Here is a brief episode of The Beatles, the cartoon series. Featuring "I’ll Follow the Sun" and some really dry humour. I particularly like the bit where John and Paul are under the car.
"Who’s fixing a motor? We’re writing another song." - Cartoon John
Enjoy.

While it wasn’t recorded in studio until late 1964, Paul wrote "I’ll Follow the Sun" in 1960. Here is the audio of a demo The Beatles made of the song in April 1960 before Ringo and even before Pete Best had joined. The lineup: John, Paul, George, Stuart Sutcliffe, with Paul’s brother Mike on drums. […]
"Eight Days a Week" is a true John/Paul collaboration which is notable for the amount of studio work it involved. By now The Beatles were quite comfortable with the studio and could afford to play around a bit and try different things.

"I’ll Follow the Sun" is The Beatles at their folksiest. The sound is soft and sparse, based […]
The third track of the so-called "Lennon Trilogy" that opens "Beatles for Sale", is "Baby’s in Black." It was inspired by German photographer Astrid Kirchner, who had a relationship with bassist Stuart Sutcliffe while the early Beatles were in Hamburg. Kirchner supposedly never got over Sutcliffe’s sudden death from a brain hemorrhage.
When recording the track, […]
John supposedly constantly felt like a loser in life. "I’m a Loser" features a style heavily influenced by Bob Dylan to tell of love lost. The song is notable for its low notes, including a low G. While John usually sang with a tenor range, this is squarely in the territory of bass singers.
On early […]

The opening track of “Beatles for Sale” is John’s “No Reply”. The lyrics describe a girlfriend who has been unfaithful and now won’t come to the door or answer the phone.
A giggle-riddled demo recorded on 3 June 1964 can be heard on “The Beatles Anthology”. With Ringo sick, a session drummer named Jimmy Nicol […]
Eleven days after the release of “Beatles for Sale” in the UK, a similar album entitled “Beatles ‘65″ was released in the US. This version left out “Eight Days a Week”, “Every Little Thing”, “I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party”, “What You’re Doing”, and the covers “Words of Love”, and “Kansas City/Hey, Hey, […]
