The Top Secret 1965 Solo Paul McCartney Beatles Album That Never Was 

It is mentioned during the Beatles Anthology documentary, but Paul said he did not remember such a suggestion and if so, he would've turn it down... which is consistent with the fact that Paul tried very hard to keep the Beatles together for the last few years of the band's existence. So a solo career is not something he ambitioned.

It would have been a bad idea to release a solo Paul McCartney Beatles album. The royalties would have gone to Lennon - McCartney as songwriters and George Harrison and Ringo Starr left out entirely. A release like this would have stirred the pot a little too much.

I think 1965 would have been too early for a solo album, but always thought they could have saved the group by doing solo albums after Let it Be. Each member could have gone off and completed their solo projects and then come back together once in a while to do a Beatles album. George implied this idea in a conversation with John in the Get Back film.

A double album compilation with 1 side consigned to each member of the band might have been quite interesting. Ringo's side with perhaps "Goodnight" at the end would have been surprisingly strong. No... I'm just looking forward to whatever gets released next. When you get to my age, you just hope they come around a bit quicker.

Brian Wilson released Caroline No as a solo single, around the time of Pet Sounds, which also featured the song.

I always dug "I'm down", one of Paul's finest rockerso

Should be noted that here in the US, David and Jonathan's version of Michelle was much bigger than the Overlanders.

Good video. That cover you came up with give me a little Tom Jones vibes haha. Imagine Wings appearing in 1967. We would have missed all the real magic and fantasy.

Andrew that period correct Sears Hi-Fi price tag in the thumbnail sold me on this video!😮

I will be surprised if anybody scrolls down to this comment and reads it, but... Paul had a batch of recordings he could have used in 1965. There is a recording of "A Love For You" recorded back then, filled with that fantastic fuzz bass sound that is typical of 'Rubber Soul'. It differs from the version released on the latest edition of 'Ram' in that there is no electric keyboard in the '65 version, and Linda McCartney didn't sing back-up in that version. (BTW, this version was released with overdubs, in 2002 on the soundtrack, "The In-Laws") There was also "That Means A Lot", as heard on Anthology 2. While the Beatles rejected this one, Paul could have collaborated with George Martin, made all of the decisions and created something delicious out of it. If Anthology is any indication, the other Beatles probably wouldn't have cared. As others have already commented, "I'm Down" would have been a prime candidate for this LP. For the record, when the Beatles (meaning, Paul as soloist) played Yesterday in Japan, Paul was given sole credit for the song, and was allowed to play solo as the rest of the band exited the stage. So the other Beatles already regarded this song as a Paul McCartney solo effort. I don't think it would have hurt the band had a McCartney solo LP popped up in '65. Sure, they would have been miffed, maybe even Paul himself, but Capitol was used to doing things without the band's approval, so they probably could have gotten away with it.

Good track list! I also added "Thinks We Said Today," "Can't Buy Me Love," "I've Just Seen a Face" and "Long Tall Sally"to make a 14 song album and it's still only 32 minutes in total.

I like your videos, and the hypothetical album is very imaginative. I especially like the front and back cover designs. For the rocking side of Paul, I certainly would have included "I'm Down," which is a great rocker. The Beatles themselves considered it good enough to play on their final live appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, one day before the Shea Stadium concert (where they also played "I'm Down").

Brian Wilson also had a "solo" single in 1966, Caroline No/Let's Go Away For Awhile IIRC. The Stones released Bill Wyman's song "In Another Land" with him credited as a solo singer in 1967.

If you're doing a "rocker" side, its impossible to end it with anything other than I'm Down, which could arguably be considered as one of the first punk tracks ever.

So as this was a Capitol idea, I think it would have been half originals, half covers. Had this gone ahead, I think Paul would have recorded a bunch of the songs he and John had given away along with a bunch of covers that he liked. John, George and Ringo would have recorded it with Paul and given themselves pseudonyms and the four would have had a laugh over it. I see the track list being something like this: 1. Yesterday (Lennon/McCartney) 2. That Means a Lot (Lennon/McCartney) 3. Besame Mucho 4. Like Dreamers Do (Lennon/McCartney) 5. She Said Yeah 6. It's For You (Lennon/McCartney) 7. All Shook Up 8. Woman (Lennon/McCartney) 9. Blue Moon of Kentucky 10. Love of the Loved (Lennon/McCartney) 11. Honey Hush I think as they had "That Means a Lot" finished, that would have gone on the album. Most US audiences would not have been aware of the songs John and Paul wrote for Cilla Black and other Epstein managed acts, so I think those tracks would have been recorded with Paul singing lead and then the boys would have gone ahead with recording Rubber Soul.

