Comb
(Perkins)
Lend me your comb,
It's time to go home.
Gotta confess,
My hair is a mess
Your mammie will scold,
Your pappie will shout.
Unless we come in
The way we went out.
Kissing you was fun honey
But thanks for the date.
But i must come to run honey,
But you know baby it's getting late.
Just wait till i
Straighten my tie.
Lend me your comb.
We got to go home.
Kissing you was fun honey
But thanks for the date.

Eleanor
Rigby
(Lennon/McCartney)
I look at all the lonely people
I look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the
church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that
she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a
sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in
the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was
buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his
hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

1969-Os Beatles começaram a trabalhar na segunda gravação de uma composição de Ringo Starr, Octopus Garden, gravarama 32 takes do ritmo básico.
Antes deles começarem, no entanto, Paul McCartney fez sua primeira tentativa de gravar a voz principal para Oh! Darling. McCartney primeiro apagou o órgão Hammond Gravado em 20 de abril de 1969.
Então ele fez um overdubbed nos vocais no take 26, mais um segundo take com voz de falsete. Então ele gravou dois takes de vocal harmônico, principalmente no final do verso. McCartney teve que regravar os vocais várias vezes nos dias subsequentes antes de ficar satisfeito.
Para Octopus's Garden, McCartney tocou baixo,Starr cantou o vocal líder e tocou bateria, e John Lennon e George Harrison ficaram nas guitarras. A guitarra de Harrison foi implementada por um alto-falante Leslie. Trinta e dois takes foram registrados, o segundo foi incluído no Anthology 3 em 1996, juntamente com o comentário de Starr "Bem, isso foi soberbo" que sucedeu o take 8. A sessão começou às 16:30 e terminou às 04h15 da manhã seguinte.
April 26
1969-The Beatles began work on Ringo Starr second-recorded composition, Octopus's Garden, taping 32 takes of the basic rhythm track.
Before they began, however, Paul McCartney made his first attempt to record a lead vocal for Oh! Darling. McCartney first erased the Hammond organ part recorded on 20 April 1969.
He then overdubbed his lead vocals onto take 26, plus a second take in a falsetto voice. He then recorded two harmony vocal takes, mainly in the final verse. McCartney would re-record his vocals a number of times on subsequent days before being satisfied.
For Octopus's Garden, McCartney played bass guitar, Starr drummed and sang a guide vocal, and John Lennon and George Harrison were on guitars. Harrison's guitar was put through a Leslie speaker. Thirty-two takes were recorded; the second was included on 1996's Anthology 3, along with Starr's comment "Well that was superb" which followed take 8.The session began at 4.30pm and finished at 4.15am the following morning.
Octopus's Garden
(Starr)
I'd like to be, under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
in his octupus' garden, in the shade.
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.
We would be warm, below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head, on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
We would shout(out) and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you
In an octupus' garden with you
In an octupus' garden with you.
*A segunda (e última) canção do Ringo foi inspirada nas férias em família que ele tirou em 1968 na Sardenha a bordo do iate de Peter Sellers. Depois que Ringo recusou uma oferta de polvo para o almoço, o capitão da embarcação começou a contar a ele tudo o que sabia sobre a vida dos polvos.
*The second (and last) Ringo's song was inspired in a vacation with family that he took in 1968 in Sardenha on Peter Seller's iate.After the Ringo's refuse an offer of octopus for lunch, the captain of the ship started to tell him everything he knew about the octopuses life.

Two Of Us
(Lennon/McCartney)
Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
We're going home
Better believe it

1964-The Beatles had filmed scenes at Gatwick Airport for the Can't Buy Me Love sequence of the A Hard Day's Night film on 13 March 1964. More footage was needed, however, which was captured on this day.
Filming took place on Thornbury Playing Fields in Isleworth, south London. A fake helipad was constructed, and The Beatles were filmed running around and acting up. John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison were also filmed jumping from a wooden ladder held in place by an on-set electrician, with the cameraman situated at ground level.
A children's playground was later built on the spot where the helipad was constructed. The shoot ended at 1pm, but Lennon had to leave early to attend a Foyle's literary luncheon held in his honour.
Anytime At All
(Lennon/McCartney)
Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all , all
you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.
If you need somebody to love, just look into my eyes, I'll
be there to make you feel right.
If you're feeling sorry and sad, I'd really sympathize.
Don't you be sad, just call me tonight.
Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all , all
you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.
If the sun has faded away, I'll try to make it shine,
there is nothing I won't do
If you need a shoulder to cry on I hope it will be mine.
Call me tonight, and I'll come to you.
Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all , all
you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.

