BREX - it - Hello Goodbye - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles’ sixteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. 2

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 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. : Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP

Paul McCartney – The Pound Is Sinking - Tug of War ‘82 This was the product of two songs becoming one, the second track being “Hear Me Lover,” with both tracks being independently recorded on the same day. They were stitched together a week later. This also includes Denny on guitar

Live at the Apollo Theater, December 17th, 1971. From Anthology.

The Beatles - - Yellow Submarine (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ fifteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Written by especially for the first-ever worldwide television transmission. The epic event, a 6-hour program entitled “Our World,” featured segments linking 24 countries on 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 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. Overdubbing 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. Guests in the studio during the performance including the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the Who’s Keith Moon, , Graham Nash, Marianne Faithfull and Donovan wore colorful mod clothing. The 13 orchestra members wore formal evening attire. After the guests left the studio, additional overdubs were made to what was now take 58. Ringo added 4

the now-familiar snare drum roll to the song’s introduction and John re-recorded part of his vocal. The song was mixed for mono the following day and sent out to EMI for pressing. Surprisingly, the “All You Need is Love”/“Baby, You’re A Rich Man” single is the first instance of George Martin being given credit on the as producer on a Parlophone Beatles single. Brian Epstein: “This is an inspiring song because they wrote it for a worldwide program and they really want to give the world a message. It could hardly have been a better message. It’s a wonderful, beautiful, spine-chilling record. When you say ‘All You Need Is Love’ you are saying everything.” Issued July 7, 1967 in the UK and July 17, 1967 in the U.S. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Good Night - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Ringo Written by John Lennon for his then five-year-old son Julian, the lullaby was given to Ringo to sing on the “White Album,” and the song’s placement in the running order (it was chosen to close the double album) was perfect. Rehearsals and early takes feature just John on and Ringo on vocals. Five takes were recorded on June 28, 1968, and Ringo recorded a new lead vocal on July 2. On July 22, all previous takes of “Good Night” were overlooked and the song was recorded anew. First with a 26-piece orchestra, conducted by George Martin, providing the lush backing track, and then the sound of a choir, which was comprised of eight members of the Mike Sammes Singers. From 11:50 p.m. on July 22 until 1:40 a.m. Ringo recorded a new lead vocal. Thus, no Beatles play instruments on the song, and Ringo is the only Beatle that sings on it.

John Lennon – Isolation - Plastic Ono Band ‘70 A fabulous closer to side one of the Plastic Ono Band album, it shuts down cold one of the most emotionally draining sides ever created on an album. The track is nearly in mono, but the bass drum is in the left channel. The voice does go to a wide stereo picture in the middle-eight due to the panning of John’s double-tracked vocal. This particular track is considered to be Julian Lennon’s favorite of all his father’s songs.

The Beatles - Eight Days A Week - Beatles For Sale (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded primarily on October 6, 1964. It is the first instance of the Beatles taking an unfinished idea into the studio and experimenting with different approaches to a song. “Eight Days A Week” is the first pop song with a fade-in introduction. Written mostly by Paul, the title was taken from a line spoken by a limo driver. McCartney: “I was being driven over to visit John. The chauffeur was talking away to me, saying how hard his boss worked the staff, so hard that they seem to do eight days a week. We’ve altered the plot a bit for the song, of course. The bloke loves the girl eight days a week.” In later years John Lennon incorrectly referred to this title in interviews as the original working title for the film “Help!” The actual working title of “Help!” was “Eight Arms To Hold You.” On September 20, 1964 as the band and their entourage flew to their final North American Tour concert destination, the press corps on board the Beatles private plane witnessed from a distance, careful not to interrupt, the four Beatles huddled together working on a new song. John, Paul, and George on guitars and Ringo tapping his knees, and all humming the tune of what would become “Eight Days A Week.” Released as a single b/w “I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party” in the U.S. on February 15, 1965. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP 7

