Title: Some Lennon/McCartney Songs Given Away to Other Artists
Post by: Flannel Boy on December 05, 2006, 01:07:55 AM

For the most part these were spare Beatles songs that John and Paul gave to other artists. So you won't find Strawberry Fields quality songs here.

There are others, but I only included the ones I could link to Youtube.

"A World Without Love" by Peter and Gordon (1964)

#1 UK and #1 US and in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame top 500

"Woman" by Peter and Gordon (1966)

 'I'm in Love' was inexplicably tossed aside.
 Ha, those Youtubers and their tributes... I could only find it here.

Terrible audio quality aside, that demo is miles better than the version the The Fourmost's recorded.

Good find. Thanks.
