The Beatles - Michelle - (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The basic backing track of this classic song was completed in one take on November 3, 1965. Various overdubs and double-tracking were added to complete the song the same day. Lennon is credited with coming up with the “I 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 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 , . 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 - ‘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

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 - - 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

The Beatles - - A Collection Of Oldies `66 (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ fourth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. With a July 1, 1963 recording date looming The Beatles knew their latest composition would be their next a-side: a song then entitled “Get You In the End,” shortened to “I’ll Get You” by the time it was released. But things changed on June 26, 1963. In a hotel room a few hours prior to a show in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, John and Paul sat facing each other on twin beds and proceeded to write from Paul’s suggestion. The song they created was “She Loves You.” The next day, having a rare day off from touring, John met up with Paul in the dining room of the McCartney’s Forthlin Road home to finish up the song.

I Call Your Name - Long Tall Sally EP (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Composed by and originally given to Billy J.

The Beatles’ version was recorded in seven takes on March 1, 1964. On U.S. album: The Beatles’ Second Album - Capitol LP

The Beatles - I Wanna Be Your Man – With The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Ringo When rejected “Little Child,” the song John and Paul had written for him to sing on the band’s second album, they created a similar song, but one that would be easier for Ringo to sing and more in his vocal range. “I Wanna Be Your Man” would be Ringo’s vocal contribution to the “With The Beatles” LP, and was often performed at Beatles concerts. The day before the song was to be recorded John and Paul were walking along Charing Cross Road in London when passing in a taxi were and . Paul McCartney: “They shouted from the taxi and we yelled, ‘Hey, hey, give us a lift, give us a lift,’ and we bummed a lift off them. So there were the four of us sitting in a taxi and I think Mick said, ‘Hey we’re recording. Got any songs?’ And we said, ‘Aaaah, yes, sure, we got one. How about Ringo’s song? You could do it as a single.’” John and Paul were invited to ’ rehearsal to audition their new, but still unfinished song. There Lennon told them, “If you guys really like the main part of the song, we’ll finish it for you right now,” and within minutes, they returned with the song finished on the spot. The Rolling Stones recorded the song and it became their first big British hit, peaking at number 12. The Beatles recorded their version of “I Wanna Be Your Man” the next day, September 11, 1963. The heard faintly in the mix is played by . On U.S. album: Meet The Beatles! - Capitol LP

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 . 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 “” single.

Wings –The Mess – Studio version 1972 The original working title of “The Mess” was “The Mess I’m In” and it was to appear as the last song on side 4 of the double album

The Beatles - - 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 “” 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.
