalet writing ‘For No One.’ I remember the descending bass line trick that it's based on, and I remember the character in the song - the girl putting on her make-up.”

The Beatles - I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party - Beatles For

Sale (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John and Paul Written primarily by John, who called it one of his favorites. Recorded in 19 takes (only five of which were complete run-throughs) on September 29, 1964. The B-side of the

“Eight Days A Week” single in the U.S., issued February 15, 1965. On U.S. album:

Paul & Linda McCartney - Another Day

Also written around the “Let it Be” sessions, this was a similar narrative to Eleanor Rigby, again dealing with a lonely woman. This was specifically

referenced in John’s “How Do You Sleep” on the Imagine album.

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 and Edward Heath 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 - Blackbird - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul Another Paul McCartney solo performance for the “White Album.” Paul wrote “Blackbird” at his Scottish farm house and the song was started and finished in 32 takes, 11 being

complete run-throughs of the song, on June 10, 1968. Paul has said the music was inspired by Bach’s “Bourree in E Minor,” which he learned to play at a young age. The

tapping sound on the recording is not a metronome. The percussion-like sound keeping the beat is actually Paul tapping his foot on the studio floor, which was separately miked

onto one of the tracks. Paul has since revealed that the song was a message of solidarity to black people living in the U.S.

“Blackbird” is one of only five Beatles songs Paul chose to perform live during his “Wings

Over America” concert tour in 1976.

The Beatles - Across The Universe - Let It Be

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John

Prior to leaving for an extended trip to India to study Transcendental Meditation in early 1968, the Beatles recorded several new songs to fill the sides of their upcoming single,

which would be released while they were away. John had originally wanted his new composition, “Across The Universe,” for the A-side of the single but was still not happy with the mix of the song. When the Beatles sat down to decide which two of their new

recordings should be used, John preferred “Across the Universe” remain on the shelf for the time being, giving Paul’s more commercial “Lady Madonna” the A-side. “Across The

Universe” was written entirely by John and was recorded February 4, 1968, in eight takes. Overdubs were recorded on February 8.

The Beatles - You Never Give Me Your Money - Abbey Road

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

The famous “Abbey Road” medley begins with Paul’s “You Never Give Me Your Money,” a song which itself consists of three segments. In Barry Miles’ “Many Years From Now,”

McCartney states that the first part of the song was him “directly lambasting Allen Klein’s attitude to us: no money, just funny paper, all promises and it never works out. It’s basically a song about no faith in the person.” The reference to “funny paper” was the numerous bank statements and other official looking documents that claimed they had stocks and bonds or money in various bank accounts, but to the band members it

always seemed imaginary; they were rich on paper.

The Beatles - Tell Me Why - A Hard Day’s Night

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John

Completed in eight takes on February 27, 1964 in between “And I Love Her” and “If I Fell.” “Tell Me Why” was written primarily by John and was his attempt to mimic the

New York girl group sound The Beatles were so fond of. On U.S. album:

The Beatles - Can’t Buy Me Love - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney)

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 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. On U.S. album:

A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Hey Jude - Apple LP (1970)

The Beatles - Any Time At All - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John 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.

Wings.

The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles (Harrison)

Lead vocal: George In his book, “I Me Mine,” George explains that while visiting his parents he decided to

create a song from the first thing he saw upon opening a book. George randomly opened a book and saw the phrase “gently weeps.” He put the book down and started

writing lyrics.

The first proper recording of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” took place on July 25, 1968. Nearly two months into recording the Beatles’ new album, this was George’s first chance to record some of his new material. George: “I always had to do about ten of

12

Paul and John’s songs before they’d give me the break.” On this first day George recorded several rehearsals and one proper take. At this stage, “While My Guitar Gently

Weeps” was an acoustic song, with George’s solo vocal and some organ overdubbed near the end that ran 3:13 and had a final verse not found in the final version. This

exquisite “take 1,” which was a demo for the other Beatles, is one of the highlights of the “Anthology 3” album. George would continue working on the song at home, and

eventually re-imagined the song as a rocker. On August 16, the full band revisited the song, making 14 takes of a rhythm track

