2 2 Playlist November 10 th AM The Beatles - Across The Universe - Let It Be (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Prior to leaving for an extended trip to India to study Transcendental Meditation in early 1968, the Beatles recorded several new songs to fill the sides of their upcoming single, which would be released while they were away. John had originally wanted his new composition, Across The Universe, for the A-side of the single but was still not happy with the mix of the song. When the Beatles sat down to decide which two of their new recordings should be used, John preferred Across the Universe remain on the shelf for the time being, giving Paul s more commercial Lady Madonna the A-side. Across The Universe was written entirely by John and was recorded February 4, 1968, in eight takes. Overdubs were recorded on February 8. Comedian and author Spike Milligan had been at Abbey Road when the group was working on the song and some months later inquired about it. He was surprised to learn that Across the Universe was sitting unreleased in EMI s vault, so Milligan asked Lennon to donate the song to a charity album he was organizing for the World Wildlife Fund. The Beatles - You Never Give Me Your Money - Abbey Road (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The famous Abbey Road medley begins with Paul s You Never Give Me Your Money, a song which itself consists of three segments. In Barry Miles Many Years From Now, 2

3 3 McCartney states that the first part of the song was him directly lambasting Allen Klein s attitude to us: no money, just funny paper, all promises and it never works out. It s basically a song about no faith in the person. The reference to funny paper was the numerous bank statements and other official looking documents that claimed they had stocks and bonds or money in various bank accounts, but to the band members it always seemed imaginary; they were rich on paper. The Beatles - For You Blue - Let It Be (Harrison) Lead vocal: George Recorded on January 25, 1969, and completed in six takes. John Lennon provides the lead guitar part playing a lap steel guitar and using a shotgun shell as a slide. Paul McCartney plays piano. Nearly a year later, on January 8, 1970, George Harrison rerecorded his lead vocal to the already completed backing track. During the instrumental break he ad-libbed go Johnny go and Elmore James got nothin on this baby to give the impression he was singing live with the band. Immediately prior to the start of the song, John can be heard saying "Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members." It is one of the few inclusions of film dialogue heard on the soundtrack LP. Written by George Harrison for his wife, Pattie, For You Blue was a straight-forward blues song. George: It's a simple 12-bar song following all the normal 12-bar principles, except that it's happy-go-lucky! For You Blue was the flip-side of the American The Long And 3

4 4 Winding Road single, released on May 11, A new mix of take six was made in 2003 for Let It Be... Naked and an alternative take from the January 25, 1969, session is included on the Anthology 3 album. Did ya notice No GO JOHNNY GO NO Elmore James ain t got nothing on this baby you know why Eng.

Written arranged, rehearsed and recorded in a 24 hour period on April 16 th, John Lennon double-tracked lead vocal, electric and acoustic rhythm guitars; Paul McCartney backing vocal, bass guitar; George Harrison lead guitar; Ringo Starr drums, bongos; George Martin piano The Beatles - What You re Doing - Beatles For Sale sessions (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Recorded in seven takes on October 26, The most problematic song in the sessions for Beatles For Sale. The Beatles tried different arrangements over three days and finally hit upon one they liked on the last day of recording for the album. Written primarily by Paul between August 31 and September 1, 1964 in Atlantic City during days off on the Beatles North American Tour. Paul provides the double-tracked lead vocal. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP The Beatles - I m Only Sleeping - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Written by John and Paul at Kenwood, John s estate in Weybridge, in one writing session. Recording of the backing rhythm track began at 11:30 p.m. on April 27, John recorded his lead vocal on April 29. Both the vocal and backing track were recorded at variable speed. It was during the recording of I m Only Sleeping that The Beatles discovered the backwards guitar. On May 5, 1966, as the band continued working on the song, George painstakingly transcribed the notes in his guitar solo and flourishes and then wrote them out backwards. He then played them in that reverse order. The tapes were then superimposed BACKWARDS in the mix, playing the solo notes and embellishments in the correct order, but maintaining the eerie backwards sound. I m Only Sleeping was one of three songs issued in America six weeks prior to their official release in the UK. American and Canadian Beatles fans heard I m Only Sleeping, And Your Bird Can Sing, and Doctor Robert first on Capitol Records 6

7 7 Yesterday And Today album, issued June 20, The rest of the world had to wait until the first week of August for them to appear on the Revolver LP. On U.S. album: Yesterday And Today - Capitol LP 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, 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 her excessive meditation and join the others on the trip / The Beatles - Can You Take Me Back - The Beatles (unlisted link track) (McCartney) (uncredited) Lead vocal: Paul On September 16, 1968, the Beatles recorded 67 takes of Paul s classic ballad I Will, with Paul on acoustic guitar, Ringo playing maracas and cymbals, and John on temple 7