Mccartney did eventually become the first Beatle to release a solo album with "The Family Way" soundtrack with music composed by Paul McCartney on January 6th, 1967.

In a similar vein, I know some countries (possibly Mexico) released EP's featuring individual Beatles, such as Ringo singing _Yellow Submarine, Octopus's Garden, With A Little Help From My Friends_ and maybe _Act Naturally_ or _Boys._ And of course, in 1967 or 1968 Paul toyed with the idea of a solo album of his experimental stuff, called _Paul McCartney Goes Too Far._ John loved that title and urged him to do it, but of course he didn't.

This sure brings back great memories for me. I was a teenager and I bought the "Yesterday/Act Naturally" single when it first came out. I loved both sides, and it was a brilliant decision by Capitol to add "Act Naturally", written by Buck Owens, who was also a hugely popular Capitol act at the time. Buck recalled many years later: "I had heard about the Beatles, but I didn't pay a lot of attention to them at the time. Then they recorded "Act Naturally". A few weeks later my first royalty cheque arrived in the mail. It was for $100,000. I paid a lot of attention to the Beatles after that!"

Outstanding video, Andrew! Kudos to you for finding the Dexter memo. Wow!

Fascinating Beatles history, both real and hypothetical! If Paul were to have released a solo record at the time, then it might have taken the form of him performing all the songs he wrote for other people like Billy J Kramer or Peter & Gordon. Imagine properly recorded versions of Nobody I Know, World Without Love, From a Window etc. The other Beatles could have been placated by it being released under a pseudonym, like he did with Thrillington, and letting rumour do the marketing.

The history of things that didn't happen, like this proposed Paul record, is usually less interesting than the history of things that did happen. The gold nugget here, for me, is the fact that a group I had never heard of, the Overlanders, had a #1 hit in the UK with Michelle in 1966. (And it sounds good, unlike the David & Jonathan version which also charted.) No matter how long we spend on the Beatles' music and story, there is always more out there to discover!

I think a standalone McCartney album would be a terrible idea if it was simply going to recycle already available material. However if it had tapped into the bag of unreleased McCartney material of the time - That Means a Lot, Woman, World Without Love, From a Window, One and One Is Two, Like Dreamers Do, Nobody I Know, I Don't Want to See You Again, It's For You, etc. - then it might make for an intriguing release. In fact, there really ought to be a collection of McCartney's early demos anyway, so maybe they should focus on this immediately in the time being.

Interesting video Handsome. Yes in the US it would seem probable that Paul would be the spin off act from the group as he was the most popular in the teen magazines. He was the loveable one. John was scary, George was mystical and Ringo was the funny one. I would put I'm Down (Live) instead of Long Tall Sally

This is a very interesting video. I was a lucky American kid in the 1960's whose father was an audiophile and who would bring home the Parlophone (UK) versions of Beatles albums for me and my brother. We had a different take on what constituted a "real" Beatles album than what our friends thought. I was a little too young to appreciate the earliest Beatles albums but by 1965, I had seen the movie "Help!" and was deeply affected by Beatlemania. (I got to see the Beatles penultimate concert performance on 8/28/66 at Dodger's Stadium in LA.) I was particularly aware of the differences between the UK and the US versions of "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" and thought the UK versions were vastly superior. To this day, I think many Americans don't appreciate the song, "Drive My Car" because it was omitted from the American version of "Rubber Soul". Clearly, Capitol thought the American audience would like the country-tinged "I've Just Seen a Face" better than "Drive My Car" and opened the album with it instead of DMC. This was possible because they had left "I've Just Seen a Face" off "Help!", where it originally appeared in the UK. But unfortunately, by omitting "Drive My Car" from "Rubber Soul", Capitol changed the whole feel of the album for Americans. The Beatles were big fans of American R&B and Motown and successfully covered several of these songs, particularly "Twist and Shout", "Please Mr. Postman" and "Long Tall Sally". I've always held that by calling the album "Rubber Soul", the Beatles were making a play-on-words, implying that with their original songs on "Rubber Soul" like "Drive My Car", "You Won't See Me", "The Word" and "Think For Yourself", they had actually written some "R&B" songs on par with their American counterparts. What I find most strange with Capitol's "bastardization" of Beatles albums is what they did to "Revolver". The three songs they omitted from the UK version were all Lennon songs. ("I'm Only Sleeping", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Dr. Robert"). This left Lennon singing lead on only 2 songs. ("She Said, She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows"). Harrison uncharacteristically sang lead on 3 songs, Ringo got one and McCartney sang lead on all the rest. I always wondered how Lennon felt about his greatly reduced presence on Revolver in the US or if he even cared. Surely he was aware of it and how this contributed to the erosion of his preeminent position as the "leader" of the early Beatles. Finally, starting with their next album, Sgt. Pepper, the UK and US versions of Beatles albums ceased to have different songs.

