The Beatles - Here, There And Everywhere - Revolver
(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul
Written by Paul while sitting by the pool of John’s estate, this classic ballad was inspired by The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.” Completed in 14 takes spread over three sessions on June 14, 16 and 17, 1966. Paul’s lead vocal is double tracked. Paul, John, and George provide the lush harmony and Ringo drums using brushes. Both Paul and John called “Here, There And Everywhere” one of their favorite Beatles songs. Never performed by The Beatles in concert and only rarely performed by McCartney since.
On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP

The Beatles - In My Life - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney)
Lead vocals: John with Paul Recorded October 18, 1965 and written primarily by John, who called it his “first real
major piece of work.” Of all the Lennon-McCartney collaborations only two songs have really been disputed by John and Paul themselves -- “Eleanor Rigby” and “In My Life.” Both agree that the lyrics are 100% Lennon, but John says Paul helped on the musical bridge, while Paul recalls writing the entire melody on John’s Mellotron. The gorgeous
piano solo is provided by George Martin. To give his solo a harpsichord sound the producer played the piano at half speed and an octave lower so that when played at
regular speed it would be in the correct key for the song. 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
The Beatles – Something (Harrison) - Abbey Road - Recorded – April 16th 1969
- Released as a single in US on Oct. 6th 1969…George’s FIRST A Side on a Beatles single.
- Inspired by Pattie Harrison and written during the very end of the White LP sessions.
- George gave it to Joe Cocker a year before he recorded it with the Beatles.
- Frank Sinatra – “The greatest love song of the past fifty years”.

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
officially recorded. John and Paul took extra care to make sure their harmonies were perfect, likewise George, in reverence to the material, double-tracked his careful guitar work. This recording was special to the Beatles, and it shows. Recorded on October 18,
1964 in three takes. On U.S. album:

live worldwide TV program. It lasted 6 hours long, and seen in twenty Four countries by an estimatede 400 million people.
*****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.

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul
Written mainly by Paul with the middle eight by John it was released as a single in the U.S. reaching #12. Recorded initially as a heavier, up-tempo number on February 25, 1964, The Beatles attempted two takes and moved on to something else. On February 26 they struggled with the simpler, now acoustic arrangement through 12 more takes and Ringo swapping his drums for congas, ultimately leaving it to be re-made the next day. Finally, on February 27, they had the arrangement to their liking and perfected the
song in two completed takes (takes 20 and 21). On U.S. album:
A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP
Wings – Love in Song – Venus & Mars Written on a 12-string guitar, recorded from the late 1975 EMI sessions engineered by Geoff Emerick. Also on the track, Paul plays on his newly
purchased standup bass, once owned by Bill Black and used on some of Elvis Presley’s most famous records.
The Beatles - Love You To - Revolver
(Harrison) Lead vocal: George
George’s first composition written with Indian instruments in mind. The basic track was recorded in six takes on April 11, 1966. The song’s working title was “Granny Smith,” a reference to the name of the green apple popular in the UK. George’s lead vocal was
recorded on April 12. A harmony vocal by Paul was omitted in the final mix. The tabla is played by Anil Bhagwat, who is credited on the album’s back cover. It is assumed that
George Harrison plays the sitar on this track. The phrase “Love You To” does not appear in the song. The closest George comes to the title is “I’ll make love to you if you want
me to.” Two years later, the Granny Smith apple would become the logo for The Beatles’ company, Apple Corps, and would be featured on their record labels. With the exception of the “Let It Be” album issued in 1970, which had a red apple featured on the label, the standard Apple Records album and single labels displayed a bright green Granny Smith
apple on the A-side, while the flipside/Side 2 displayed the midsection of the apple cut in half.

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..

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul
Essentially a Paul McCartney solo composition. The first song performed on the live broadcast of “The Ed Sullivan Show” on February 9, 1964, and watched by a then-record 72 million viewers. McCartney has said it was the first song he ever wrote where he had the words before the music. Recorded in 13 takes on July 30, 1963. “All My Loving” is the most commercial Lennon-McCartney song recorded by The Beatles in 1963 that was not released as a single in the UK or U.S.

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.

written was “That’s a Nice Hat.” George Martin and his Orchestra recorded the instrumental version of “It’s Only Love” using the original title. In 1972 Lennon called
“It’s Only Love” “the one song I really hate of mine.” On U.S. album:

The Beatles - You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away - Help! (Lennon-McCartney)
Lead vocal: John Recorded in less than two hours on February 18, 1965. Written entirely by John Lennon, who freely admitted the obvious Bob Dylan influence. Lennon wrote this at Kenwood, his home on the St. George’s Hill estate in Weybridge, Surrey (where the Beatles would be photographed for the cover of their “Rubber Soul” album). John’s original lyric was “I
can’t go on feeling two foot tall,” but when singing it for Paul the first time he accidentally said, two foot “small.” Lennon then laughed and said, “Let’s leave it … all
those pseudes will really love it.” The first of their songs since “Love Me Do” in 1962 to feature an outside musician. Johnnie Scott provides the flute solo at the end of the
song, though he is not credited on the album jacket. On U.S. album:

‘76 Containing a lovely disco/reggae feel, Silly Love Songs was Paul’s answer to his critics (i.e. Lennon) for writing songs that were lightweight in nature. The song
was also released as a single with enormous success, reaching #1 in the US (#2 in the UK) and sold over a million copies in 1976.

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, Lennon-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,