You'll never leave me and you know it's true,

But you haven't got the nerve
To walk out and make me lonely
Which is all that I deserve,
You'll never leave me and you know it's true,
'cause you like me too much and I like you.
I really do, and it's nice when you believe me,
If you leave me
I will follow you
And bring you back where you belong
'cause I could't really stand it,
I admit that I was wrong,
I wouldn't let you leave me 'cause it's true,
'cause you like me too much and I like you.

1966-Uma sessão de 12 horas aconteceu neste dia, durante o qual os Beatles trabalharam em duas canções para o Revolver, embora as gravações de ambas fosse posteriormente descartada. O trabalho começou às 2:30 da tarde, e terminou às 2h30 da manhã seguinte.
A primeira música a ser abordada foi a de John Lennon And Your Bird Can Sing.Os Beatles gravaram dois takes da faixa de apoio, o que era notável para um ritmo descordante da parte de guitarra inspirada por The Byrds. Este foi gravado em uma Rickenbacker de 12 cordas, acompanhada de outro guitarra elétrica de Lennon, e bateria de Ringo Starr, todos gravados em uma fita de quatro takes.
Lennon overdubbed o vocal principal no track dois do segundo take, enquanto Paul McCartney acrescentou uma parte de baixo e Starr tocou um tamborim. O track três contou com uma segunda parte vocal de Lennon, com harmonias de McCartney e George Harrison, e um solo de guitarra.
No track quatro outro lead vocal de Lennon / McCartney foi adicionado, mas este proveniente de risadas e assobios. Apesar de passar várias horas trabalhando sobre a canção, foi refeita em 26 de abril de 1966; esta versão foi lançada em 1996 no álbum Anthology 2.
Os Beatles, em seguida, voltaram sua atenção para Taxman de Harrison. Eles gravaram quatro takes da canção, só dois dos quais estavam completos, mas novamente foi regravada em uma data posterior.
A sessão terminou com a criação de cinco mixes mono de And Your Bird Can Sing, todas do take dois.
April 20
1966-A 12-hour session took place on this day, during which The Beatles worked on two songs for Revolver, although the recordings of both were later scrapped. Work began at 2.30 in the afternoon, and finished at 2.30am the following morning.
The first song to be tackled was John Lennon's And Your Bird Can Sing. The Beatles recorded two takes of the backing track, which was notable for a jangle rhythm guitar part inspired by The Byrds. This was recorded on a Rickenbacker 12-string, accompanied by another electric guitar by Lennon, and drums by Ringo Starr, all recorded on track one of the four-track tape.
Lennon overdubbed a lead vocal onto track two of the second take while Paul McCartney added a bass part and Starr played a tambourine. Track three featured a second vocal part by Lennon, with harmonies from McCartney and George Harrison, and a lead guitar solo.
Onto the fourth track another Lennon/McCartney lead vocal was added, but this descended into laughter and whistling. Despite spending several hours working on the song, it was remade on 26 April 1966; this version was released on the 1996 album Anthology 2.
The Beatles then turned their attention to Harrison's Taxman. They recorded four takes of the song, only two of which were complete, but again it was re-recorded at a later date.
The session ended with the creation of five mono mixes of And Your Bird Can Sing, all from take two.
And Your Bird Can Sing
(Lennon/McCartney)
You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me
You say you've seen seven wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me
When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be roundWhen your bird is broken will it bring you down You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round
You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me.
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me
You say you've seen seven wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me
When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be roundWhen your bird is broken will it bring you down You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round
You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me.
*John menosprezou essa música dizendo que era "um horror" (1971) e "uma canção descartável" (1980), mas é difícil entender a causa dessa insatisfação.A letra era uma das mais enigmáticas e provavelmente uma observação sarcástica sobre Paul disfarçada com tinturas poéticas.
* John despised this song saying it was "a horror" (1971) and "a song disposable" (1980), but it is difficult to understand the cause of this dissatisfaction. A letter was one of the most enigmatic and probably a sarcastic remark about Paul disguised with poetic dyes.