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:

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

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

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

Lead vocal: Paul

16

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 - And Your Bird Can Sing - Revolver

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John

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 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:

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

Written by Paul at the Asher family home on Wimpole Street. Paul had the tune prior to coming up with the lyrics and originally named the song “Auntie Gin’s Theme” because his aunt liked it. George Martin’s instrumental “Help!” album includes an orchestrated version of “I’ve Just Seen A Face” using the title “Auntie Gin’s Theme.” Recorded in six

takes at the same June 14, 1965 McCartney-dominated session that produced “Yesterday” and “I’m Down.” One of only five Beatles songs Paul chose to perform live

on his Wings Over America tour in 1976. On U.S. album:

Rubber Soul - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Octopus’s Garden - Abbey Road

(Starkey) Lead vocal: Ringo

“Octopus’s Garden” is Ringo Starr’s second solo composition in the Beatles catalog, credited to his real name, Richard Starkey. He got the idea for the song after he

abruptly “quit” the group for one week during the making of the “White Album, in August 1968. He traveled to Sardinia on the Mediterranean and spent time on actor Peter Seller’s yacht. On board, Ringo was told that octopus go around the ocean bed

and pick up stones and shiny objects and build gardens in front of their caves. The still unfinished song was played for George on January 26, 1969. This segment was shown

in the “Let It Be” film. A proper rerecording of the song took place on April 26. The group went through 32 takes with Ringo on drums and guide vocal, George on his

Stratocaster through a Leslie speaker, John on Epiphone casino electric guitar and Paul

19

on Rickenbacker bass guitar. Overdubs were recorded on July 17 and 18 with Ringo’s lead vocal with ADT (artificial double tracking), Paul adding piano and more drums, and backing vocals from Paul, George and Ringo. During the instrumental break Ringo can

be heard blowing through a straw into a glass of water for bubbling sounds.

The Beatles - Two Of Us - Let It Be

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: Paul and John

A Paul McCartney solo composition originally entitled “On Our Way Home.” Thought by many to be a song about John and Paul, "Two of Us" is actually a song written by Paul

about himself and his soon-to-be wife, Linda Eastman. The lyrics are derived from various experiences where the two would get in the car with Paul's dog, Martha, and just drive in the countryside until they were lost. One particular day, Linda parked the car and went for a walk with her camera and Paul sat in the car and wrote the basic tune for the song. Paul introduced the song to the other Beatles during the January

1969 sessions in which the group was working up seven or eight new songs to include in a one-hour concert television special. At this time, “On Our Way Home” was not the Everly Brothers-styled acoustic version heard on the released album. Both John and producer Glyn Johns suggested to Paul that an acoustic arrangement might suit the

song better, but McCartney was thinking in terms of how it might play in the concert TV special, so he wanted a fast song. On January 24, after numerous run-throughs that

seemed to go nowhere, John again suggested they try it with acoustic guitars, and Paul agreed. The line-up was Paul on his Martin D-28 acoustic guitar, John on acoustic guitar, George on his Fender Telecaster (playing a bass part on the top strings) and Ringo on

drums. The first performance with acoustic guitar featured a solo John vocal on the first verse. For the mixes submitted to Apple, Glyn Johns selected a January 24 take of the

song (one without Lennon’s whistling at the end of the song). One of these non-whistling takes can be heard on the “Anthology 3” album. The version found on the “Let It Be” was the second performance of three (numbered Takes 10, 11, 12) on January

23

31. This is the performance shown in the “Let It Be” film. John’s opening dialog (“‘I Dig A Pygmy’ by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf-aids. Phase one in which Doris gets her

oats”) followed Ringo hitting his snare drum was recorded before the group played “I Dig A Pony” on January 21. Charles Hawtrey was a British actor and deaf-aids is British slang for hearing aids. American Beatles fans got their first glimpse of a bearded Paul McCartney and the Beatles performing “Two Of Us” when a clip of the song as seen in

the “Let It Be” film was shown on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on March 1, 1970.
