The Beatles Songbook

THE BEATLES SONG BOOK FROM A TO Z

by John Whelan

The above illustration was done by Fiona Andreanelli for the inner sleeve "Yellow Submarine Songtrack." Not many films have remained as classics over the years, but I've felt that "Yellow Submarine" now some 30 years old and up is very comparable to another classic that stood the test of time: "The Wizard of Oz". As you know, the "Wizard of Oz" predates the Beatles "Yellow Submarine" -- both films are timeless and contain a magical charm all of their own!
- John Whelan, Researcher for the Ottawa Beatles Site, September 20, 2000

The following is a listing of all compositions by The Beatles
LEGEND: The song is indicated along with which album it first appeared on, followed by its release date in the United States. The final date indicates when the session for the recording commenced. This does not include alternate mixes, takes and editing bits. For a complete breakdown on the alternate takes, mixes and editing and fine details for all tracks, I recommend Mark Lewisohn's "Recording Sessions."

The above photo is taken from the album "Class of 55" released on Mercury Records in 1986. It is the only album ever recorded with four of the major Sun Records artists recording together: (Left photo, 1986) Jerry Lee Lewis who played at the Toronto Varisty Stadium in 1969 which included the concert performance from John Lennon and Yoko Ono. (Center photo, 1986) Roy Orbison who played in George Harrison's Travelling Wilbury's. (Right photo, 1986) Carl Perkins, a great rock-a-billy composer, found the Beatles doing cover versions of his songs such as "Honey Don't" and "Matchbox" to name a few later teamed up with Paul McCartney on a track called "Get It" from his "Tug of War" album. Johnny Cash appeared on the album but the photo is absent since he did not make any significant impact on the Beatles music.
These 1950s rock'n'roll artists are some of the top major acts that had an influence on the Beatles music in those early years of the groups musical growth and maturity.