I can see see why Capitol wanted to push Paul as a solo star, his compositions clearly had massive appeal for US radio.

Another great video Andrew! Every one of your videos is like taking a course in advanced "Beatleology". I always learn something new from them!

Paul’s songs might have been ‘muzak’ to John but they were and still are pure gold for the record companies.

this channel never fails to deliver fresh, quality Beatles content. Seriously the best there is on YT!

Awesome video Andrew! Probably a good thing that Paul didn't get a solo album though, as The Beatles would have more than likely broke up

Amazing video Andrew! 👍 You did a great research, I can't wait to see the next one. Nice topic and thanks again!

Yet again Andrew you’ve delivered more wonderful & insightful content. The effort you put into the creative styling is the best out there. I can’t wait for the next nugget!

What an incredible story, Andrew! I didn't know about this proposed Capitol album until now. I think though that McCartney produced an album around Christmas 1965 fearuring some of his favourite records. Apparently only a few copies were pressed with three given to the other Beatles. Apologies if I've got some of my facts mixed up here! Great video, Andrew!

Alan Livingstone seemed to have the typical record producer's idea of "Who is the star of the group we can market?" Even George Martin had that intention at first, based on the usual pattern of a group being one standout star with backup musicians. But Martin was smart to realize that this was a new concept - a group where every member played an important role. Even George and Ringo got to sing.

When "Yesterday" was released, like you said, it was a hit around the world, whether it was released as a single or not. The Beatles had many, many songs that were like that. No doubt, Capitol wanted to get at the McCartney songbook in this way. I remember hearing about this concept a long time ago, but that you located the Capitol documents through a library collection, that's epic! Thanks Andrew.

On an imaginary Paul solo album I certainly wouldn't lift old Beatle tracks to fill it out. I think Sir Paul had the ability to supply plenty of his own material. For example he could have recorded solo versions of some songs he gave away like World Without Love. That would have been very interesting.

Andrew,you've done it again,Fab job as always

I’ve always wondered what would have been on “the next Beatles album?” It would most likely be tracks from the first solo releases, songs that were being worked on and were bonus tracks in the Get Back and Abbey Road deluxe releases.

Just a thought Andrew, unlike "Yesterday," "MIchelle" DID have the others in the background vocals, so it's not really' like the Yesterday arrangement, but it's more like Elenore Rigby or hte latter She's Leaving Home. I'm old now, and memory fading, but to me 'Yesterday" has more in common with "Blackbird" or "I Will," etc. No other fabs involvement. Love your videos. This was another great watch. Thanks. :- )

Another fascinating video Andrew. Thank you!

Great video Andrew. This album would have had an interesting outcome, had Paul McCartney had his Solo album

This just confirms what I've always felt about the Beatles and Paul McCartney. That he was the major talent among the band. We all know that John and George could pen a good song too, but Paul just seems to have that natural gift as a song writer that stands out from the others. And that he had been even before the advent of the Beatles.

I think you’ve nailed the track listing 💯%! .. and I love the yellow cover 💕

The McCartney mock up covers are sensational. Well Done!

Great video as it always is with this channel! Now I can't wait to hear that tracklist you've created. For me, the one obvious absence on side 2 ('For the Kids') is I'm Down (not appearing on any LP made it the low hangin fruit!) - unless you were looking for tracks with less prominent background vocals from John & George.

