4 The Beatles - Your Mother Should Know - Magical Mystery Tour Recorded 22nd August 1967 at Chappell Recording Studios London (1 st of two) Abbey Road was booked on this day so they went to another George Martin used studio owned by the Chappell Publishing Co. also in London. Lead vocal Paul McCartney 1.00 UK EP The Beatles Let It Be - Let It Be Paul wrote "Let It Be" in response to the constant fighting amongst band members, esp. over finances. Paul was trying to emerge as the new 'leader' of the band, since John was often absent from sessions. The other members grew tired of his poking and prodding and soon turned on him. 'Mother Mary' who gives Paul strength is actually his mother, who came to him in a dream and lifted his spirits. 4

5 McCartney 1.00 March 6, 1970 (UK) ("Let It Be/You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" single) March 11, 1970 (US) ("Let It Be/You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" single) May 18, 1970 (US & UK) (on Let It Be) March 8, 1988 (UK & US) (on Past Masters Vol. 2) November 14, 2000 (UK & US) (on Beatles 1) Paul McCartney I Lost My Little Girl (Lennon/McCartney) Unplugged 91 This was Paul s first composition, written at the age of 14. The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: Paul Recorded February 11, 1963. A Paul McCartney original, the song was written in one day in September 1962 in the front parlor of 20 Forthlin Road, Allerton (the McCartney family from 1955 to 1964), with John Lennon helping with some of the lyrics. It was recorded under its working title, Seventeen, at the marathon recording session that 5

6 produced the majority of songs for the Beatles debut album. A fan favorite, the Beatles recorded I Saw Her Standing There eleven times for BBC Radio between March 1963 and May 1964. McCartney has said that his bass line was lifted almost note for note from the obscure Chuck Berry song I m Talking About You, released by Berry in February 1961. The Beatles performed I m Talking About You at some of their club shows in 1962 and 1963. It is included on the Live! At The Star Club CD. Specially selected by Capitol Records staff members to be the b-side of the American I Want to Hold Your Hand single on Capitol in the U.S., replacing This Boy for the honor. The first song on the first Beatles LP. On U.S. albums: Introducing The Beatles (with 1, 2, 3 inexplicably missing from Paul s count-in) - Vee-Jay LP Meet the Beatles! - Capitol LP The Beatles Yesterday - Help! (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written solely by Paul McCartney. After he woke up one morning with the tune in his head he went to his piano to sketch it out. Sure the tune was something he had heard before he took the song to several people and asked if they d heard it before. When everyone he asked said it was new to them he claimed the tune as his own. McCartney perfected the melody and added a middle eight section during breaks in the production of the Beatles second film. He wrote the lyrics while on vacation in Portugal in late May 1965. The band was reluctant to release the song because a lovely acoustic ballad with a string quartet did not fit their rock and roll image. It was buried on the Help! LP and the band had no intention of releasing it as a single in the UK. But in America, Capitol Records issued it as a single a few days after McCartney, in the solo spotlight, sang the song on The Ed Sullivan Show. Recorded in two takes on June 14, 1965 at the same session as I ve Just Seen A Face and I m Down. One of only five Beatles songs Paul chose to perform live on his Wings Over America tour in 1976. The working version 6

7 lyrics included the line: Scrambled Eggs / Oh how I love your legs. Yesterday is one of the most covered songs in the history of recorded music. On U.S. album: Yesterday And Today - Capitol LP Paul & Linda McCartney - Another Day Also written around the Let it Be sessions, this was a similar narrative to Eleanor Rigby, again dealing with a lonely woman. This was specifically referenced in John s How Do You Sleep in the Imagine album. Reached #2 in the UK charts, and #5 in the US MORE EARLY SONGWRITING FROM A YOUNG PAUL McCARTNEY The Beatles - I ll Follow The Sun - Beatles For Sale (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul 7

8 One of the earliest Beatle originals, I ll Follow The Sun was composed entirely in 1959 by Paul McCartney in the front room of his family home on Forthlin Road in Liverpool. Recorded in eight takes on October 18, 1964. On U.S. album: Beatles 65 - Capitol LP The Beatles When I m Seventy* - Sgt. Pepper s Lonely Hearts Club Band Recorded Dec. 6 th 1966 1 st song recorded for Sgt. Pepper. Written by Paulie when he was just about 15 or 16 years old.