18 de Abril
1969 - Os Beatles terminaram a gravação de Old Brown Shoe canção de George Harrison neste dia, e continuaram a trabalhar na canção Abbey Road I Want You (She's so heavy).
Harrison trabalhou sozinho na música, gravando um solo de guitarra no track sete. O instrumento foi alimentado através de um alto-falante Leslie. Ele então apagou a guitarra rítmica de John Lennon fazendo um overdubbing de órgão Hammond.
A sessão de gravação foi surpreendentemente longa, com duração entre 14.30-22:30 no Estúdio Três. Harrison e o produtor Chris Thomas, em seguida, mixaram Old Brown Shoe em estéreo em 19 tententativas, que foram numeradas de 5-23, na sala de controle do estúdio. Eles completaram o trabalho a 1:00 da manhã.
O estúdio dois também havia sido reservado para o trabalho em I Want You (She's So Heavy). Harrison, Lennon, Thomas, o engenheiro Jeff Jarratt e o operador John Kurlander estavam presentes para fazer o overdubbing de guitarras, em uma sessão mais tarde com duração entre 1.0-04h30 da manhã.
Os Beatles começaram a gravar a canção em 22 de fevereiro de 1969, e uma fita master foi montada a partir de três diferentes takes no dia seguinte.
Nesta manhã eles acrescentaram vários overdubs de guitarra não numerados, para fazer a parte crescente da música. Uma mix de redução foi então feito para permitir mais trabalho numa data posterior.
April 18
1969- The Beatles finished the recording of George Harrison's song Old Brown Shoe on this day, and continued work on the Abbey Road song I Want You (She's So Heavy).
Harrison worked alone on the song, recording a guitar solo onto track seven. The instrument was fed through a Leslie speaker. He then erased John Lennon's rhythm guitar by overdubbing a Hammond organ part.
The recording session was surprisingly lengthy, lasting from 2.30-10.30pm in Studio Three. Harrison and producer Chris Thomas then mixed Old Brown Shoe in stereo in 19 attempts, which were numbered 5-23, in the studio control room. They completed the work at 1am.
Studio Two had also been booked for work on I Want You (She's So Heavy). Harrison, Lennon, Thomas, balance engineer Jeff Jarratt and tape operator John Kurlander were present for the overdubbing of guitars, in a late session lasting from 1-4.30am.
The Beatles had begun recording the song on 22 February 1969, and a master tape was assembled from three different takes on the following day.
On this early morning they added several unnumbered guitar overdubs, to build up the song's crescendo. A reduction mix was then made to allow more work at a later date.
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
(Lennon/McCartney)
I want you
I want you so bad
I want you,
I want you so bad
It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad.

It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad.
I want you

It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad.
I want you

It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me ...
She’s so heavy heavy, heavy, heavy.
She's so heavy
She's so heavy, heavy, heavy

I want you so bad
I want you,

It’s driving me mad, it’s driving me mad.

*"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" foi escrita como uma canção de amor para Yoko. John admitiu a influência que ela teve em seu novo estilo de compor e disse que pretendia um dia escrever a canção perfeita com apenas uma palavra. Um poema de Yoko de 1964 consistia apenas na palavra "water". A música foi citada pela BBc 24Hours como um exemplo das banalidades da música pop, o que enfureceu John.

1966-A terceira música de Revolver escrita sobre o consumo de drogas, na sequência de Tomorrow Never Knows e Got To Get You Into My Life, o track de fundo para Doctor Robert foi gravado neste dia.
A sessão começou às 14:30 e terminou às 22:30. Os Beatles gravaram a música em sete takes, com John Lennon na guitarra base, Paul McCartney tocando um baixo Rickenbacker, George Harrison nas maracas e Ringo Starr tocando tambores.
Harrison, em seguida, sobrepõe uma parte guitarra líder, e Lennon acrescentou harmonia. Todos os instrumentos para Doctor Robert foram gravados neste dia; vocais foram adicionados e mixagens em mono foram feitas dois dias depois, em 19 de abril de 1966.

