The Beatles Blog

• In spite of all the danger (McCartney--Harrison)
• You'll be mine (Lennon--McCartney)
• Cayenne (McCartney) Pre-Beatles recordings issued on the CD "Anthology 1 " in 1995.
• Cry for a shadow (Harrison-Lennon) Recorded 22 June 1961 (probably), by the Beatles with Pete on drums and released many times over. Of course this is the Beatles, so I'm breaking my own rule, but since it is the only original that was not originally on an EMI Beatles record, here it is. An instrumental. It appeared on the "Anthology I" CD in 1995
• I'll be on my way (Lennon-McCartney) Single by Billy J Kramer with the Dakotas, April 1963. The Beatles did it on BBC radio 4 April 1963, and that version is available on the 1994 CD set "Live at the BBC".
• Bad to me (Lennon--McCartney) Single by Billy J Kramer with the Dakotas, July 1963. A demo by John alone (I think) has been bootlegged. The B-side of Kramer's single, "I call your name" was a "song the Beatles didn't do" for almost a year.
• Tip of my tongue (Lennon--McCartney) Single by Tommy Quickly, July 1963. The Beatles attempted to record it, November 1962, but the tape is not at EMI (per Lewisohn) and has not been bootlegged.
• Hello little girl (Lennon--McCartney) Single by the Fourmost, August 1963. A very similar Beatles version with John lead vocal is on the so¬called Decca Tape of 1962, bootlegged, and included on the CD "Anthology 1" in 1995.
• Love of the loved (Lennon--McCartney) Single by Cilia Black, September 1963. A Beatles version with Paul lead vocal is on the so-called Decca Tape of 1962, bootlegged, but vetoed by Paul from "Anthology 1".
• I'll keep you satisfied (Lennon--McCartney) Single by Billy J Kramer with the Dakotas, November 1963.
• I'm in love (Lennon--McCartney) Single by the Fourmost, November 1963. A version of this by John has been bootlegged as the demo, but now is believed to be post-1975. A previously unissued version by Billy J Kramer with the Dakotas has recently appeared on the CD "Best of Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas".
• A World without love (Lennon--McCartney) Single by Peter and Gordon, February 1964.
• One and one is two (Lennon--McCartney) Single by the Strangers with Mike Shannon, May 1964. A Beatles demo has been bootlegged.
• Nobody I know (Lennon--McCartney) Single by Peter and Gordon, May 1964.
• Like dreamers do (Lennon--McCartney) Single by the Applejacks, June 1964. Last-released of the three originals on the so-called Decca tape of 1962, and the second of the two appearing on the CD "Anthology 1". Paul lead vocal.
• You'll know what to do (Harrison) Known for some years only as a demo recorded at EMI 3 June 1964, and a UK copyright registration. No recording of any sort appeared even on bootlegs until the CD "Anthology I" in 1995. However, George scat-sang the first line of it in an Australian interview that is on LP, possibly the one called "The Beatles Talk Down Under".
