NOTES. The best of the BBC Beatles performances! Of the nine songs recorded for this show, seven were never to appear on a Beatles disc; five of these have been transmitted (luckily those which were not taped on other BBC sessions), while "Sweet Little Sixteen" was re-recorded for the next programme of the series. "Three Cool Cats" had an unfortunate fate at the BBC: it was taped twice (the first time during the recording session for Here We Go, January 25, 1963) but never broadcast; we only know it from the Decca session.

THE SONGS:
2. "That's All Right" was Elvis Presley's first single, released back in 1954. As with the other classics broadcast in this programme, this is the only BBC version ever taped by the Beatles. Lead vocalist, much in Presley's style, is Paul.
4. "Carol". A rock'n'roll song written by Chuck Berry and released in 1958. As is often the case with Berry's repertoire, the group adheres closely to the original while John sings a very spirited vocal.
5. "Soldier Of Love ". An intriguing song by Arthur Alexander, released in 1962, and a powerful interpretation by John. Also excellent is Ringo's drumming.
6. "Lend Me Your Comb". A Carl Perkins tune released in the U.K. in 1958 and also included on the Hamburg December 31, 1962 tape. Lead vocal is shared by John & Paul.
7. "Clarabella". This song was released by the Jodimars in 1956, but failed to have any particular success on either side of the ocean. It is thus somewhat surprising that the Beatles played their own version of this number which was probably completely unknown to their audience. Nevertheless, it's a great performance by Paul.
