I want to stop time right here. They liked eachother, they were still striving. This may be the classic example of their individual songwriting and personalities merging. Harmonies, percussion, rhythm, bass, and all. Lennon and McCartney.
wow. what a treat. a little glimpse into the evolution of a beatle song. It's easy to think it's a simple song, when all you've done for 40 years is listen to/hum the vocals tune. But in take 1, you really hear all the sophisticated, unusual chord and tempo changes - these guys were natural geniuses - without the education or formal training - blows me away every time
If I could come back in another life as another person, I think I would choose Sir George Martin; he was there at the inception of all these classics, literally listening to music being revolutionized. This is proof. That first glimpse of the song on McCartney's demo reminds me of John's earliest version of "Strawberry Fields Forever." There's something ethereal about it, like a miner's first glimpse of a vein of gold.

@MARMARR1Yes these are great bands no question, but i was refering to anything from the noughties, or to days music, theres just nothing happening, you also forgot the Smiths!
Can you think of anyones elses outtakes you would want to listen to of today? no....? I thought so, i would have paid good money to watch these guys develope a song!
I've heard the acoustic pt at beg & the abrupt cutoff at end on an Italian bootleg CD of Rubber Soul (with diff pic on cover) I bought at Bleeker St Records in NYC, but that "take one" was new to me. Excellent video! Great audio & video editing! Beatles forever!
@Cozycriter I think they are the best two songwriters period, at least of the 20th Century. The odds of the two best songwriters ending up in the same band are long.
Yes @msradx ... Lennon + McCartney ARE the Greatest songwriting DUO in the History of Music... Bar None!! - - More #1 Hits than Anyone before or Since... Everyone in the Music Biz has done a Cover at one time or another... and the FACT is that the World has only actually heard a Fraction of their work. - In an interview back in 1966, George Martin [Beatles producer] said that the two had written enough songs at that time to fill a New LP every Week for the Next 10 or 12 years!! - Do the Math.:-)
Not unlike any other band working out a tune they'd written.......except of course, for the quality of the tune. In that, The Beatles were light years above the rest.
who cares who wrote what???? it was a time in history that we lived...... it was a beginning.... THIS WAS IT!!! and now it's a wonderful history and legacy for you young ones to try to understand instead of the CRAP you listen to today and call "music"!!! It was the best music, in the best time, by the BEST BAND that ever was!!! They will always be the BEATLES!!!!
@mariap1919 Could you please not group all of today's generation together, cause it really offends me. I love the Beatles, and don't listen to any of the music in the charts.
This est fantastic. Never heard these takes before. You can see the genesis of a song. It's great how McCartney is sweet and melancholy and then Lennon comes in with a true observation on life that sets it off perfectly. I don't know how many times I've said to someone "Life's too short" and it was because of this song. Love Lennon's "I know how it goes, it's when it comes" catchy coo lala or did I just say that?
We Can Work it Out - this was Paul's song about Jane Asher who was leaving to start at Bristol Old Vic - Paul wanted her around him all the time but she was independant, especially for the time, and wanted her own career. The middle 8 was written by John and the 3/4 waltz time was George's idea.
I got this from 'A Hard Day's Write' by Steve Turner. It documents the circumstances of how every Beatles song was written and by whom - it's fucking brilliant.
God I love these outtakes, almost like hearing a remix of the song. Where do you find these? Please post more! McCartney is such a musical legend. I wish John had been around in the 90's, I bet they would have regrouped like many other bands did.
A great body of work, but what if they'd stayed together another 10-20 years? And yeah, the harmony thing is from BOTH of them. Both were great harmonists. They learned NOT to sing parallel harmony from the Everly Brothers, then took two part harmony much further. The Hollies and Seekers and Byrds, Mama and Papa's - they all owe it to Macca and John.
Na they broke up at the right time. They're one of the only bands that broke up "on top." They were still writting good songs and thats part of the reason why they are so great. All the other bands broke up when they couldnt think of anymore songs and the last few years always stink. Thats why im glad they broke up when they did