The Beatles - I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party - Beatles For Sale (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John and Paul Written primarily by John, who called it one of his favorites. Recorded in 19 takes (only five of which were complete run-throughs) on September 29, 1964. The B-side of the “Eight Days A Week” single in the U.S., issued February 15, 1965. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Good Day Sunshine - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul One of the fastest recorded tracks during the sessions for the “Revolver” album. The song, written primarily by Paul with assistance from John, was originally known as “A Good Day’s Sunshine,” and was recorded on June 8 and 9, 1966. McCartney said the song “was very much a nod” to the Lovin’ Spoonful’s 1966 hit “Daydream.” On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP 8

The Beatles - Think For Yourself - Rubber Soul (Harrison) Lead vocal: George The fifth original composition by to be recorded by The Beatles was completed on November 8, 1965 in one take with overdubs under the working title “Won’t Be There With You.” The song features Paul playing his bass through a fuzz box to give it a distorted sound. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP

The Beatles - The Word - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John 9

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 , 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. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP

Here are a few selections from the aforementioned long player….from the Beatles…not the George Martin Orchestra…unless you want some…(hit it)

The Beatles - Tell Me Why - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Completed in eight takes on February 27, 1964 in between “And I Love Her” and “If I Fell.” “Tell Me Why” was written primarily by John and was his attempt to mimic the New York girl group sound The Beatles were so fond of. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP

The Beatles - I’m Happy Just To Dance With You - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: George Written by John and Paul specifically to give George a song in the movie “A Hard Day’s Night.” Completed in four takes on March 1, 1964, with filming slated to begin the next day. The b-side of “I’ll Cry Instead” in U.S. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP

11

The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ seventh single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. The title is a Ringoism, coined by the drummer sometime in 1963 and used by John in his book “In His Own Write.” With the film nearly completed the last bit of business was to give the film a name. The project was being filmed with the working title “Beatlemania.” On April 13, 1964 The Beatles met with key personnel from the studio and bounced title ideas. It was felt they’d find no better suggestion than Ringo’s off- hand remark “it’s been a hard day’s night” and John volunteered to write the title song that evening. The next morning he brought the song in and taught it to Paul. Paul cleaned up the middle section and the two played it for producer Walter Shenson. Two days later The Beatles would formally record the song. It was a rarity for an outsider to be allowed in the studio or control booth while The Beatles rehearsed and recorded. An exception was made for the director of the “A Hard Day’s Night” film, Richard Lester. Lester was in the control booth and offered many suggestions during the morning while this key song was worked out, much to the dismay of producer George Martin. It was Lester’s suggestion that the song open dramatically (as it would open the film), and fade out at the end in a cinematic way. He got his wish. George’s striking a G suspended 4th chord on his 12-string Rickenbacker make this record instantly recognizable in its opening two seconds. Released as a single in the UK on July 10, 1964, it went straight to #1. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP

The Beatles - Back In The U.S.S.R. - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written while in India, Paul’s “Back In The U.S.S.R.” is based on Chuck Berry’s 1959 hit “Back In The U.S.A.,” but was written to mimic the classic sound of the Beach Boys. Beach Boys lead singer Mike Love was on the Transcendental Meditation sojourn in India with the Beatles in the spring of 1968 and as McCartney was working on his new song, Love suggested the lyrics about Ukraine and Moscow girls, similar to his lyrics in “California Girls.” Recording began on August 22, 1968, and it was during this session that officially quit the band. His departure was blamed on a disagreement with Paul over his drumming. Ringo flew to the Mediterranean to spend time on actor Peter Sellers’ yacht. It was there that he wrote “Octopus’s Garden.” On September 3, Ringo returned to the studio to find his smothered in flowers. Ringo: “I felt tired and discouraged … took a week’s holiday, and when I came back to work everything was all right again.” But Ringo added, “Paul is the greatest bass guitar player in the world. But he is also very determined; he goes on and on to see if he can get his 15

own way. While that may be a virtue, it did mean that musical disagreements inevitably arose from time to time.”

