The Beatles - - (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Prior to leaving for an extended trip to to study Transcendental in early 1968, 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 . 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 “” 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. Comedian and author had been at when the group was working on the song and some months later inquired about it. He was surprised to learn that “Across the Universe” was sitting unreleased in EMI’s vault, so Milligan asked Lennon to donate the song to a charity album he was organizing for the World Wildlife Fund.

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

(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 ’ “Many Years From Now,” McCartney states that the first part of the song was him “directly lambasting ’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 - - Let It Be sessions (Harrison) Lead vocal: George Recorded on January 25, 1969, and completed in six takes. provides the lead guitar part playing a lap steel guitar and using a shotgun shell as a slide. Paul McCartney plays piano. Nearly a year later, on January 8, 1970, re- recorded his lead vocal to the already completed backing track. During the instrumental break he ad-libbed “go Johnny go” and “Elmore James’ got nothin’ on this baby” to give the impression he was singing live with the band. Immediately prior to the start of the song, John can be heard saying "Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members." It is one of the few inclusions of film dialogue heard on the soundtrack LP. Written by George Harrison for his wife, Pattie, “For You Blue” was a straight-forward song. George: “It's a simple 12-bar song following all the normal 12-bar principles, except that it's happy-go-lucky!” “For You Blue” was the flip-side of the American “The Long And Winding Road” single, released on May 11, 1970. A new mix of take six was made in 2003 for “Let It Be... Naked” and an alternative take from the January 25, 1969, session is included on the “” album.

SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT EDITION OF BWTB

The Beatles - When I’m Sixty-Four - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul One of the oldest songs in the Beatles catalog, it was written by Paul McCartney when he was 15 or 16 and the Beatles had performed a variation of it in their pre-fame Cavern Club days whenever the amplifiers broke down. It was the second song recorded for the “Sgt. Pepper” LP (following “Strawberry Fields Forever”), but when “Strawberry Fields Forever” was pulled for release as a single, Paul’s “When I’m Sixty-Four” became the first song recorded for the album that ended up on the album. The initial rhythm track was finished in two takes on December 6, 1966, and consisted of Paul on guide vocal, bass and piano, John on guitar, and Ringo on drums with brushes. On December 8, Paul recorded his lead vocal, on December 20, John, Paul and George recorded backing vocals and Ringo played bells. Although John helped with a few lyrics for the official recording of Paul’s childhood song, he was later quoted as saying, “I would never even dream of writing a song like that.”

The Beatles – Good Morning Good Morning - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band AT THE FARM SESSIONS Recorded Feb. 8th 1967 Based on a Cornflakes TV commercial John heard while sitting at the piano and feeling a bit “stuck” trying to write something for Sgt. Pepper. Paul plays one of the guitar solos w/ his right-handed Fender Esquire. Musicians: John Lennon – double-tracked lead vocal, rhythm guitar; Paul McCartney – backing vocal, lead guitar, bass guitar; George Harrison – backing vocal, lead guitar; – drums, tambourine; Barrie Cameron, David Glyde and Alan Holmes – saxophones; John Lee and another unknown player – trombones; Unknown player (Tom someone) – French horn Lead vocal John Lennon 1.00

The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band EARLY IN SESSIONS Recorded Feb.1st 1967 Mono mix includes the audience sounds beginning more sharply, the drum intro is 4 beats longer, and there are some words spoken by John as well as some audience laughter ALL of which are missing from the stereo mix. Paul sings a verse at the end, but it can barely be heard on the stereo version.

Musicians: Paul McCartney – lead vocal, organ, bass guitar; John Lennon – backing vocal, lead guitar; George Harrison – backing vocal, lead guitar; Ringo Starr – drums This was the last song to be recorded for the Sgt Pepper LP. They were still trying to figure out how to close it, when suggested bringing back ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ as a reprise. Shortly afterwards, he said, Lennon grinned sardonically, saying ‘Nobody likes a smart-ass, Neil’. And that’s when I knew he liked it. The mono and stereo versions are slightly different because Paul’s talking at the end is a little louder, and you can hear the audience and John talking – none of which is on the stereo version Lead Vocal Paul McCartney 1.00

