John Lennon faced the recording of Imagine, his second solo album, with the aim of returning to the top spot in the rankings. He was the only Beatle who hadn’t had a number one, so he sought to show himself as the successful composer he had been with his band, the greatest ever, without letting…
In 1994, Paul, George and Ringo gathered to record background music for Anthology. They really wanted to instead compose and record new music but according to George, the Beatles had always agreed that if one of them was not in the band, the others would never replace them and “go out as the Beatles,” and…
She’s a Woman was one of Paul’s big personal triumphs. Not only was it a staple of the Beatles’ stage repertoire for the season of 1965, but as the “Unplugged Special” in 1991, it was clearly on the composer’s own short list of Beatles’ songs he’s proud to still play in public.At the time of…

Darling,” along with a completely remixed version of the track: the two cuts appear on a 50th anniversary edition of the band’s penultimate studio album, Abbey Road.The released version of “Oh!

The black-trimmed cover gave it funereal quality, and fans anxiously studied to the parting message from the foursome that…
A great influence to George Harrison by Buddy Holly, or like the later artist was profoundly influenced by the earlier one.And if that’s still not enough, the songs sound so much alike it’s spooky, a single acoustic guitar strummed at an insistent rock tempo, with just a little percussive ornamentation by his buddies in the…
The guitar solo that appears on ‘The Night Before’ was recorded in February 17, 1965 and it is such a clever idea that it could not go unacknowledged. George and Paul play the double-tracked solo, an octave apart. Genius! “George and Paul are playing the same break exactly, both playing but in different octaves,” Lennon…
Homage to Cynthia Lennon that would turn today September 10, 82 years old. A song that John wrote to her.Regarding When I Get Home and other songs John wrote for the “A Hard Day’s Night” album, McCartney expressed that they “may have been based in real experiences…with Cynthia or whatever, but it never occurred to…