The Beatles - Dear Prudence - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded at Trident Studios’ 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 16

her excessive meditation and join the others on the trip.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Recording began on February 1, 1967 for what would become the title track of the new Beatles album. The song was written entirely by Paul McCartney. It was McCartney’s idea to give the Beatles alter egos -- they would become Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band -- for this album. Nine takes were attempted, two of which were complete run-throughs. For the first time ever an instrument (Paul’s bass guitar) was directly injected into the recording console instead of through an amplifier. Vocals were added the following evening, and the track sat for a month while the band worked on other material. The group returned to the title track on March 3 with the addition of four French horns played by outside musicians. Paul also came up with the idea of simulating a concert performance by the alter-ego band. The sound of the band warming up was taken from the February 10 orchestra session for “A Day In The Life.” Other effects (the crowd settling down, applause, and laughter) were taken from the vast Abbey Road tape archives. The screaming at the end of the song was taken from the Capitol- recorded Beatles concert at the Hollywood Bowl. On the “Sgt. Pepper” album the end of the title track segues into Ringo’s “With A Little help From My Friends.”

The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Ringo 17

The first instance on a Beatles album where one song segues into another without the usual few seconds of silence between the tracks. This was to give the listener the feeling of a continuous concert performance. Written on the afternoon of March 29, 1967 by Paul with help from John at Paul’s house on Cavendish Avenue in St. John’s Wood specifically as a song for Ringo Starr to sing on the new album. It was recorded that evening. Although he liked the song, Ringo refused to sing the original lyrics to the opening verse. Ringo: “The original first verse to that was ‘What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you throw a tomato at me?’ And I said, ‘I’m not singing that.’” John and Paul quickly changed the line to “Would you stand up and walk out on me?” The rhythm track was recorded in ten takes the same day Paul and John write the song, with Paul on piano, George on Hammond organ, John on guitar and Ringo on drums. Vocals were added as Take 11. Originally titled “Bad Finger Boogie.” The screaming at the beginning of the song was taken from the Capitol-recorded Beatles concert at the Hollywood Bowl. On the “Sgt. Pepper” album the end of the title track segues into “With A Little help From My Friends.”

The Beatles - Revolution - Non-LP Track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ eighteenth single release for EMI, their first on the Apple Records label. 18

John Lennon lobbied hard to get his magnificent rocker on the A-side of the band’s summer 1968 single, but by any standard, Paul’s “Hey Jude” was an unbeatable choice for the A-side. There are three versions of John’s “Revolution.” The first one recorded was the slower version which opens the fourth side of “The Beatles” and was released under the title “Revolution 1.” That track was the first song to be recorded for what would be known as the “White Album.” Ultimately, the song ran over 10 minutes. Much of it was cut out and used to create the sound collage entitled “Revolution 9,” which would also appear on side four of the new album. Shortly before his death in 1980, John explained the reason for the song’s remake into a fast rocker: Paul and George refused to allow the original slower recording to be released as the next Beatles single, fearing it was not upbeat enough. So Lennon decided they would record the song fast and loud. Recording began on the fast and loud single version of “Revolution” on July 10, 1968. Additional overdubs were added on July 11 and 12, and the final mix was completed on July 15. The single was issued on August 30, 1968, in the UK, and on August 26 in the U.S. The “Hey Jude”/“Revolution” single would go on to sell nearly five million copies in the U.S. and eight million copies worldwide. On U.S. album: Hey Jude - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Come Together - Abbey Road (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ twenty-first single release for EMI, and fourth on the Apple Records label. When John and Yoko were in Montreal staging their second and last Bed-In For Peace they were visited by Timothy Leary, an outspoken proponent of LSD. During their visit, Leary and his wife participated in John and Yoko’s hotel room recording of “Give Peace A Chance,” singing on the chorus. Timothy is even name-checked in the lyrics. He asked John to write a song titled “Come Together – Join The Party” for his bid to become governor of California. Lennon obliged and responded with lyrics such as: “Come together right now/Don’t come tomorrow, don’t come alone/Come together right now over me.” Lennon recorded a demo for Leary, who started using it as his campaign song. After being imprisoned for possession of marijuana in late 1969, Leary dropped out of the gubernatorial race, which was won by Ronald Reagan. Lennon reworked and expanded the song for the Beatles.