The Beatles - A Day In The Life - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band sessions (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: John and Paul Work began on January 19, 1967, for what is quite possibly the finest Lennon- McCartney collaboration of their songwriting career. On this evening, following some rehearsal, Lennon rolled tentatively through four takes, drawing a road map for the other Beatles and to follow. Lennon on vocals and Jumbo acoustic guitar, McCartney on piano, Harrison on maracas and Starr on congas. Sections were incomplete and to hold their space stood by a microphone and counted from one to 24, marking the time. To cue the end of the middle eight overdub section an alarm clock was sounded. There was no Paul McCartney vocal yet, merely instruments at this point where his contribution would be placed. On January 20, Paul added his section, which he would re-recorded on February 3. Lennon told Beatles biographer Hunter Davies that the first verse was inspired by a story in the January 17, 1967, edition of the Daily Mail about the car accident that killed Guinness heir Tara Browne. John: “I didn’t copy the accident. Tara didn’t blow his mind out, but it was in my mind when I was writing that verse.” The second verse was inspired by Lennon’s work on Richard Lester’s film “How I Won The War.” According to Paul, the third verse came from a Daily Mail article published on January 7, 1967, about 4,000 potholes in the streets of Blackburn, Lancashire.

The Beatles - – Take 4 (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles’ eighteenth single release for EMI, the first on the label. Paul McCartney’s masterpiece. The 7 minute, 11 second track was the longest released by the Beatles up until that time, and the song broke wide open the usual two to three minute mold that had long been the standard for pop singles. Paul got the idea for the song while driving to visit Cynthia and Julian Lennon. He wrote the lyrics as a message of encouragement to young Julian while his parents were in the throes of a very public separation. Paul wanted to stay friends, so he planned a visit. Cynthia was still living in John’s Kenwood estate, and since Paul usually wrote songs on the way there to collaborate with his writing partner, he fell into the same routine. Paul: “I started with the idea ‘Hey Jules,’ which was Julian, don’t make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Hey, try and deal with this terrible thing. I knew it was not going to be easy for him. I always feel sorry for kids in divorce. The adults may be fine but the kids … I had the idea by the time I got there. I changed it to ‘Jude’ because I thought that sounded a bit better.”

The Beatles - Do You Want To Know A Secret – sessions – FINAL CHORD Feb.11th 1963 Written by John Lennon & given away to Billy J. Kramer and to George Harrison who sing lead vocal’s on, and inspired by a line from a Disney song his Mom used sing. Musicians:

George Harrison – lead vocal, lead guitar; John Lennon – backing vocal, rhythm guitar; Paul McCartney – backing vocal, bass guitar; Ringo Starr – drums

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

10 11

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 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)

John Lennon – lead vocal, rhythm guitar; Paul McCartney – harmony vocal, bass guitar; George Harrison – harmony vocal, lead guitar; Ringo Starr – drums, tambourine The working title for this was ‘You Don’t Get Me’, and John later dismissed it as a horror, which seems a bit harsh.

The Beatles - It’s Only Love- Help! (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded in six takes on June 15, 1965. The first Beatles song to include a reference to getting “high” (“I get high when I see you go by”). The working title prior to lyrics being 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: - Capitol LP

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

13 14

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 suggested to Paul that an acoustic 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.

Paul McCartney & Wings – Let Me Roll It –One Hand Clapping 1974/ A fine piece of McCartney song-writing, critics felt that song was incredibly Lennonesque, with similarities to John’s Plastic Ono phase. This became a staple of Paul’s live shows and is one of his best solo efforts.

B /The Beatles - All You Need Is Love - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ fifteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Written by John Lennon especially for the first-ever worldwide television transmission. The epic event, a 6-hour program entitled “Our World,” featured segments linking 24 countries in five continents via satellite, with a potential of 400 million viewers. The Beatles were honored to be invited to represent Great Britain in the program. For the event, they would premiere a brand new song written just for the occasion. John Lennon’s “All You Need Is Love” became the anthem of 1967, the summer of love. To decrease the chances of an on-air foul-up, George Martin had the Beatles play to their own pre-recorded rhythm track. Only the vocals, bass guitar, lead guitar solo in the middle eight, drums and orchestra would be live. Recording began on June 14, 1967 at Olympic Studios. In all, 33 takes of the basic rhythm track and a few vocals were completed this evening. the lead and backing vocals took place on June 19. The orchestra was recorded for the first time on June 23. On June 24, the day before the event, it was decided that “All You Need Is Love” would be issued as the new Beatles single as soon as possible after the program aired the evening of June 25. Guests in the studio during the performance included the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, ’s Keith Moon, , Marianne Faithfull, Donovan wore some groovy colorful mod clothing (man). On U.S. album: - Capitol LP

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. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP

The Beatles - And I Love Her - A Hard Day’s Night (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).

