8 9

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 -- “” 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 . 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 – Something (Harrison) - - 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. - The second most covered Beatles tune EVER…(Yesterday) - – “The greatest of the past fifty years”.

The Beatles - – LIVE at the BBC (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 “” 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 - Don’t Let Me Down - Non-LP B-Side

9 10

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ nineteenth single release for EMI, and second on the label. The “” 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 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 at their Apple headquarters. The master take was recorded on January 28, 1969. Like Paul McCartney’s “Get Back,” the song features on keyboards. 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. On U.S. album: Hey Jude - Capitol LP (1970)

The Beatles - Words Of Love - (Holly) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles idolized and performed his songs regularly as part of their club act.

With the exception of the “” 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.
