@beatlesholic13 --Sorry I´ve missed that one.!!! maybe I need new glasses. "A world without love" has always been one of my favorites, before knowing who the authors were.
The Beatles shoulda definitley kept "Woman", that`s the type of song you`d expect from Paul to write and it` woulda added to their legacy of great songs.
As long as people call things "the shit" as a compliment, the shit is what they're going to get. When people regain perspective, maybe things will improve. Until then, enjoy 21st century music, because most of it is indeed the shit.
i can see why they gave SOME of these away... if SOME of these songs were on their albums it would seriously damage the quality of the album. i LOVE Bad to Me. its a favorite. But with their reputation of having every song as a Masterpiece, they couldn't risk having SOME of these on their albums.
Great stuff! Paul wasn't sure if he was a good songwriter. He felt the reason Beatles songs were such big hits was because they had the Beatles name attached to the song. So Paul gave (among other reasons) Peter & Gordon the song "World Without Love" and wanted to see if it became a hit without people knowing it was a Beatle song (Paul wrote the song). True story. Paul also wrote Peter & Gordon's song "Woman." Both songs were huge hits and nobody at the time knew they were Beatle songs!
WHY?! WHY?!!! Dont get me wrong, the groups they gave them to did well with them, but why didn't they keep them?! Did they not realize the potential or did they need money or what?!
@creamtangerines I think some of these bands were on the same label as them and/or their friends and they gave them these songs because they (L&M) wrote a lot, and they were helping these other groups get some attention. You can find the beatles' demos for a lot of these
I did an electronic arrangement (no singing) of "That Means a Lot" based on the Beatles' version, so I didn't think that song was awful. (key words: Carl Moore Music
you could still say even the songs that they gave away are still some good song and it's better if the beatles are the one who sang and released it as thier own
@viceisthename yes!!!! i knew the rythum, the words it was great i expected lennon had something to do with it instantly! thanks for clearing it up mate!
Hunkasaurus does a great version of That Means a Lot.
Some of these are pretty good. Just think if all these (minus a couple of the weaker ones) were on a single album - it'd be one of the best albums ever.
@bealtespip123 And ?? MILLIONS of artists do : Tom Jones, Cliff, Cilla ; thats just 3 but i could go on and on and on.Not everyone is a songwriter but they can still be good singers.Besides Billy had a lot of success and John was a fan,putting the J. in his name for it to sound more interesting
@bealtespip123 well i think you are because as i implied before, what is a 'serious' artist ? If ones criteria is 'doesnt write their own songs' or ' doesnt play an instrument' then it would rule out a LOT of great singers as well as Kramer
@bealtespip123 Ive talked with Billy privately before, and he is so down to earth--he told me himself that he had the Beatles to thank for his fame and he kept calling himself an "entertainer," not exactly an "artist." Much like how an actor doesn't always write their own lines to say and act. Are you going to try and discredit them for that? Food for thought.
@Kliffi24601 An actor acts while a writer writes. Billy is a musician,not a composer. But he seems like a nice guy,so that's great. I'm glad Billy didn't proclaim himself as an artist. So I respect him.
Although I heard "It's for You" by Cilla Black at least once on the radio in the U.S. in 1964, I am more familiar with peppier versions done later by Three Dog Night and by Springwell. (Those two are very similar to each other.)
Hear 15 amazing versions of these songs (composed but never released by the Beatles) that far surpass what you are hearing on this page. "Off the Beatle Track" by Apple Jam released 09-09-09. Find them on the web at offthebeatletrack
Al of these songs are so goos, it's hard to comprehend really :). A couple of these I really think that they should have kept for themselves, they're that good. But I guess they didn't really need them.
That Means A Lot: Paul should've really done it himself...:D
i wish the Beatles recorded One and one is two with perfect quality... i don't know why but i love that song specially the way Paul sings it... the other guys that sing it don't do the song justice
Yeah! I think they gave the songs away because they couldn't add anymore to it? I mean, Bad To Me sounds so sweet when played by one person,but as a whole band it kinda loses it's charm. Know what I'm saying? Just like with One And One Is Two with Paul. = ]
Shortly after 4:00 we go to the "One and One is Two" except and on the screen I see "I **** ON THE FIRST DATE" (stars provided by me). Please leave this as a family attraction.
Yupm I always figured they had to just harmonize tight and anything would work, and all those that were goodies of others were also theirs! and figures too that some weren't handled with a little more time put to them maybe,,so we all get a break in song perfection, thank you for the review, reprieve , and relishments!!
Thanks, 2008IQ, for a great collection which demonstrates the wide range of creativity from Lennon & McCartney. "From A Window" was always one of my "unknown" favorites.
It's good to have all these in one place! Great work! Billy J Kramer was so good. He was a fine singer and their music was fun. Peter and Gordon, of course, can't be beat. You can see why the rest never went far. Cilla Black had a nice sound. PJ Proby was horrible! I remember when he'd come on TV and my sister and I would wonder who on earth was funding his career!
get a fucking grip pj proby had a brilliant voice he does sound a bit like gene pitney here I'd say "woman " and "its for you" were the best songs here, they show a sophistication of songwriting ( burt come to mind) that was missing in some of the stuff they recorded around the same time
Thanks for posting. As big a Beatle fan as I've been, there are a few songs there that I hardly ever hear. But I disagree that "That Means a Lot" is awful. The Beatles' version could have used some polishing and ditch the shrill sound, but Proby is, indeed, awful.
No I didnt. The Fabs recorded it officially themselves for their second album, sung by Ringo. Thousands have recorded Fab-songs, I just made these collections of the songs they gave away for others, and never recorded/released themselves officially.
Its not an official album by them. Its a bootleg. An "official bootleg" sort of. They performed and recorded a lot of songs (mostly covers) for the bbc radio, early into their career as the beatles.
It´s not a Lennon/McCartney original. Nor Harrison´s song. The song was given to Gerry & the Pacemakers by Epstein in the early days of the Fabs recording. I think the lads just wanted to release their own stuff, rejecting "How Do You Do It" as a single. They did record it, but never officially released it.
No problem. It´s the least I can do, having gotten so much from the Fab Four and their music. It´s my pleasure to spread the word around just a little bit more. There are a few others, as you know, that really dig those four lads from Liverpool. Their body of work and its quality staggers me every day.
I love "It's for you"... so soul-y....
