REVIEWS

I'm trilled you had such success ! I continue to play your latest album on my show-- It's a great record

Alan Haber, Pure Pop Radio Show - 9/01/99 - USA


" No, this is not your typical Beatle band, for two reasons: 1. Sgt. Pepper’s Band does only songs the Beatles wrote but never released (until the Anthology series, that is). 2.This band puts its own spin on the songs. You’ve never heard “If You’ve Got Trouble” and “I’ll Keep You Satisfied” like this, folks! And they’re from Brazil! And they’re amazing! ’Nuff said! "

David Bash - Pure Pop Magazine - 5 April 1999 - Virginia - USA


This is a killer track. George's early composition, You Know What to Do, didn't see the light of day until it was included on Anthololgy 1 back in November of '95. I don't know if the "Quiet One" has heard this version, but I can't help but think he'd be pleased. George fans will especially enjoy the vocals and slide guitar work, and there's even a little something for Beach Boys fans. I don't know what else to say except that I've listened to this track more than Vertical Man and Sir George's In My Life. I give it a 10 out of 10, Five Stars, and Two Thumbs Up.

Tip Of My Toungue

Written by Paul McCartney and added to the Beatles' repertoire in 1962.The group recorded it on 26 November 1962 in the same historical session when they recorded Please Please Me but it was left on the shelf. Launched in England on 30 July 1963, by Tommy Quickly but failed to chart.

 

When I want to speak to you
It something takes a week or two
To think of all the things I want to say
But words just stay on the tip of my toungue
 

When the skies are not so blue
There's nothing left for me to do
Just think of something new to say to you
But words just stay on the tip of my toungue
 

People say I'm lonely
You know that's not true
I'm just waiting for a chance
To prove my love for you
 

Soon enough my time will come
And after all is said and done
I'll marry you and we will live as one
With no more words on the tip of my toungue


I'll Keep You Satisfied

Third song from Paul to Billy J. Kramer. It was issued on 1 November 1993 and reached no. 4 in the charts. The Beatles never recorded this number and didn't even tape it during their numerous BBC radio session.
 

You don't need anybody to hold you
Here I stand with my eyes open wide
Give me love and remember what I told you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

You don't need anybody to kiss you
Everyday I'll be here by your side
Don't go away, I'm afraid that I might miss you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

You can always get a simple thing like love anytime
But it's different with a boy like me
And a love like mine
 

So believe everything that I told you
And agree that with me by your side
You don't need anybody to hold you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

You can always get a simple thing like love anytime
But it's different with a boy like me
And a love like mine
 

So believe everything that I told you
And agree that with me by your side
You don't need anybody to hold you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

Give me love and remember what I told you
I'll keep you satisfied


Step Inside Love

Cilla Black recorded this song. Paul composed this number for Cilla's 1968 television show "Cilla" and recorded an acoustic version of the number for and it can be found in some bootleg records. Produced by George Martin, it was issued in Britain on 8 May 1968 and reached no. 8 in the British charts.
 

Step inside love let me find you a place
Who cares of the day will be carried away
By the smile on your face we are together now and forever
Come  my way Step inside love and stay
Step inside love Step inside love  I want you to stay
 
 

You look tired love let me turn down the light
Come in out of the cold rest your head on my shoulder
And love me tonight I'll always be here if you should need me
Night and day Step inside love and stay
Step inside love  Step inside love  I want you to stay
 
 

When you leave me say you'll see me again
For I'll know in my heart we will not be apart
And I'll miss you till them /We'll be together now and forever
Come my way Step inside love and stay
Step inside love Step inside love  I want you to stay


Sour Milk Sea

Written by George Harrison in February 1968 while The Beatles were in relaxing at the Mararishi's ashram. For some reason they didn't put the number as a possible song to recorded by The Beatles but kept it untill he had the opportunity of recording an old friend, Liverpool singer Jackie Lomax. George Harrison produced the song and played guitar along Jackie, Eric Clapton, Ringo and Hick Hopkins.
 

 

If your life's not right doesn't satisfy you
You don't get the breaks like some of us do
Better work it out find where you're gone wrong
Better do it soon as you don't have long
 

Get out of the sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
 

If you want the most of everything you do
In the shortest time your dreams come true
In no time at all it makes you more aware
A very simple process takes you there
 

Get out of the sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
 

Looking for release from limitation
It's nothing much without illumination
You fooled around with every different cult
There's only one thing here that brings result
 

Get out of the sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there


Love Of The Loved

One of the earliest of the Paul McCartney compositions. It was also of the handful of original songs they performed at their Decca Records audition. Brian Epstein insisted on giving it to his latest signing Cilla Black ( originally Priscilla White ). It was launched in September 1963 but it wasn't a big hit for her.
 