Another Brilliant video Andrew!!! Great song selection as well as the cover art👍👍

I wanted to mention this earlier, but I loved the artwork for the cover. The Sears sticker and the price were a very nice touch. I'm surprised that Dave Dexter, Jr spoke up and said this would be bad for the group "the other three would scream". I'm sure they would've. Great video. I had a thought the back cover would say "Other Solo albums by Paul McCartney include his third solo album, III, available in 72 different colors. Get yours right now 'cuz they'll all sell out by next week".

I thought this was going to be about Unforgettable!

What a great video with details I wasn't aware of regarding the idea of a solo Paul album in the mid-60's. I never thought Michelle had the potential of becoming as big a hit as Yesterday. It seemed rather light and sing songy compared to the substance and emotional power of the other and I was actually surprised that it was received as well as it was.

I like your selections for the McCartney solo album of 1965 that never was. The only change I would make is having "Things We Said Today" on the A side, and " I'm Down" on the B side.

1965 was not the height of the Beatles fame. They continued to become more famous right up tot he point they disbanded, maybe only taking a dip with their last record, 'Let It Be.' If they were able to get a hold of the demos Paul had made of the songs he gave to others to record they could easily create a McCartney only album. There were also songs he sang solo which were recorded with the Beatles which were rejected. Some of these might be Cilla Black's - ‘It’s For You’ Peter & Gordon's - ‘A World Without Love’ Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas' - ‘I’ll Be On My Way’ Gerry and the Pacemakers' - ‘Hello Little Girl’ Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas' - ‘Bad To Me’ Tommy Quickly's - ‘Tip Of My Tongue’ Cilla black's - ‘Love of the Loved’ Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas' - I’m in Love’ Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas' - ‘I’ll Keep You Satisfied’ The Fourmost's - ‘I’m In Love’ The Applejacks' - ‘Like Dreamers Do’ Peter and Gordon's - ‘Nobody I Know’ Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas' - ‘From A Window’ P.J. Proby's - ‘That Means A Lot’

In Germany "Yesterday" was used as the B-side of "Act Naturally". A weird choice retrospectively.

It's funny to think that within the short space of the 2 years after 1965, both Paul and George DID release solo projects. Paul's was a classical orchestra composition for a soundtrack for "The Family Way" released 6 January 1967, although his contribution to the total effort was minimal. George's was the famous ground-breaking beautifully produced "Wonderwall Music" soundtrack released 1 November 1968, one of my obscure favorites!

I personally like videos such as this; it’s an entertaining way to learn about the bands history. Thanks as always, Andrew!

Theres so many I could put on a Paul McCartney solo album of Beatles songs and it would be from 1960 and onwards to the days of Let It Be and beyond

Awesome artwork for a proposed album! However, I’m sure glad it didn’t happen! Ringo might not have cared much, but I believe John and George would have. The resentment towards Paul would have started before Brian passed away. - Roger

I love the covers. Man….you should be working with Apple on stuff. They should make this album for real 👍🏼. You could do a themed album for each of them

Being more of a Lennon fan I would prefer a solo disc (from the same time period) by him instead. Now there is a challenge for you Andrew!! 🙂

One of your most interesting videos so far, Andrew. Keep up the good job. And thank you!!

Can you imagine what Capitol’s 11-song-per Beatle album marketing strategy would have done to the White Album sessions had The Beatles not stopped Capitol from butchering their albums? Capitol no doubt would have taken the 30 songs scheduled for it and added 3 songs from their recent singles (Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, and Revolution) to make 33 songs, and split the bunch onto THREE 11 song LPs!

The "what if" cover designs and tracklist are brilliant! After a bit of thought, I would replace The Night Before and Long Tall Sally with Can't Buy Me Love and I'm Down, since neither had yet been on a Capitol LP and both existed in the hypothetical timeframe. While there was, at the time, a legal consideration re: Can't Buy Me Love, I could see Capitol slipping it onto a "Paul McCartney" vs. a "Beatles" release and taking advantage of the potential loophole!

Ooh I like it. New playlist time! I like the Sears price tag on the album, nice touch!

I recall watching a Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show where they debuted the song "Yesterday". George introduced the song, and said that it would be featured in an upcoming album "featuring just Paul". The single came out soon after that appearance on the Sullivan show, but no such album ever materialized. I had forgotten about that until I saw this video. Thanks for shaking that memory loose!

