"Beatles Basics Vol.1" : 2002 (instrumental demo)
Did not want to listen to any of these prior to recording them.
Did not want to spoil it. Instead used score and charts and own
memory and imagination to just do it. Kinda/sorta managed a bit.
(Little chunk of Zimmerman tune at the end added just to make 14 tracks.)
Every Little Thing (2:09)
1964 Lennon/McCartney .Lyrics.
(... a favorite, having fun with tom-toms and bass don't think Ringo or Paul did...)
Thank You Girl (2:27)
1963 Lennon/McCartney .Lyrics.
(... has been in TheTop20 many, many months for some reason, made-up guitar solos...)
Tell Me Why (2:02)
1964 Lennon/McCartney .Lyrics.
(... think was doing the walking-bass-thing like the score read, another made-up solo...)
And I Love Her (2:19)
1964 Lennon/McCartney .Lyrics.
(... least favorite on here [yawn] even with made-up solo even...)
Anytime At All (2:34)
1964 Lennon/McCartney .Lyrics.
(... melody was not totally correct on the paper but the solo was, go figure...)
Day Tripper (2:47)
1965 Lennon/McCartney .Lyrics.