The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul while in Rishikesh, India. In Barry Miles’ “Many Years From Now” Paul recalls walking through the Indian jungle near the Maharishi’s compound with his guitar singing “Ob-La,Di, Ob-La, Da, life goes on, bra,” taking the phrase from Jimmy Scott, a Nigerian conga player who had been a part of the London music scene since the 50s. In Scott’s native language, “Ob la di ob la da” is an expression meaning “life goes on.” Paul created characters for his story - Desmond and Molly and their barrow in a Caribbean marketplace. A barrow is a cart or small vehicle used to carry a load and pulled or pushed by hand.

The Beatles - Girl - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Written primarily by John, the song was completed in two takes on November 11, 1965. The song is notable for the naughty backing vocal (Paul and George repeating the word “tit”) and John’s heavy breathing during his vocal. John called this one of his best.

The Beatles - - The Beatles sessions (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded at ’ eight-track recording facilities on August 28, 29, and 30, 1968. Ringo Starr had quit the band temporarily and the three remaining Beatles moved forward with sessions for the new album. John Lennon’s “Dear Prudence” features Paul McCartney on drums. The guitar picking which opens and runs through the song is supplied by John on his Epiphone Casino. The finger-picking style was taught to him by folk singer Donovan earlier in the year while they were in India. George Harrison plays his Gibson Les Paul guitar and overdubbed a distorted Fender Telecaster lead guitar part. In addition to his drumming, Paul plays his Rickenbacker bass guitar, provides the piano track and a very short burst of flugelhorn. John wrote the song in Rishikesh, India, for Prudence Farrow, sister of the actress Mia Farrow, who had cordoned herself off in a hut to meditate for hours on end. Lennon’s song was a plea for her to take a break from her excessive meditation and join the others on the trip.

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever – Take 1 Recorded Nov/ Dec. 1966 Written in Spain while John was filming “How I Won The War” 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

The Beatles - - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John 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 ’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 .

The Beatles - - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The first song recorded for what would become the “Revolver” album. John’s composition was unlike anything The Beatles or anyone else had ever recorded. Lennon’s vocal is buried under a -- an assemblage of repeating tape loops and sound effects – placed on top of a dense one chord song with basic melody driven by Ringo's thunderous drum pattern. The lyrics were largely taken from “The Psychedelic Experience,” a 1964 book written by Harvard psychologists Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, which contained an adaptation of the ancient “Tibetan Book of the Dead.” Each Beatle worked at home on creating strange sounds to add to the mix. Then they were added at different speeds sometime backwards. Paul got “arranging” credit. He had discovered that by removing the erase head on his Grundig reel-to-reel tape machine, he could saturate a recording with sound. 1st UK mono pressings of Revolver had a slightly different mix of this song

The Beatles - Octopus’s Garden - Abbey Road Sessions (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 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.

George Harrison – Devil’s Radio - Cloud Nine ‘87 This track was inspired “by a saying on a placard at a little church” near where George’s son Dhani went to school. The placard stated “Gossip – the Devil’s radio – don’t be a broadcaster.” Musically, the track was inspired by the Eurythmics, a rare example of George bowing to a current musical trend. Elton John makes an appearance, as does Eric Clapton.

The Beatles - - Yellow Submarine (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John In early February 1968, the Beatles were on a tight schedule. They had two weeks to audition and record possible songs for their next single, which would be released while they were away on an extended trip to India where the group would meditate with Maharishi Mahesh . In addition to picking the single sides they would need to spend a day with a film crew making a short promotional film for the song. The Paul McCartney-penned “Lady Madonna” was chosen as the A-side and would be the subject of the promo film. On the last weekend of recording, the Beatles were informed they were one song short of the four new songs needed for “Yellow Submarine,” and a new song had to be recorded before they left for India. The song shortage was due to “Baby, You’re A Rich Man,” which had been earmarked for the film soundtrack, being used as the B-side of the “All You Need Is Love” single.