Great vid! The band and Macca had heard this and turned it down. Had they tried to be “cute” and go through with it I think that would’ve been “The End”!😄

Amazing job on the cover art! Excellent, informative video too, cheers!

I think I'm Down would count if you are going to include Long Tall Sally. Recently I saw a Bootleg with just Lennon/McCartney songs from The White Album.(That didn't work either) Great show as always

Love this channel, your attention to detail is amazing, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve never thought of P.S. I Love You as a “Paul” song, rather a 3-part harmony in which only one voice sings all of the words. Side 2 is solid enough. I think Side 1 would drag a bit. Things We Said Today is the notable omission. (Edit: having said that, leaving off Things We Said Today is exactly the kind of stunt Capitol would have pulled.)

Interesting as always. Thanks, Andrew! No alternative running order, but I would definitely include "Can't Buy Me Love" somewhere.

Wonderful video, your choices were superb. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fantastic video, Andrew! I love these little lost stories that crop up! Funnily enough, I remember Paul’s 1989 series of interviews with DJ Mike Read “McCartney on McCartney” where he said he was toying with the idea of putting a solo album out in about 1968. It was going to be called ‘Paul McCartney’s Gone Too Far”. Even John thought it was a great idea, but they settled on recording Hey Jude instead. I wonder if that would have been a more avant guarde album like what George and John were bringing out at the time.

Drop "Till There Was You" from side one and start the side with "I've Just Seen A Face" (recorded on the same day as "Yesterday"), then drop one of the two covers from side two, and put in "I'm Down", (rocking it and rolling it and also recorded on the same day as "Yesterday), it would be ALMOST all Macca. Keep "Long Tall Sally" as the token 'cover'.

Michelle did win a Grammy award for Song of the Year!

Would “I’m Down” have been available for this album? For years, it was one of the few songs not available on a US LP.

I had no idea! I'm amazed I never heard about this before.

Another gem Andrew! I personally would've thrown in Things We Said Today, Another Girl (since Paul does play guitar on that) and/or I've Just Seen A Face. Btw your list does work not only with the 11 songs, but you kept it under a half hour in total length, like all the Capitol LPs. Clocks in at 25:01, less than a minute shorter than the Something New LP. (Not as bad as any DC5 album that's for sure!)😉

So many tracks oh Paul singing lead vocals, and in my opinion such a varied selection! Which I think would be the best way to promote Paul. I would include Here There and Everywhere, oh darling, blackbird, Michelle and so many more. You could probably still do it today! I believe it's worth two albums

This video is awesome! I had never heard of a Paul Solo album to be released back then. In hindsight, it was best that they kept a lid on that project as they were a phenomenon of four. Once they split up, all was fair game.

Andrew! You are amazing!! Great job!! Thank you 🙏

I think capitol could have easily made this a reality after what they did to create 'additional' Beatle albums 1963-66 but what is a reality is the solo careers of all The Beatles and I think they all recorded some of their best work in the '70's-Paul and the 'Ram' Album,John and the 'Imagine' Album, and of course George and 'All Things Must Pass' and Ringo's big single 'It don't come easy'

Interesting this was the first I heard of a possible Paul solo album at the height of Beatlemania! Thanks Parlogram. We all know when Paul played Yesterday to George Martin he immediately knew it wasn’t a group Beatles song & suggested strings- or a small string quartet. Naturally the single release was issued as the Beatles. There was no way Epstein or the Beatles would have issued the single by Paul McCartney. But it’s amazing how Alan Livingston’s Memo stated a possible solo Paul album- as per Dave Dexter Jr. he knew it wouldn’t work. It would have been a bad marketing move for the Beatles(although it would have brought more revenue in having both Beatles records & a McCartney solo album released too). I agreed with most of the songs you chose for the proposed Paul 1965 album - I also would have put Michelle on the record. The cover photo of Paul I would have added a photo of him holding an acoustic guitar, and the back cover a pic of the Beatles w/Paul in the foreground? I’ve Just Seen a Face also could have been put on the album. I liked the Overlanders version of Michelle, David & Jonathon version was ok too. I like to listen to more Beatles versions by these artists & even the later Apple Records groups. However Paul & the Beatles original version are so much better-any other group or singers not even close! Cheers. 0:06

One of your best Andrew. Thank You.

Those covers are beautiful and amazing!

