Released: October 15, 2021

Songwriter: Ringo Starr George Harrison John Lennon Paul McCartney

Producer: Giles Martin George Martin The Beatles

[Paul McCartney]
Is anyone sort of thinking at this like making an album or more like sort of doing a lot of numbers, then to be able to play them all one after the other? 'Cause I'm still thinking—

[George Martin]
I'm thinking half to play them and half like an album

[George Harrison]
I'm thinking half we return to record them and if we then—

[John Lennon]
You know, say, say we did half of them this Thursday and then they didn't have to film the next lot of rehearsals or whatever

[Paul McCartney]
Yeah

[John Lennon]
And we do another lot and do them in the same place, you know
If we can't—
It's just that we can't learn another five or six good for Thursday
We just got "Don't Let Me Down" and "I've Got A Feeling" just how they should be when we hit it

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
