Description
The Songs Lennon & McCartney Gave Away, EMI NUT-18, 1979. 1st. UK pressing, 1979. The conceptual compilation album containing the original artist recordings of songs composed
by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in the 1960s that they had elected not to release as Beatles
songs. During their career as the main song writers for the Beatles, John Lennon and
Paul McCartney wrote a number of songs that thay gave away to other artists, many of whom
were old friends from Liverpool. Curiously, the first song that Lennon and McCartney gave
away “I’ll Be On My Way”, recorded by Billy J. Kramer in 1963, is also the only song
The Beatles officially recorded for BBC on 4 April 1963. Only one song on this album does
not come from The Beatles’ collective recording career, “I’m A Greatest”, a song written by
John Lennon that he gave to Ringo for his 1973 album, Ringo. The 19 remaining tracks perfomed
by ten other artists were given away during The Beatles’ career from 1962 to 1969. Front laminated sleeve printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd (mark 7904 TM on the back). On the
front side are all 11 artists who performed Beatles songs on this album. On the backside appeared
a specification of these images. Also there appears a large article by Tony Barrow.