10 The Beatles - Can t Buy Me Love - A Hard Day s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles sixth single release for EMI s Parlophone label. During their 19-day engagement at Paris s Olympia Theatre The Beatles took time out to record German-language versions for two of their biggest hits. I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You were chosen to get new vocals to increase sales in the German market. This was at the insistence of EMI s German branch, Odeon, which felt they couldn t sell large quantities of records unless they were sung in German. With less than an hour left on their booked recording time, The Beatles recorded four takes of a new song by Paul, Can t Buy Me Love. Issued in the U.S. on March 16, 1964, it sold 940,225 copies in the U.S. the day it was released, earning a gold record award that day and shattering all previous sales records. Within two weeks sales had totaled 2 million copies. The single went on to sell over 3 million by the end of the year. The UK single was released four days later, on March 20, 1964. Recorded Jan. 29, 1964 at Pathe Marconi Studio in Paris. It s inclusion in A Hard Day s Night was a decision by director Richard Lester, who opted for Paul s fast paced million seller over John s slower new song I ll Cry Instead. The decision to cut I ll Cry Instead from the film was so last minute that the American soundtrack LP, which had been rush-released on United Artists Records, included I ll Cry Instead in its song line-up. On U.S. album: A Hard Day s Night - United Artists LP Hey Jude - Apple LP (1970) 10

11 The Beatles - We Can Work It Out Past Masters Recorded: 20/29 October 1965 RELEASED AS A CHRISTMAS SINGLE ON DEC. 3 RD 1965 AND IT KICKED OFF THE RUBBER SOUL SESSIONS IN OCT. 1965 Yesterday & Today in US / Collection of Oldies in UK Written by Paul as a pleading song to Jane Asher, who had just moved away from London to join the theatre. It was the first such instance in their relationship, and one that contributed to their eventual breakup. 11

12 The Beatles - Hello Goodbye - Magical Mystery Tour Recorded Oct. 2nd 1967 Released as a single Nov. `67 The sixteenth official EMI release. Banned by the BBC for lip-syncing, which was against the rules of the British musicians union. The film (not video) was shot at the Savillie Theater in London. Beatle John always disliked the song as it took the A side over his I Am The Walrus though John did like the end bit. Lead vocal Paul Hello Goodbye was No. 1 for seven weeks in the UK, tying From Me To You as the longest running Beatle chart-topper McCartney 1.00 The Beatles - Hey Jude Single/ Hey Jude / Past Masters Recorded: 29/30/31 July, 1 August 1968 The Beatles most successful single in their entire career. It was #1 for NINE weeks straight in the USA (3 weeks in the UK) Lennon: I always heard it as a song to me. When Paul say s go out and get her he meant go ahead leave me. This was the FIRST record released on Apple Records. 95.5 KLOS AS Celebrate Fathers Day and Paul McCartney turning 70 tomorrow playin #1 Beatle hits in this set and I think hear another one coming right now!

13 The Beatles - Get Back Single/ Let It Be /Past Masters- Recorded Jan. 27 th (LP) and single Jan. 28 th 1969 Released as a single in UK April 11, 1969 And in the USA May 5 th 1969. The Beatles 1 st STEREO single in the USA Paul 4 th A-side in a row. Only Beatle record to include an outside player Billy Preston on the label. Get Back" was the original title to the film and album, which became "Let It Be". The whole idea of the album was for the band to 'get back' to their recording roots by playing live and without studio trickery, hence the title Lennon said in his Playboy interview that Get Back was a better version of Lady Madonna he added he thought there might be a few underlying references about Yoko in there like the part where Paul sez Get back to where you once belonged cuz every time he sang that line he looked directly at her. The single version was produced by George Martin. Mr. #1 with a bullet NEWS W/ JACKIE NOW! 13

14 BWTB Or as we re known in Japan The Super Beatles Happy Morning Show It s an ALL PAUL McCARTNEY Father s Day edition of BWTB Now of course Paul is without a doubt pop music s most accomplished songwriter EVER that s a givin and if that wasn t enough he s also possess one of the greatest throats in all of Rock n Roll with that said Here s a set of Paul McCartney SINGER The Beatles - I m Down - Single (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul 14

15 Recorded in one take on June 14, 1965. Written entirely by Paul McCartney, who showed off his skills at the June 14 recording session by recording I ve Just Seen A Face in six takes, then the scorcher I m Down in one take, and following a dinner break, nailing Yesterday in two takes. I m Down was patterned after Little Richard s Long Tall Sally, or as George Harrison described it at the time, It s pretty wild because it has Paul s wild voice. Paul: I could do Little Richard's voice, which is a wild, hoarse, screaming thing. It's like an out-of-body experience. You have to leave your current sensibilities and go about a foot above your head to sing it. A lot of people were fans of Little Richard so I used to sing his stuff but there came a point when I wanted one of my own, so I wrote I'm Down. I ended up doing it at Shea Stadium. It worked very well for those kind of places, it was a good stage song. And in as much as they are hard to write, I'm proud of it. Those kind of songs with hardly any melody, rock 'n' roll songs, are much harder to write than ballads, because there's nothing to them. John Lennon plays the Hammond organ. The B-side of the Help! single, issued July 23, 1965 in the UK and July 19, 1965 in the U.S. On U.S. album: Non-album single (B-side) UK: Non-album single (B-side) Long Tall Sally (Johnson-Penniman-Blackwell) Lead vocal: Paul Paul McCartney recorded this Little Richard screecher in just one take on March 1, 1964. Prior to being properly recorded, the Beatles performed the song for an American audience during the Beatles first concert appearance, in Washington D.C. on February 11, 1964. In a rare instance, two of the songs from the Long Tall Sally EP were issued 15