8 8 blocks, tapping out a beat with wood on metal. George Harrison was not at this session. Not all 67 takes were complete run-throughs, and as Paul was still putting the finishing touches on the song, he would drift into other songs during the numerous takes. Of particular note was take 19, which included a 2:21 untitled song with lyrics along the lines of Can you take me back where I came from, can you take me back? Twentyeight seconds of this song were used as a link between Cry Baby Cry and Revolution #9 on Side 4 of the White Album. The song fragment is unlisted and uncredited, giving the impression it is part of Cry Baby Cry. The Beatles - Revolution SESSIONS Recorded: 9/10/11/12 July 1968 flip of Hey Jude John really wanted this to be the first Apple single but it was tough to beat out Hey Jude but it still made for one of the best singles in pop music history 9.43 BREAK 8

Paul McCartney lead vocal, organ, bass guitar; John Lennon backing vocal, lead guitar; George Harrison backing vocal, lead guitar; Ringo Starr drums This was the last song to be recorded for the Sgt Pepper LP. They were still trying to figure out how to close it, when Neil Aspinall suggested bringing back Sgt. Pepper s as a reprise. Shortly afterwards, he said, Lennon grinned sardonically, saying Nobody likes a smart-ass, Neil. And that s when I knew he liked it. The mono and stereo versions are slightly different because Paul s talking at the end is a little louder, and you can hear the audience and John talking none of which is on the stereo version Lead Vocal Paul McCartney 1.00 The Beatles A Day In The Life - Sgt.

They recorded it at the Pathe Marconi Studios, along with a couple of German-language versions of She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand.

21 21 The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles (Harrison) Rock Band Lead vocal: George In his book, I Me Mine, George explains that while visiting his parents he decided to create a song from the first thing he saw upon opening a book. George randomly opened a book and saw the phrase gently weeps. He put the book down and started writing lyrics. The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The first song recorded for what would become the Revolver album. John s composition was unlike anything The Beatles or anyone else had ever recorded. Lennon s vocal is buried under a wall of sound -- an assemblage of repeating tape loops and sound effects placed on top of a dense one chord song with basic melody driven by Ringo's thunderous drum pattern. The lyrics were largely taken from The Psychedelic Experience, a 1964 book written by Harvard psychologists Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, which contained an adaptation of the ancient Tibetan Book of the Dead. Each Beatle worked at home on creating strange sounds to add to the mix. Then they were added at different speeds sometime backwards. Paul got arranging credit. He had discovered that by removing the erase head on his Grundig reel-to-reel tape machine, he could saturate a recording with sound. 21

22 22 The Beatles - The Word - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John 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 piano, 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 BREAK B /The Beatles - All You Need Is Love - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles fifteenth single release for EMI s Parlophone label. Written by John Lennon especially for the first-ever worldwide television transmission. The epic event, a 6-hour program entitled Our World, featured segments linking 24 countries in 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 guitar solo 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 the evening of June

23 23 Guests in the studio during the performance included the Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the Who s Keith Moon, Eric Clapton, Marianne Faithfull, Donovan wore some groovy colorful mod clothing (man). On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP The Beatles - Hello Goodbye - Non-LP track (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles sixteenth single release for EMI s Parlophone label. 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 bass guitar on Oct. 25, and a second 23

24 24 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. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP The Beatles - And I Love Her - A Hard Day s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written mainly by Paul with the middle eight by John it was released as a single in the U.S. reaching #12. Recorded initially as a heavier, up-tempo number on February 25, 1964, The Beatles attempted two takes and moved on to something else. On February 26 they struggled with the simpler, now acoustic arrangement through 12 more takes and Ringo swapping his drums for congas, ultimately leaving it to be re-made the next day. Finally, on February 27, they had the arrangement to their liking and perfected the song in two completed takes (takes 20 and 21). On U.S. album: A Hard Day s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP George The Pirate Song - Rutland Weekend TV `75 The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul while in Rishikesh, India.

In Scott s native language, Ob la di ob la da is an expression meaning life goes on. Paul 24

John I m The Greatest - Anthology The Beatles - Girl - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Written primarily by John, the song was completed in two takes on November 11, 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.

During the April 11 flight back home he began writing lyrics for the title song and sketching out some ideas for the film. Upon his arrival in London, Paul pitched his idea to Brian Epstein who happily approved. Paul then met with John to go over the details and the two began work on the film s title track. The title track was written primarily by Paul but was not finished when McCartney brought the song in to be recorded on April 25, John helped with the missing pieces during the session.
