NOTES. Considering that track 6 was still unreleased in June 1963,
we have 4 "new" performances here, 3 of which never made it onto
disc. Track 3 is complete and in the best possible quality: three different
sources had to be used, and we apologise for the edits.

THE SONGS:
2. "A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues". The original version had been
released in March 1962 by Arthur Alexander as the flip side of another
R & B standard, "You Better Move On". It soon became very famous,
with many covers.They performed it twice more for the BBC. They
apparently learned it in Hamburg since John wrote from there in April 1962
to his then-girlfriend Cynthia Powell to "send me the words of
'A Shot of Rhythm + Blues' please? There's not many."
Lead vocal: John.
5. "Sure To Fall (In Love With You)". Another Carl Perkins song,
recorded in 1956. It was a favourite of the Beatles, who considered it for
release in 1964. Although it eventually was not included on their discs,
we know the Decca audition version and four more takes at the BBC.
Lead vocalist: Paul.