16 first in America ( Long Tall Sally on The Beatles Second Album and I Call Your Name on Something New ). The initial pressings of the Long Tall Sally EP credited only Enotris Johnson as the writer of Long Tall Sally. Johnson was a little girl that had written some original lyrics for a song she hoped Little Richard would record. She gave a popular local radio disc jockey a note with the lyrics to give to Little Richard. The DJ gave the note to Little Richard s producer and a hit was born. The Penniman that is credited is Richard Penniman, aka Little Richard. Little Richard s recording was released in March 1956 and hit #1 on the Billboard R&B sales chart, becoming the best-selling 45 of the history of Specialty Records. Originally recorded by Little Richard with the working title The Thing. On U.S. album: The Beatles Second Album - Capitol LP U.K.: Non-album track (EP song) The Beatles - Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey! - Beatles For Sale (Leiber-Stoller-Penniman) Lead vocal: Paul Originally listed on the Beatles For Sale record label and album jacket as Kansas City and credited only to Mike Leiber and Jerry Stoller, the title and writing credits have been amended over the years to include the Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey! end section, which was a separate song written and originally recorded by Little Richard (Penniman). This medley is usually listed as Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey! Kansas City was a number one hit for Wilbert Harrison in the spring of 1959 and had become a concert staple for the Beatles at their early club shows, so it was a natural to include when they needed material to fill their fourth album. While in America on their North American Tour on September 17, 1964 the Beatles surprised the crowd at Kansas City s Municipal Stadium by performing their hometown song during their set. It was a bonus track not performed at any other stop on the North American Tour. Recorded in two takes, the first being deemed the best, on October 18, 1964. George Martin provides the rollicking piano part. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP 16

17 The Beatles Oh Darling - Abbey Road April 20 th 1969 Comments by the other Beatles in this year was always interesting case in point About Oh Darling George sez It s really just Paul singing by himself while we do a few things in the background which you can barley hear but it s mainly just him shouting and Mr. Lennon sez Oh Darling is a great one of Paul s that he didn t sing too well. I always thought that I could have done it better. Paul took a stab at singing the song once a day for a week straight, first thing in the morning to get the right sound. should of just asked John. McCartney 1.00 Paul McCartney Run Devil Run Run Devil Run 99 Paul: I saw this herbal medicine shop in Atlanta selling Run Devil Run products. I thought it was a great Rock and Roll title, so I did it Chuck Berry Style! 17

18 Paul McCartney Shake A Hand (Morris) Run Devil Run 99 Paul was always a big Little Richard fan. He can be heard on The Beatles At The BBC letting rip on Lucille and Ooh! My Soul. Paul: "I have this image of being in Hamburg; there was one bar that had a pool table and a great jukebox. And that was the only place I ever heard Shake A Hand. Every time we went there, I put it on. I never had the record, but I knew I wanted to do it. It always takes me back to that bar". 3:50 15 Party Robinson Recorded 4th March 1999. Add Short Quiz Tones HERE Name this WINGS song? 800.955.KLOS Wakin` and Bakin` on a ALL PAUL FATHERS DAY SUNDAY how about a set from Wings hmmm? 18

19 Wings Hi Hi Hi Written in Spain earlier in the summer, it was a great rocking tune that brought back some credibility to Paul s solo efforts. The BBC banned it on November 30 th, 1972 for suggestive language and drug references. Paul had used the word polygon but it was incorrectly listed as body gun in the lyrics. Paul McCartney & Wings Jet Band on the Run 73 Written in Scotland on a summer day, the title referred to the name of one of Paul s puppies that was running around while he composed the tune. Although there is a reference to earlier song of Paul s called, Suffragette about an exgroupie under an early guise. Old friend, Howie Casey, of Derry and the Seniors played Sax on the track. Wings Beware My Love Wings at the Speed of Sound 76 A superb McCartney tune that became another fantastic part of the Wings live performance. It was also listed as the B-Side of Let Em In, which benefitted in radio play by not having a cross-fade which made it easier to play. Wings Listen to What The Man Said Venus and Mars 75 19

20 Recorded in New Orleans, this was the hit of the album. A worldwide success, it went to number #1 and is considered one of Paul s best singles. To cap off the track, Paul did an impression of Leo Nocentelli, the guitarist for the Meters (not Wolfman Jack, as has been incorrectly stated) was placed at the beginning of the song. Paul McCartney & Wings The Mess Red Rose Speedway sessions `72 Originally titled, The Mess (I m in). This was recorded Live at the Hague and was the first live Wings recording issued commercially, but here we have the unreleased studio version. 20