1966-The third song for Revolver written about drug-taking, following Tomorrow Never Knows and Got To Get You Into My Life, the backing track for Doctor Robert was recorded on this day.
The session began at 2.30pm and ended at 10.30pm. The Beatles recorded the song in seven takes, with John Lennon on rhythm guitar, Paul McCartney playing a Rickenbacker bass, George Harrison on maracas and Ringo Starr playing drums.
Harrison then overdubbed a lead guitar part, and Lennon added harmonium. All the instruments for Doctor Robert were recorded on this day; vocals were added and mono mixes were made two days later, on 19 April 1966.
Doctor Robert
(Lennon/McCartney)
Ring my friend, I said you call Doctor Robert
Day or night he'll be there any time at all, Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert
If you're down he'll pick you up, Doctor Robert
Take a drink from his special cup, Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, he's a man you must believe,
Helping everyone in need
No one can succeed like Doctor Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you ... Doctor Robert
My friend works for the national health, Doctor Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself with Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you ... Doctor Robert
Ring my friend, I said you call Doctor Robert
Ring my friend, I said you call Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
*A música era uma brincadeira em torno desse sujeito,possivelmente Dr Robert Freymann, que curava todo mundo com remédios e tranquilizantes. Ele simplesmente mantinha Nova York chapada...John que escreveu "Doctor Robert" estava entre os 100 famosos atendido por ele, segundo a filha de Freymann.
* The song was a joke around this guy, possibly Dr Robert Freymann, who healed everyone with drugs and tranquilizers. He just kept New York drugged... John who wrote "Doctor Robert" was among the 100 famous attended by him, according the Freymann's daughter.

1969-John Lennon e Paul McCartney haviam gravado The Ballad Of John And Yoko em 14 de abril de 1969. Dois dias depois, todos os quatro membros dos Beatles reuniram-se em Abbey Road para gravar seu lado-b, a canção de George Harrison Old Brown Shoe.
Havia duas sessões separadas neste dia. Das 2.30-17:00 Harrison gravou um demo solo de Old Brown Shoe em um único take.
Ele já tinha um demo da canção, de 25 de fevereiro de 1969. Neste dia, porém, sua demo foi gravada mais uma vez quando a sessão começou às 19:00. É provável que Harrison tenha tocado a gravação a eles para referência antes do trabalho começar.
Esta foi a primeira sessão de gravação dos Beatles na Abbey Road com os quatro membros desde 8 de outubro de 1968, mais de seis meses antes. Eles gravaram a música de fundo para Old Brown Shoe em apenas quatro tomadas.
O track um continha a bateria Ringo Starr, enquanto o segundo e terceiro destaca vocais de Harrison e guitarra. Piano, Paul McCartney foi gravado em quatro faixas, e John Lennon acrescentou guitarra ritmo para o track oito.
Lennon e McCartney, em seguida, sobrepuseram backing vocals para o track cinco. Guitarra elétrica e partes de baixo foram adicionados por McCartney e Harrison no seis, ambos os instrumentos dobrando os mesmos riffs. Vocais de Harrison foram últimos a ser adicionados, ao track oito, para isso ele se posicionou em um canto do estúdio para dar um som intimista.
April 16
1969-John Lennon and Paul McCartney had recorded The Ballad Of John And Yoko on 14 April 1969. Two days later all four members of The Beatles met at Abbey Road to record its b-side, George Harrison's song Old Brown Shoe.
There were two separate sessions on this day. From 2.30-5pm Harrison recorded a solo demo of Old Brown Shoe in a single take.
He had previously demoed the song on 25 February 1969. On this day, however, his demo was recorded over once The Beatles' session began at 7pm. It is likely that Harrison played the recording to them for reference before work began.
This was the first Beatles recording session at Abbey Road to feature all four members since 8 October 1968, more than six months previously. They recorded the backing track for Old Brown Shoe in just four takes.
Track one contained Ringo Starr's drums, while the second and third featured Harrison's guide vocals and lead guitar. Paul McCartney's piano was recorded onto track four, and John Lennon added rhythm guitar onto track eight.
Lennon and McCartney then overdubbed backing vocals onto track five. Electric guitar and bass parts were added by McCartney and Harrison on six, both instruments doubling up the same riffs. Harrison's lead vocals were the last to be added, onto track eight, for which he positioned himself in a corner of the studio to give an intimate sound.
Old Brown Shoe
(Harrison)
I want a love that's right
Right is only half of what's wrong.
I want a short-haired girl
Who sometimes wears it twice as long
Now I'm steppin' out this old brown shoe.
Baby I'm in love with you!
So glad you came here, it won't be the same now,
I'm telling you.
You know you picked me up
From where some try to drag me down.
And when I see your smile,
Replacing ev'ry thoughtless frown.
Got me escaping from this zoo
Baby, I'm in love with you!
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same
Now I'm with you.
If I'll grow up I'll be a singer.
Wear rings on ev'ry finger.
Not worrying about what they or you'll say
I'll live and love, and maybe someday, who knows baby
You may comfort me (yeah)!!
I may appear to be imperfect
But my love is something you can't reject
Changing faster than the weather
You and me should get together, who knows baby
You may comfort me
I want the love of yours
To miss that love is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start
I'm making sure that I'm not late
For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same
Now I'm with you
So glad you came here
It won't be the same now I'm with you!
Oh yeah yeah
(Good as... good as new)
*As origens da letra estão na visão religiosa de George de que precisamos nos libertar da realidade do mundo material porque ela é ilusória. Uma vez absorvidos pela consciência divina, não há certo versus errado, corpo versus alma, espírito versus matéria.
* The origins of the letter are the religious views of George that we need to free ourselves from the reality of the material world because it is illusory. Once absorbed into the divine consciousness, no right versus wrong, body versus soul, spirit versus matter.