I love your channel. I thought I knew everything about the Beatles. Been a fan of them since the mid 70's when I heard Got To Get You Into My Life on the overhead speakers in Zares Department store. Plus my mom and dad had quite a collection of 45's and albums. It makes my weekend to learn more about my favorite band of all time. Keep up the good work 👍. Jeff

Fascinating video Andrew, if there's an alternative universe where the Beatles broke up, or Paul left, in the mid 60s - that album would have caused it! Re the covers: I actually preferred David and Jonathan's 'Michelle'. It's a wonderful treatment of the song, the great harmonies on the French bits give it an extra mystique and apparently George Martin was at the helm!

Beautifully done album cover. Done just perfect for 1965. The reality is this would only be of interest to Capitol for making more profit off the Beatles. The Beatles themselves would've had no desire to release it. My first impression of the idea is that it would be hypocritical to have released it. At this time, it wasn't about one Beatle, it was them as whole.

Smashing Idea. Just the photos of the Capital executives tell the tale that the creatives truly were at the hands of the public whims, no whims no album. At this point Paul has WINGS! ❤ 👑

How much sooner would the Beatles have broken up had they released a McCartney LP in '65?

So the way I'm thinking of it is Paul recording all new versions, with some mixture of like symphonic elements, session musicians, and himself. Really like a proper pop solo artist record that youd find all over in the era. And I'm imagining it as coming out in early 66 when the Beatles ended up on holiday, before the Revolver sessions. A little later than Capitol would've jumped on the success of Yesterday but we're already messing about with history and timelines so I don't care lol. Side 1: Can't Buy Me Love And I Love Her The Night Before For No One Yesterday Side 2: Michelle I'll Be on My Way Woman That Means a Lot I'll Follow the Sun I've Just Seen a Face

If this doesn't get buried, I do know that there was Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da b/w While My Guitar Gently Weeps as a single in Australia. My Mum had it until I came along (kids and records don't mix!) and I've seen (and held) a copy for sale a whole once, but I didn't have enough money at the time and that shop is now closed. I'd love to see that covered.

Nice to see that you can play some Beatles tracks now.

I remember the Overlanders 'Michelle' from the 60s, I was 7 in 1966 - never heard the David and Jonathan version before. Ridiculously, I never realized it was a Beatles track till the 1980s, and never heard Rubber Soul till c1996. Then discovered for the first time that 'Girl' and 'Norwegian Wood' were also Beatles tracks!

Very enjoyable! One of the reasons I love your episodes is that sometimes you require us to think. Quite interesting to think that there [may] have been a solo McCartney Lp. It most assuredly would have broken the group up in my opinion; that Lennon and Harrison, who quipped on live broadcasts when Paul performed the tune showed that there was some fragile egos going on in the group. But if there was such an LP I think there could have been some other tunes to augment, or replace, the tracklist you have lovingly provided. Songs like ‘One And One is Two’, ‘World Without Love’, Woman, and maybe McCartney’s solo demo of ‘We can Work It Out’ …? Great episode again. 👍👍…I did not know of a possible solo McCartney venture at all.

Liked the cue mark in the upper right hand corner before the commercial 8:26

I learn from you every video you post! Thank you for your hard work!

i may not have noticed before this, but congrats on getting to use actual Beatles songs on your videos!

Paul Would Of Had Enough New Songs To Record For A Solo LP, And That Would Not Have Been An Issue W The Others... Everyone Would Of Ended Up Doing One & That Would Be Fab! Fun That We Are All Able To Speculate And Fantasize... Great Show. 🍎🍏🍎🍏 🎹

Fascinating story, Andrew! I'm not surprised that Capitol thought about doing that-- typical record company antics. It reminds me of a comic in Mad magazine in the early 1960s (before my time, actually) called "The Rise and Fall of a Recording Star"-- do an image search and you'll find it. :)

I genuinely appreciate the work you’re doing, and the information you provided is simply remarkable. I’ve been a Beatles fan since 1963, when my mom brought home the Swan label picture sleeve of She Loves You/ I’ll Get You. Some of the information you have provided is has been incredibly insightful and fun. There was a time when I thought I knew all there was to know about The Beatles…… you continue to prove me wrong. Thank you so much, and keep up the amazing job you’re doing.

10:53 All I have to do now is time-travel back to 1965 and pop into a Sears to pick up this LP!

Loved the 'Mother' touch. 'On tour, no one can hear you scream.'