Each time I look into your eyes
I see that there, there heaven lies
And as I look I see the love of the loved
 

Someday they'll see that from the start
My place has been deep in your heart
And in your heart I see the love of the loved
 

Though I've said it all before
I will say it more and more
Cause I'm really sure you love me

And I know that from today
I will see it in the way
You look at me and say you love me
 

So let it rain, what do I care ?
Deep in your heart, I'll still be there
And when I'm there
I see the love of the loved
 

Though I've said it all before
I will say it more and more
Cause I'm really sure you love me

And I know that from today
I will see it in the way
You look at me and say you love me
 

So let it rain, what do I care ?
Deep in your heart, I'll still be there
And when I'm there I see the love of the loved


Like Dreamers Do

A Paul McCartney composition which The Beatles included amongst the thirteen numbers at their Decca recording audition. The song was later recorded by the Applejacks who reached no. 7 in the British charts. It was the Paul's early compositions and was included in the repertoire of the Quarry Men
 

I, I saw a girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I would love her
Oh you, you are the girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I will love you
And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do
 

You, you come just one dream ago
And now I know that I will love you
Oh I knew when you first said hello
That's how I know that I will love you

And I waited for your kis
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do

And I, I, I, I, I'll be there, yes I will
I'll be there waiting fot you
 

You, you come just one dream ago
And now I know that I will love you
And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do
 

I, I saw a girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I would love her
Oh you, you are the girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I will love you
And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do


Hello Little Girl

John was to comment, "This was one of the first songs I ever finished. I think it was the first song of my own that I attempted to do with the group". It was recorded by The Fourmost in August 1963, being a hit during 17 weeks and reached no.9 in chart. The Beatles performed the number on their Decca and Parlophone recording auditions in 1962.
 
 

When I see you everyday I say hello little girl
When you're passing on your way I say hello little girl
If I see you passing by I cry hello little girl
When I try to catch your eye I cry hello little girl
 

I send the flowers but you don't care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you're thinking of
I hope it's me, love, love, love
 

So I hope there'll come a day when you say
You're my little girl
 

When I see you everyday I say hello little girl
When you're passing on your way I say hello little girl
If I see you passing by I cry / hello little girl
When I try to catch your eye I cry hello little girl

It's not the first time it's happened to me
It's been a long lonely time
And it's so funny, so funny to see
That I'm about to lose my, my, my mind
 

So I hope there'll come a day when you say
You're my little girl, You're my little girl, You're my little girl
 

It's not the first time it's happened to me
It's been a long lonely time
And it's so funny, so funny to see
That I'm about to lose my, my, my mind

So I hope there'll come a day when you say
You're my little girl, You're my little girl, You're my little girl


In Spite Of All The Danger

Written by Paul and George, it was the first Beatle's song recorded along with Buddy Holy's That'll Be The Day at a small recording studio in Kensington, 1958. The group was named The Quarry Men and John Lowe, one of them, kept a copy of the acetate and in 1981, attempted to see it in at auction. After some legal problems was ironed out, Paul McCartney bought the acetate.
 
 

In spite of all the danger, In spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you, Anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me
 

In spite of all the heartache that you may cause me
I'll do anything for you anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me
 

I'll look after you like I've never done before
I'll keep all the others from knocking at your door
 

In spite of all the danger in spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you, anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me
 

I'll look after you like I've never done before
I'll keep all the others from knocking at your door
 

In spite of all the heartache that you may cause me
'll do anything for you anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me


You Know What To Do

This song could have been the second George's composition recorded by The Beatles and it was unknown untill 1993. It was recorded on 3 June 1964, the same day that Ringo was submitted to a surgery.
 

 

When I see you I just don't know what to say
I'd like to be with you every hour of the day
So if want me just like I need you
You know what to do
 

I watched you walking by and you looked all alone
I hope that you won't mind if i walk you back home
And if want me just like I need you
You know what to do
 

Just call on me when you're lonely
I'll keep my love for you only
I'll call on you if I'm lonely too
 

Understand I'll stay with you everyday
Make you love me more in every way

So if want me just like I need you
You know what to do


If You've Got Troubles

It was composed specially for Ringo to record for the Help! album. The Beatles recorded it on 18 February 1965 in just one take but the number was not deemed satisfactory.
 

If you've got troubles
Then you've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
 

You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you had over me
Just 'cause you're troubled
Then don't bring your troubles to me
 

I don't think it's funny
When you ask for money and things
Specially when you're standing there
Wearing diamonds and rings
 
 

You think I'm soft in the head
But try someone softer instead, pretty thing
It's not so funny when you know what money can bring
 

You'd better leave me alone
I don't need a thing for you
You'd better take yourself home
Go and count a ring or two
 
 

If you've got troubles
Then you've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
 
 

You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you had over me
Just 'cause you're trouble
Then don't bring your troubles to me

Just 'cause you're trouble
Then don't bring your troubles to me


Two Wars

It's an original Sgt. Pepper number which we wish is worthy of being amongst these Beatles's gems.
 
 

He can't understand what's going on there
A poor little kid who watches the war
And not even time will heal the wounds
Or wipe off the scars deep in his soul
There should be some reason
For all the pain of the world that he sees outside
 

A long way from there, across the ocean
Little boys live a different war
Hunger kills more than a thousand guns
And silence still talks through those sad looks
That comes from the windows
Angel's tears dropping down all in vain, oh Lord
 
 

There's more than you can do
Than to turn your back on them and pray, oh no !
Would be the same if it was your son instead of them
Nowhere to go / We're lost in a jungle
 

Love can do more than a thousand words
By making the sound of children's joy
Come out of those windows
Angel's tears dropping down all in vain, no more
 

There's more than you can do
Than to turn your back on them and pray, oh oh !
Would you do the same if it was your son instead of them, oh oh !
Love is all we need if we're bound to change their lives someday
Some place to go / Out of this jungle