Dear Lumbago 12. It's a real demo from 65! It was first heard on the radio show The Lennon Tapes. John had it amongst his things. It finishes where it does because Lennon taped over the end of it with something else.
What a great song. No one could write harmony like Lennon. His parts were always unique and never cliched. On "Here There Everywhere," note Lennon's harmony part on "Love never dies, watching her eyes." No one else would ever have thought of that part. Same for "If I Fell." Lennon could quite possibly be the greatest rhythm guitar player and harmonizer of all time, aside from his obvious genius.
@CaptainVasily Right lennon is the greatest rhythm guitar player in history, himself and harrison had the best rhythm section in any band ive ever heard....go to how to play guitar like john lennon on youtube, there is a kid on here that is a beatles music prodigy and shows the technique john used....awesome!
yeah but he couldnt tune it properly he had to get Paul to do it. its really an overstatement to say he's the best in history, and im a huge beatles fan
There are no two other voices in pop music that blend with the magic of John's & Paul's. Start with John as the foundation, add some McCartney harmony, and it's like butta!
They had trouble remembering the ending because they would forget to go back to waltz time signiture. ringo, who was the perfectionist had to be reminded.
Thanks for posting this. I love all of their finished products, and I always get a little more enjoyment from hearing the process to get there. I love all "behind the scenes" recordings from all groups and individual artists. I love the Beatles "Anthology" series because I get to hear so many different versions of the songs. Sadly, I have yet to obtain the Beatles "Rarities" CD.
wow - this is beautiful,, taking us from acoustic chords, notes, voice to the finished song with instrument, harmony etc .. it must seem like the birth of their " baby" how awesome ! fantastic creativity
I love this! What a great idea -building We Can Work it Out from the demo and the musical backing to the finished song- well done. The audio is fantastic but how do I download it and keep it is an audio file?
God, this is cool! Never heard this before. Lennon and McCartney were EQUALLY gifted and enhanced one another's works so well. This is a perfect example.
Ah! Those right Bastards, The Beatles! How DARE they withhold gems like this from the Anthology collection. At least we know that there's still some use for bootlegs and such.
even better would be to put out multitracks on some sort of CD-ROM so everyone could create his own customized mix of each song and then burn a custom cd
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yesterday, For No One, I'm Looking Through You, You Won't See Me, Let it Be, I Will, Two of Us, the song he wrote for Lennon, Here Today....what are you, f.ucking nuts?
Sometimes a bit more than a suggestion, like when Paul wrote the middle part and invented the crescendo in A Day in the Life. After Pepper they wrote most songs on ther own though. Paul on occation has felt people don't fully realise he contributed at least as much as John to The Beatles' song catalog. (Hence the silly notion to credit some songs McCartney/Lennon.) Personally, I believe most people DO realise they were equals.
In one of the last interviews John Lennon gave before his death (published posthumously in Playboy), he discussed in great depth, song by song, the specific contributions of each of the Beatles to the group's entire songwriting catalog, acknowledging ultimately that, "Those early songs were pretty much written nose-to-nose with Paul". That interview was a significant effort by Lennon to set the record straight.
Yes, but they wrote a LOT of songs together. And even ones that people believe to be solo efforts (such as "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds") had CONTRIBUTIONS from the other. They were a great songwriting team. They truely bought out the best in each other.
We Can Work It Out, It's Getting Better All The Time, Michelle etc. wouldn't be the same without John's contributions and neither would half of John's songs without Paul.
The Lennon/McCartney team was an unbeatable force.
He's absolutely right. Most of the songs were either one alone or with one writing chorus/verse etc. and the other writing the "middle eight" or "bridge". An example about all of the songs being Lennon/McCartney regardless: "Give Peace a Chance"? Lennon/McCartney composition. But it's quite obvious who wrote that one.
Verdaderamente, esto no se repetirá más nunca, dichosos los que vivieron un concierto en vivo de estos genios de la musica, asì como vivieron esa epoca maravillosa, nunca un grupo musical tendra la calidad y genialidad que los Beatles tuvieron. Ahora solo queda verlos en videos, pero sentir esa magia real es indescriptibles. Gracias muchachos y que las nuevas generaciones puedan aprender de ellos, para vivir en un mundo mejor.