Para um grupo claramente à beira do sucesso, os Beatles não teriam tocado em um local e cidade tão pequenos, mas pelo compromisso de Brian Epstein em honrar todas as reservas que tinha feito. O grupo frequentemente se ressentia ter que tocar em locais pequenos, mas tais aparições ajudaram a se conectar com seu público neste momento crucial.
April 15
1963-This was The Beatles only performance in the small market town of Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire. The concert took place at the Riverside Dancing Club in the Bridge Hotel.
For a group clearly on the cusp of success, The Beatles wouldn't have performed in such a small venue and town, but for Brian Epstein's commitment to honour all bookings they had made. The group often resented having to perform at small venues, but such appearances helped them connect with their audiences at this crucial time.
Bad To Me
(Lennon/McCartney)
If you ever leave me, I'll be sad and blue
Don't you ever leave me, I'm so in love with you
The birds in the sky would be sad and lonely,
If they knew that I lost my one and only,
They'd be sad if you're bad to me
The leaves on the trees would be softly sighin'
If they heard from the breeze that you left me cryin',
They'd be sad, don't be bad to me
But I know you won't leave me 'cos you told me so,
And I've no intention of letting you go,
Just as long as you let me know, you won't be bad to me
So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely,
'Cos they know that I got my one and only
They'd be glad that you're not bad to me
They'd be glad that you're not bad to me, to me, to me.

*Rain, foi o primeiro lançamento dos Beatles a sugerir estados alterados de consciência, não só na letra, mas também na música. O vocal arrastado, os instrumentos mais lentos e a fita tocada ao contrário no final eram sinais do que estaria por vir.

*Os Beatles se mantém fiéis ao arranjo de Spector, mas mudam o título e a letra de um ponto de vista feminino para um masculino. Mais uma vez o solo vocal é de John, com Paul e George responsáveis pelo "da,da, da" de fundo. Os Beatles costumavam incluir esta canção em suas primeiras apresentações e The Star Club Tapes traz uma versão ao vivo dela.
* The Beatles hold to the arrangement of Spector, but change the title and lyrics of a feminine point of view for a male. Again John is the vocal solo, with George and Paul responsible for "da, da,da" backvocal.

I Should Have Known Better

I should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do.
Whoa, whoa, I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me;
Can't you see, can't you see?
That when I tell you that I love you, oh,
You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh,
And when I ask you to be mine,
You're gonna say you love me too.
So, I should have realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've gotta give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more
Whoa, whoa, I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see?
That when I tell you that I love you, oh

