From the original master recording digitally remasted . THE BEATLES SESSIONS (STEREO) From the original master recording digitally remasted. COME AND GET IT 2:26 (Paul McCartney); Lead Vocal: Paul Recorded in Studio 2 Abbey Road on July 24, the same day as "Sun King". This song was given to the Apple band Badfinger and became their first hit in 1970. It was also featured in the movie "The Magic Cristian" which starred Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr. LEAVE MY KITTEN ALONE 2:54 (John/Turner/McDougal); Lead Vocal: John Recorded in Studio 2 Abbey Road on August 14, 1964, during the sessions for the "Beatles for Sale" album. This late 50's rocker was also previously recorded by, amongst others, Little Willie John and Johnny Preston. NOT GUILTY 3:17 (Harrison); Lead Vocal: George This track, recordet on August 8 1968 in Abbey Road Studio 2, was intended for release on the "White Album" in November 1968 but never made it onto the final album. It has long been rumoured that a certain well-known guitarist featured on this recording. Incidentally, George re-recorded a gentler version of this song on his 1979 "Dark Horse" album "George Harrison". I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU 2:56 (Lennon/McCartney); Lead Vocal: Paul The final version of this song appeared on "Rubber Soul" album in December 1965. This is take one, recorded on October 24 that year, again in Studio 2. Although this version is longer than the one on the album, the "bridge", or middle part of the song, does not appear - probably because it had not been written at the time. |
WHAT'S TNE NEW, MARY JANE? 6:06 (Lennon/McCartney); Lead Vocal: John Like George's "Not Guilty", this track was also recorded during the "White Album" sessions (in Studio 2) on August 14, 1968. However, it was again emitted from the final album. HOW DO YOU DO IT 1:56 (Mitch Murray); Lead Vocal: John Recorded on September 4, 1962, the same date as the original commercial version of "Love Me Do", with Ringo drumming. Much has been written about the group deliberately performing this song badly in order to have their own song chosen as the second single, but as this track was recorded month before the release of "Love Me Do", this theory would appear to be somewhat far-fatchet. This song was later recorded by Gerry and the Pacemakers and became their first Number One in the UK. BESAME MUCHO 2:33 (Velazquez/Wilson/Skylar); Lead Vocal: Paul On June 8 1962 the Beatles recorded for the first time at EMI's Abbey Road studios. At this stage the group consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and on drums Pete Best. Four titles were recorded - early versions of "Love Me Do", "P. S. I Love You", "Ask Me Why" plus "Besame Mucho". The song, wich dates back to the thirties, was revised in the late fifties and had long been part of the Beatles stage set. It was included in their audition for Decca in January 1962. ONE AFTER 909 2:53 (Lennon/McCartney); Lead Vocal: John and Paul Despite being on of the earliest Lennon /McCartney compositions. "One After 909" didn't make it onto vinyl until 1970 when it was included on the "Let It Be" album. This version, however, was recorded on March 5 1963, the same day as this takes of "From Me To You" and "Thank You Girl". IF YOU'VE GOT TROUBLES 2:21 (Lennon/McCartney); Lead Vocal: Ringo This peviously unreleased Lennon/ McCartney original was recorded on on February 18, 1965 during sessions for the "Help" album. It was no doubt intended as Ringo's vocal contribution on the album, but was ultimtely replaced by "Act Naturally". THAT MEANS A LOT 2:27 (Lennon/McCartney); Lead Vocal: Paul Recorded on February 20, 1965 during sessions for the "Help" album. The track was given to P. J. Proby and he had a minor hit with his version later that year. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS 3:21 (Harrison); Lead Vocal: George Recorded on July 25 1968, this version demonstrates how a song can change between the first take and the final released version. Take one features only George singing and just two intruments - acoustic guitar and keyboards. It's interesting to note that the last verse of the song was not retained when it was re-recorded for inclusion on the "White Album". MAILMAN, BRING ME NO MORE BLUES 1:56 (Roberts/Katz/Clayton); Lead Vocal: John Recorded on January 291969 during the session for a "Get Back" album that was later re-titled "Let It Be". CHRISTMAS TIME (IS HERE AGAIN) 1:09 (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey); Lead Vocal: The Beatles Between December 1963 and December 1969 the Beatles fan club issued seven Christmas flexi discs to their members. These records, which have became collectors' items, ranged from more or less audio "thank you's" to their fans through to mini pantomimes. Although the records featured strongly the Beatles madcap humour, some music featured, particularly on the 1967 release, which originally featured this track. |