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

. The Beatles - Do You Want To Know A Secret – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) 24

Lead vocal: George Recorded February 11, 1963. Written primarily by John Lennon for George Harrison to sing. The song was given to another Brian Epstein-managed act, Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas, to cover. Their version topped the British charts in late spring 1963. Inspired by "I'm Wishing," a song from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” that Lennon’s mother used to sing to him when he was a child. On U.S. : Introducing… The Beatles - Vee-Jay LP The Early Beatles - Capitol LP

The Beatles - It Won’t Be Long – With The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The first original song recorded for their second album, “With The Beatles.” Composed primarily by John in July 1963 with the intention of writing a follow-up single to the as yet unreleased “She Loves You.” The lyrical similarity to the chorus of “She Loves You” (both songs contain the phrase “yeah, yeah, yeah”) was no accident. Beatles manager Brian Epstein had encouraged John and Paul to try to write songs that would appeal to the American market, specifically American teenagers. Soon American colloquial sayings and words started showing up in their songs. Ten takes were attempted on July 30, 1963 and the song was left unfinished. The group resumed work later that evening, in all logging 23 full or partial takes and edit pieces. It is the first original Beatles song with a call-and-response gimmick, with John and Paul alternating “yeah” throughout the song. The first song Neil Young performed live for an audience at his high school cafeteria in Canada. On U.S. album: Meet The Beatles! - Capitol LP

I Call Your Name - Long Tall Sally EP (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John 25

Composed by John Lennon and originally given to Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas to use as the b-side of another Lennon song (credited to Lennon-McCartney), “Bad to Me.” Both songs had been recorded at Abbey Road by Kramer and band on June 27, 1963, with Paul McCartney in attendance. 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 Need You - Help! (Harrison) Lead vocal: George Recorded in five takes on February 15, 1965, the first day of recording for what was to become the “Help!” album, with overdubs completed the next day. It is the second original George Harrison song to be recorded by the Beatles. Harrison wrote “I Need You” for his future wife, Pattie Boyd. The track is notable for the first use on a Beatles record of what is now known as a “wah-wah pedal.” George achieved this by playing his 12-string Rickenbacker through a foot-controlled volume pedal. Ringo provides cowbell percussion. On U.S. album: Help! - Capitol LP

The Beatles - For No One - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written entirely by Paul in March 1966 while on vacation with then-girlfriend Jane Asher at the Swiss ski resort of Klosters. The backing track was recorded in 10 takes on May 9, 1966 with only Paul (piano) and Ringo (drums) present. John and George do not perform on this song. Overdubs included Paul on clavichord, and Ringo on cymbals and maracas. Paul’s lead vocal was recorded on May 16. The baroque-style solo was credited to Alan Civil and recorded on May 19. Ringo’s original drum part was removed from the track in the reduction mixdown. The song was originally called “Why Did It Die?” Paul: “I was in Switzerland on my first skiing holiday. I'd done a bit of skiing in ‘Help!’ and quite liked it, so I went back and ended up in a little bathroom in a Swiss chalet writing ‘For No One.’ I remember the descending bass line trick that it's based on, and I remember the character in the song - the girl putting on her make-up.”

George Martin wrote down the understated melody that Paul sang to him, and created a French horn solo arrangement. Always pushing boundaries, Martin and McCartney decided to insert a top note into the score outside the instrument's normal range, in this case a high F. The song was admired by John Lennon, who, in 1980, described it as "one of my favorites of his - a nice piece of work." The distinctive chords were played by McCartney on George Martin's clavichord, brought in to Abbey Road from his house. Paul recorded this song again in 1984 for his “Give My Regards To Broad Street” film and soundtrack album. On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP 27

The Beatles - A Day In The Life - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (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 George Martin 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 Mal Evans 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 - When I’m Seventy -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.”