1961-Esta foi a 11 ª noite da maior estadia dos Beatles em Hamburgo, durante o qual eles tocaram um total de 92 noites no Clube Top Ten.
O clube era de propriedade de Peter Eckhorn, que pagou a cada um dos Beatles 35DM (R $ 3) por dia. Eles foram obrigados a tocar a partir de 19:00 até 2:00 cada dia da semana, e até três horas nos fins de semana, com um intervalo de 15 minutos a cada hora.
As apresentações no Top Ten foram tão bem sucedidas que Eckhorn prorrogou por duas vezes o contrato dos Beatles. Eles finalmente deixaram a Alemanha após o seu último show no clube em 1 de Julho de 1961, tendo tocado no palco 503 horas, durante sua estadia.
April 11
1961-This was the 11th night of The Beatles' lengthiest residency in Hamburg, during which they played a total of 92 nights at the Top Ten Club.
The club was owned by Peter Eckhorn, who paid each of The Beatles 35DM (£3) per day. They were required to play from 7pm until 2am each weekday, and until 3am on weekends, with a 15-minute break in each hour.
The performances at the Top Ten were so successful that Eckhorn twice extended The Beatles' contract. They eventually left Germany following their final show at the club on 1 July 1961, having performed on stage for 503 hours during their stay.
Just Because
(Shelton/Shelton/Robin)
Well, well, well,
Just because you think you're so pretty,
And just because your momma thinks you're hot,
Well, just because you think you've got something
That no other girl has got,
You've caused me to spend all my money.
You laughed and called me old Santa Claus.
Well, I'm telling you,
Baby, I'm through with you.
Because, well well, just because.
Well, well, well,
There'll come a time when you'll be lonesome
And there'll come a time when you'll be blue.
Well, there'll come a time when old Santa
He won't pay your bills for you.
You've caused me to lose all my women
And now, now you say we are through.
Well, I'm telling you
Baby, I was through with you
A long long time ago.
Well, just because you think you're so pretty
And just because your mama thinks you're the hottest thing in
town
Well, just because you think you've got something
That nobody else has got,
You've caused me to spend all of my money.
Honey, you laughed and called me your old Santa Claus.

Roll Over Beethoven
(Berry)
Well gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It's a rockin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
Gotta hear it again today
You know my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
A heart beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got a rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues, whoo!
I think I got it off the writer
Sittin' down by the rhythm reviews
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin' in two by two
Well if you feel it and like it
Well get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just trifle further and reel and rock it
Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven
Rockin' in two by two, whoo!
Well early in the mornin'
I'm a givin' you the warnin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle
I'll play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She's got a crazy partner
Oughta see him reel and rock
As long as she got a dime
The music will never stop
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Dig to these rhythm and blues.
* Com a guitarra base de John dando pulso forte da gravação, George assume o vocal (gravado em duas pistas) nesta versão do clássico de Chuck Berry. Os Beatles tocavam esta música com frequência nas primeiras apresentações no Cavern e no Star Club, e sempre recebiam muitos pedidos para executá-la. Uma antiga gravação ao vivo pode ser ouvida em The Star Club Tapes.

*"Ticket to Ride" foi escrita por John e Paul como um single e descrita por John como "uma das primeiras gravações de heavy metal já feitas". Embora suas asas tenham sido cortadas por "You Really Got Me", do Kinks, na disputa, foi a primeira faixa dos Beatles a ter um riff insistente e alongado sustentado por uma forte bateria e a trazer um fade-out com uma melodia alterada.

Real Love
(Lennon)
All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dreams
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
Thought I'd been in love before
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real
It's real love, it's real
Yes it's real love, it's real.
*"Real Love" era uma canção em que John já trabalhara por pelo menos dois anos e, apesar de poucos saberem, uma versão dela foi usada em 1988 na trilha sonora do documentário Imagine, de Andrew Solt.

1966-O segundo dia de gravação do álbum dos Beatles Revolver viu a continuação do trabalho em Tomorrow Never Knows, e um nova versão de “Got To Get You Into My Life” (takes 1-5). Durante a segunda sessão do dia os Beatles começaram a trabalhar em Got To Get You Into My Life. Eles gravaram cinco takes, o último dos quais foi lançado em 1996 no Anthology 2. A gravação contou com harmônio, bateria, baixo, guitarra e violão. Antes do final da sessão McCartney fez overdub nos vocais e backing vocal e pandeiro foram adicionados por McCartney, Lennon e Harrison. No entanto, esta tentativa foi descartada em favor de um remake no dia seguinte.

Got To Get You Into My Life
(Lennon/McCartney)
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
Had you gone, you knew in time, we'd meet again
For I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be,
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you,
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day...
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there

Then suddenly I see you,
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day...
*John acreditava que, ao mencionar "another kind of mind" nas letras, Paul estivesse aludindo às suas experiências com drogas. Ele confirmou ser isso mesmo. Era um hino de louvor à maconha disfarçado de canção de amor. Não era de uma mulher que ele precisava todo dia, era de um baseado. * John believed that by mentioning "another kind of mind" in the lyrics, Paul was alluding to his experiences with drugs. He confirmed that. It was a hymn of praise to marijuana disguised as a love song. There was not a woman that he needed every day, was a joint.

