Lengths of the Beatles' Songs
Tatsuki Koyama, PhD Lengths of the Beatles’ Songs Department of Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University Introduction The Beatles released 211 songs, give or take, from their debut single Love Me Do (released October 5, 1962) to their final studio album Let It Be (May 8, 1970), in the space of just Revolution 9 ● under eight years. This plot shows length versus release date of each of their songs. All release dates are for the UK market. 8 Data and Notation The closed circles indicate songs included on their 12 studio albums, the titles and release dates of which appear in the abscissa. The Beatles also released 44 songs as singles, shown I Want You (She's So Heavy) ● here with open circles. Sixteen songs were released twice each, both as a single and as part of an album; all of these pairs are identical in both versions except for “Get Back” and “Let It Be”. “Yellow Submarine” was released three times: first as a single and on Revolver (both on August 5, 1966), and later on Yellow Submarine (January 17, 1969). The studio albums and singles encompass all but ten of their songs. Two of their 13 extended play albums (EPs), Long Tall Sally and Magical Mystery Tour, consist of songs that were never released elsewhere. A total of nine songs from these two EPs are also shown in the plot as open circles. Magical Mystery Tour includes “I am the Walrus”, which is not shown Hey Jude ● in the plot because it was previously released as a single. One song was never a part of any studio album, single, or EP: “Bad Boy” was released on December 10, 1966, on a 7 compilation album, A Collection of Beatles Oldies, with 15 other songs, all of which were previously released.

Special Guests the Smithereens
1 Special Guests The Smithereens 1 2 9AM The Beatles - I Want You (She’s So Heavy) - Abbey Road (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles, with Billy Preston on keyboards, and with Glyn Johns as producer, recorded 35 takes at Trident Studios on February 22, 1969. From that session, take 9 was the best for the early part of the song, take 20 had the best middle eight, and take 32 was the best for the rest. The three “best” sections were edited into one all-encompassing master take. On April 18, at Abbey Road Studios, without Preston, and with Chris Thomas producing, John and George overdubbed layers of guitar parts onto the Trident “best” take, and a reduction mixdown was made, called “take 1.” Overdubs were added onto that. More overdubs followed on April 20. Fast forward to August 8. Now with George Martin producing, John overdubs sounds from the white noise generator of Harrison’s Moog synthesizer which produced the swirling, gale-force wind effect for the last three minutes of the song, and Ringo adds more drums (mostly crash cymbals). To complicate things, the group has been adding overdubs to two different master tapes of the song, so the best of each master is edited together to create the final album version of the song. The final album master has “take 1” for the first 4:37 and the original Trident tape for the remaining 3:07. The final album master of John’s sprawling song ran 8:04, but John opted for a surprise ending.
