Various overdubs and double-tracking were added to complete the song the same day. Lennon is credited with coming up with the “I love you” middle eight section. The tune had been written by Paul several years earlier but he didn’t have proper lyrics until 1965. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - Girl - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John 10 11 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. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - Lady Madonna - Non-LP Track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles’ seventeenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. The last original issue Beatles 45 to appear on the Capitol swirl label in the U.S. or on the Parlophone label in the UK. Starting in the summer of 1968, Beatles recordings would be issued on their own record label, Apple Records. The Beatles did not leave EMI or Capitol, they simply had their own custom label, to which they could sign artists. The manufacturing and distribution would remain the same as before. In fact, in America, their releases continued to use Capitol album and single catalog numbering. George Harrison – Dark Sweet Lady - George Harrison ‘79 A tropical feel dominates this tribute to his lovely soon-to-be-wife, Olivia. The lyrics were dated February 28th, 1978 – which means this tune was also written in Hawaii. Wings – Little Woman Love It was composed by Paul in 1970 and recorded during the Ram Sessions but left of the album, then released as a single, although, in keeping with McCartney's practice at the time, the composition was officially credited to Paul and Linda 11 12 McCartney. While "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was dismissed by the critics, it climbed to the Top 10 in the United Kingdom In the United States, however, radio stations preferred to play "Little Woman Love" more frequently. As a result, the picture sleeve for "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was revised by Apple Records to have a separate listing for the flip side, as shown. However, the single only reached number 28 in the US. The Beatles - She Said She Said - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The rhythm track was finished in three takes on June 21, 1966, the final day of recording for “Revolver.” When the recording session started the song was untitled. The key line came from a real-life incident. On August 24, 1965, during a break in Los Angeles from their North American Tour, The Beatles rented a house on Mulholland Drive. They played host to notables such as Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds, actors and actresses, and a bevy of beautiful women, “From Playboy, I believe,” Lennon remembered. John, high on acid, found himself in a strange conversation with actor Peter Fonda, who kept coming up to him and whispering, “I know what it’s like to be dead.” As a child, Fonda had a near-death experience after accidentally shooting himself on the stomach. The song was a last-minute addition to the “Revolver,” rehearsed and recorded on the final day of sessions when the band discovered they were one song short. McCartney recalls getting into an argument with John and leaving the studio. He believes this is one of the only Beatle records he didn’t play on. It is assumed George played the bass in McCartney’s absence. John sings the lead vocal and plays the organ, and John and George double-tracked the backing vocals. On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP THIS WEEK IN BEATLES NEWS W/ JACKIE DESHANNON 10.28 BREAK 12 13 The Beatles - She Loves You - A Collection Of Oldies `66 (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ fourth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.