1966-A primeira sessão de Revolver dos Beatles aconteceu neste dia, com três takes da notável Tomorrow Never Knows de John Lennon.A sessão teve lugar no estúdio três da EMI Studios, Abbey Road, e durou de 20:00 01:15. Neste momento a música tinha o título de trabalho de Mark I.
Embora nunca tenha sido bastante diferente da versão final Tomorrow Never Knows, Mark I representou um enorme salto a frente em termos de gravação dos Beatles. Take um, que foi lançado em 1996 no Anthology 2, soou muito diferente de tudo o que o grupo havia feito antes - e, na verdade, tinha pouca semelhança com a música contemporânea em geral.
06 de abril de 1966 foi essencialmente gasto no ritmo e vocal da faixa de música. A base da versão final de Tomorrow Never Knows era o take três, a última das tentativas do dia.
A faixa de ritmo continha bateria de Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney no baixo e tambura de George Harrison. Lennon, em seguida, acrescentou seus vocais, que foram alimentados através de um órgão Hammond do alto-falante de Leslie durante o segunda metade.
April 6
1966-The first session for The Beatles' Revolver took place on this day, with three takes of John Lennon's remarkable Tomorrow Never Knows.The session took place in studio three at EMI Studios, Abbey Road, and lasted from 8pm-1.15am. At this time the song had the working title Mark I.
Although quite different from the final version of Tomorrow Never Knows, Mark I represented a huge leap forward in recording terms for The Beatles. Take one, which was released on 1996's Anthology 2, sounded quite unlike anything the group had done before - and, indeed, bore little resemblance to contemporary music in general.
6 April 1966 was primarily spent on the song's rhythm track and vocals. The basis of the final version of Tomorrow Never Knows was take three, the last of the day's attempts.
The rhythm track contained Ringo Starr's drums, Paul McCartney's bass guitar and George Harrison's tambura. Lennon then added his lead vocals, which were fed through a Hammond organ's Leslie speaker during the second half.
Tomorrow Never Knows
(Lennon/McCartney)
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream, It is not dying, it is not dying Lay down all thought, surrender to the void, Is it shining? Is it shining? That you may see the meaning of within It is being, it is being Love is all and love is everyone Is it knowing? Is it knowing? That ignorance and hate may mourn the dead It is believing, it is believing But listen to the colour of your dreams Is it not living, is it not living Or play the game "Existence" to the end Of the beginning, of the beginning.
* O título provisório da faixa era "The Void", tirada de uma frase de Leary "Beyond the restless flowing electricity of Life is the ultimate reality- the Void". "O título final foi um chavão de Ringo adotado por John, porque conferia leveza ao que de outra forma poderia soar como uma jornada desolada rumo ao nada.
* The working title of the track was "The Void", a phrase taken from Leary's "Beyond the restless flowing electricity of Life is the ultimate reality-the Void." "The final title was a Ringo's slogan adopted by John, because it gave light to what otherwise might sound like a desolate journey towards to nothing.

A Hard Day's Night
(Lennon/McCartney)
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight,tight,yeah

Thank You Girl
(Lennon/McCartney)
Oh, oh,
You've been good to me,
You made me glad
When I was blue,
And eternally I'll always be
In love with you,
And all I gotta do
Is thank you girl, thank you girl.
I could tell the world
A thing or two about our love,
I know little girl,
Only a fool would doubt our love,
And all I gotta do
Is thank you girl, thank you girl.
Thank you girl for loving me
The way that you do, (way that you do),
That's the kind of love
That is too good to be true,
And all I gotta do
Is thank you girl, thank you girl.

1961-Esta foi a terceira noite dos Beatles na mais longa residência em Hamburgo, durante a qual desempenharam um total de 92 noites no Top Ten Club.
O clube era de propriedade de Peter Eckhorn, que pagou a cada um dos Beatles 35DM (£ 3) por dia. Eles foram contratados a tocar a partir de 19:00 até 02:00 de cada dia da semana, e até três horas nos fins de semana, com um intervalo de 15 minutos em cada hora.
As apresentações no Top Ten foram tão bem sucedidas que Eckhorn prorrogou por duas vezes o contrato com os Beatles. Eles finalmente deixaram a Alemanha após o seu último show no clube em 1 de Julho de 1961, tendo se apresentado no palco por 503 horas durante a sua estadia.

