The Beatles - Demo’s EP
I purchased this many years ago at a record fair and includes the demos of songs that the Beatles wrote for other artists. These are songs recorded by the Beatles but released by other artists
Tracks
Side one
Goodbye a hit for Mary Hopkins but this is the McCartney demo
Come and Get It a number one hit for Badfinger the McCartney demo is almost identical
That means a lot It was released in 1965 by P.J. Proby. Proby's version reached #24 on the NME chart.Prior to the release by Proby, the Beatles recorded a version that was intended for the Help! film and soundtrack album.
Side Two
I’ll be on my Way first released on 26 April 1963 by Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas as the B-side of their hit debut single "Do You Want to Know a Secret", a song also written by Lennon–McCartney. The single reached number two in the UK charts while "From Me to You" by the Beatles occupied the number 1 position. The Beatles recorded a version of the song on 4 April 1963 for BBC radio,
"Bad to Me" is a song credited to Lennon–McCartney. In late interviews, John Lennon said that he wrote it for Billy J. Kramer with The Dakotaswhile on holiday in Spain. However, in a 1964 interview he said that he and Paul McCartney wrote it in the back of a van, declaring McCartney a contributor.
"I'm the Greatest" is a song written by English musician John Lennon that was released as the opening track of the 1973 album Ringo by Ringo Starr. With Starr, Lennon and George Harrison appearing on the track, it marks the only time that three former Beatles recorded together between the band's break-up in 1970 and Lennon's death in 1980. Lennon wrote the song in December 1970 as a wry comment on his rise to fame, and later tailored the lyrics for Starr to sing.This is the John Lennon demo
The vinyl is in excellent condition and the quality of the recording is as would be expected in none remastered demos of the 1960’s and 1970’s