21 Jimmy Fallon & Paul Scrambled Eggs Live Paul McCartney & Wings Band on the Run (Nicely Toasted) Band on the Run 73 The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles thirteenth single release for EMI s Parlophone label. Essentially a Paul McCartney solo composition, he had some help with the song s storyline from John, George, Ringo and John s childhood friend Pete Shotton at Kenwood, John s estate in Weybridge. This marks the first time a finished Beatles recording had no Beatle playing an instrument. The backing track, a haunting George Martin score, featured a double string quartet (four violins, two violas and two cellos) and was finished in 14 takes on April 28, 1966 with John and Paul sitting in the control room. The title character had initially been called Daisy Hawkins, but later evolved into Eleanor Rigby. Paul says the name was based on Help! actress Eleanor Bron and the name of a local business, Rigby & Evans Ltd., Wine & Spirit Shippers. In a strange coincidently, a tombstone at St. Peter s Parish in Woolton, Liverpool, (the church where Lennon and McCartney met as teenagers) bears the name Eleanor Rigby. That particular Eleanor Rigby died on Oct. 10, 1939, at age 44. Father McKenzie had at one time been Father McCartney, but Paul changed it so people wouldn t think the song referred to his father. Paul returned to the song on June 6, 1966, to add a counterpoint vocal at the end of the song. The song was issued as a double-a side single, paired with Yellow 21

22 Submarine. This strayed purposely from The Beatles usual release pattern. Generally they would not issue songs from an LP as single sides. But John and Paul had tired of other artists recording their album tracks and having chart hits with them, so this time out The Beatles opted to have the hit single version of two of their album tracks. The Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby single, issued simultaneously with the Revolver album, marked the first time the band issued LP songs on a single in Britain. In the U.S., the single sold a remarkable 1.2 million copies in the first month of release, and became the group s 21st gold record. On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP The Beatles Two Of Us - Let It Be Thought by many to be a song about John and Paul and their childhood, "Two of Us" is actually a song written by Paul about he and his wife Linda. The lyrics are derived from various experiences where the two would get in the car with Paul's dog Martha and just drive in the countryside until they were lost. One particular day, Linda parked the car and went for a walk; Paul sat in the car and wrote the basic track for the song. McCartney 1.00 22

23 Paul McCartney Maybe I m Amazed McCartney 70 Written in London, on piano. A promotional movie of the song was created featuring Linda s photography in a slide show. The Beatles - Got To Get You Into My Life - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Another Paul McCartney solo composition, Paul called this stand out track an ode to pot, like someone else might write an ode to chocolate or a good claret (wine). Work began on the song on April 7, 1966, and this early alternate version can be heard on the Anthology 2 album. It was the second song recorded for the Revolver album. The Beatles returned to the song the next day with an improved arrangement that included John and George on fuzz guitars. On May 18 they revisited the song again, devoting a full 12-hour session to rework and complete the song. To give the song its Motown feel, five outside musicians were brought in to add brass and saxophones. An additional dual guitar overdub was added on June 17. Got To Get You Into My Life was the opening song performed on the final Wings tour in 1979. On U.S. album: 23

24 Revolver - Capitol LP The Beatles - I ve Just Seen A Face - Help! (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul at the Asher family home on Wimpole Street. Paul had the tune prior to coming up with the lyrics and originally named the song Auntie Gin s Theme because his aunt liked it. George Martin s instrumental Help! album includes an orchestrated version of I ve Just Seen A Face using the title Auntie Gin s Theme. Recorded in six takes at the same June 14, 1965 McCartney-dominated session that produced Yesterday and I m Down. One of only five Beatles songs Paul chose to perform live on his Wings Over America tour in 1976. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP QUIZ w/ Dad - Name the Paul McCartney song that appeared in the movie Fathers Day? 24

25 - Fab Four tickets with a the Love We Make DVD, McCartney I & II CD s, and a box of Sir Paul Chocolates Paul McCartney Young Boy Flaming Pie 97 This is the closest to a pure pop song for the album, it was chosen as the first single in the UK (while The World Tonight was first in the US) it was written in Long Island, NY August 18 th, 1994 at the home of cookbook author, Pierre Franey. The song was originally titled, Poor Boy, it included Steve Miller on guitar and vocals. This tune was used for the film, Father s Day starring Robin Williams and Billy Crystal. Paul In Liverpool - LIVE The Beatles When I m Seventy* - Sgt. Pepper s Lonely Hearts Club Band Recorded Dec. 6 th 1966 1 st song recorded for Sgt. Pepper.