1970-A jornada de trabalho final dos Beatles no último álbum Let It Be foi uma sessão de mixagem e edição de três músicas.
Phil Spector trabalhou na sala quatro da EMI Studios, com o engenheiro Peter Bown e o operador de fitas Roger Ferris. As três músicas trabalhadas foram The Long And Winding Road, Across The Universe e I Me Mine.
Alguns trabalhos futuros foram exigidos nos dois últimos tracks. Spector editou, então diminuiu Across The Universe, alterou o tom de ré para dó sustenido, e combinou duas mixagens em estéreo de The Long And Winding Road - a edição pode ser ouvida em 1'26 ".
Após do acetato da sessão do álbum estarem completo foi enviado a cada um dos Beatles, para aprovação. Embora mais tarde ele expressem ressentimento pelo trabalho de Spector, Paul McCartney disse estar inicialmente satisfeito com o tratamento das gravações.

1970-The final day's work on The Beatles' last album Let It Be was a stereo mixing and edit session for three songs.
Phil Spector worked in room four of EMI Studios, with balance engineer Peter Bown and tape operator Roger Ferris. The three songs worked on were The Long And Winding Road, Across The Universe and I Me Mine.
Some further work was also required on the latter two tracks. Spector edited then slowed Across The Universe, changing the key from D to C#, and combined two stereo mixes of The Long And Winding Road - the edit can be heard at 1'26".
After the session acetates of the completed album were sent to each of The Beatles for approval. Although he later expressed bitter resentment at Spector's work, Paul McCartney is said to have initially been happy with the treatment of the recordings.
I Me Mine

(Harrison)
All through the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
All through the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Now they're frightened of leaving it,
Everyone's weaving it,
Going on strong all the time,
All through the day I me mine.
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
No-one's frightened of playing it,
Everyone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through the day I me mine.
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
No-one's frightened of playing it,
Everyone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through your life I me mine.
Now they're frightened of leaving it,
Everyone's weaving it,
Going on strong all the time,
All through the day I me mine.
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
No-one's frightened of playing it,
Everyone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through the day I me mine.
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
No-one's frightened of playing it,
Everyone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine,
All through your life I me mine.

1967-A última música a ser iniciada para o álbum Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band foi uma reprise da faixa-título. Ela foi gravada em uma única sessão neste dia.
A sessão aconteceu no enorme Estúdio 1 da EMI em Abbey Road, entre 7:00 da noite e 6:00 da manhã seguinte. Nove takes foram gravados; uma tentativa não utilizada, take cinco, foi incluído em 1996 no Anthology 2.
Cada membro dos Beatles tocando seus instrumentos convencionais, como um grupo, talvez por ocasião única do álbum. Paul McCartney cantou uma parte do vocal, e George Martin se juntou a eles no órgão.
McCartney, John Lennon e George Harrison overdubbed os vocais para o track três do take nove, e maracas e tamborim foram adicionados ao track quatro.
Sgt. Pepper Banda Lonely Hearts Club (Reprise) foi a única canção Sgt. Pepper que não teve mix de redução; as quatro tracks foram preenchidas com os instrumentos iniciais, os overdubs foram adicionados, então ela estava pronto para ser misturado para o álbum.
Nove mixagens em mono do take nove foram feitas durante esta sessão, a última das quais foi usada no álbum. Duplo tracking Artificial foi aplicado aos vocais, e alguns dos ruídos de multidão preparados em 6 de março de 1967 foram adicionados.

*Paul conta "one-two-three-four" e introduz a reprise da faixa de abertura-se você ouvir com fones de ouvido perceberá que John diz: "bye" entre o "two" e o "three". Não há vocalista principal nesta segunda versão; todos cantam a letra adaptada, em harmonização a três vozes-e, ao contrário da faixa de abertura, aqui não há trompas. A faixa acaba com o som abaixando sob os aplausos da platéia e da entrada em fade in do violão e do piano de "A Day In The Life".
* Paul counts "one-two-three-four" and introduces the reprise of the opening track, if you listen with headphones notice that John says "bye" between "two" and "three". There are no lead singer in this second version, all singing the lyrics adapted for matching the three voices, and, unlike the opening track, there are no trumpet. The track ends with the sound lowering of the applause of the audience and the entry into the fade in guitar and piano of "A Day In The Life."