I love this! What a great idea -building We Can Work it Out from the demo and the musical backing to the finished song- well done. The audio is fantastic but how do I download it and keep it is an audio file?

God, this is cool! Never heard this before. Lennon and McCartney were EQUALLY gifted and enhanced one another's works so well. This is a perfect example.

why wasnt THIS on anthology??
IS there going to be an anthology 4?

Ah! Those right Bastards, The Beatles! How DARE they withhold gems like this from the Anthology collection. At least we know that there's still some use for bootlegs and such.

even better would be to put out multitracks on some sort of CD-ROM so everyone could create his own customized mix of each song and then burn a custom cd

john's lyrics expressed true emotions, even pain..if lyrics sound like fairy tale, chances are they were penned down by paul..

Who does the tamborine on this? Cause if Ringo busy with the drums.......????

George Harrison is believed to be playing tamborine since Lennon is playing acoustic guitar and there is no lead guitar in the song.

No, silly, John and Paul collaborated to some degree on MOST songs they wrote.

Actually Paul helped John more with "suggestions" but a good suggestion should not warrant a co-writer credit!
Paul latter tried to change the Lennon/McCartney agreement they both had that whom ever wrote the song it would credited as Lennon/McCartney.

Sometimes a bit more than a suggestion, like when Paul wrote the middle part and invented the crescendo in A Day in the Life. After Pepper they wrote most songs on ther own though. Paul on occation has felt people don't fully realise he contributed at least as much as John to The Beatles' song catalog. (Hence the silly notion to credit some songs McCartney/Lennon.) Personally, I believe most people DO realise they were equals.
andersbac 2 years ago
Only one of maybe 2 or 3 songs Paul and John actually wrote together.
John wrote the "life is very short.."' part called" the bridge" in songwritting terminonlogy.

that is nonsense.
DAVWAVE 2 years ago
Do your research and you'll that it is true!
They had an agreement that no matter who wrote the song it would be credited as Lennon/McCartney

In one of the last interviews John Lennon gave before his death (published posthumously in Playboy), he discussed in great depth, song by song, the specific contributions of each of the Beatles to the group's entire songwriting catalog, acknowledging ultimately that, "Those early songs were pretty much written nose-to-nose with Paul". That interview was a significant effort by Lennon to set the record straight.

Yes, but they wrote a LOT of songs together. And even ones that people believe to be solo efforts (such as "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds") had CONTRIBUTIONS from the other. They were a great songwriting team. They truely bought out the best in each other.
We Can Work It Out, It's Getting Better All The Time, Michelle etc. wouldn't be the same without John's contributions and neither would half of John's songs without Paul.
The Lennon/McCartney team was an unbeatable force.

I believe that George contibuted the idea for the waltz during the chorus/bridge. A true group effort.

@msradx you mean, *IS* and unbeatable force. ;D
PAULisDEADMANnumber9 1 year ago
He's absolutely right. Most of the songs were either one alone or with one writing chorus/verse etc. and the other writing the "middle eight" or "bridge". An example about all of the songs being Lennon/McCartney regardless: "Give Peace a Chance"? Lennon/McCartney composition. But it's quite obvious who wrote that one.

Verdaderamente, esto no se repetirá más nunca, dichosos los que vivieron un concierto en vivo de estos genios de la musica, asì como vivieron esa epoca maravillosa, nunca un grupo musical tendra la calidad y genialidad que los Beatles tuvieron. Ahora solo queda verlos en videos, pero sentir esa magia real es indescriptibles. Gracias muchachos y que las nuevas generaciones puedan aprender de ellos, para vivir en un mundo mejor.
