Beatle songs they wrote (?) but never had a hit with.

Technically the Beatles covered the Stones version....., since Keef and Mick released their version first.

The Beatles liked The Rolling Stones, and after hanging out with them L&M wrote "I Wanna Be Your Man" for them.

J&R wrote some tunes that did well for others too;

I have Jagger's solo demo of Out of Time and its by far the superior version IMO

Beatle songs they wrote (?) but never had a hit with.

What, like songs that were on the albums but not released on their own, or songs that weren't on albums either?

 

[Jam The Man]

SOME of the Beatles albums had sales figures that registered in the singles charts. This in the days when the single was king

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

No,more like why give (?) Marmalade Ob La Di. That song was there's why with others did they off-load it ?

This is a brilliant thread. What amazing muscians this country has produced!

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Siouxie and the Banshees covered Dear Prudence, and I think that got into the charts.

 

[1959]

Siouxie and the Banshees covered Dear Prudence, and I think that got into the charts.

The did Helter Skelter too. And Bob Dylan's This Wheel's On Fire.

Marmalade was one with Ob La Di and i think there were a few more (?) yet how would that have come about ? Did they not want them ?

Marmalade had a no 1 hit with this song and it was a hit for The Beatles in many countries, but it wasn't released as a single in the UK.

Those Were The Days - Mary 'opkin

No, The Beatles didn't write that one. It was an old Russian folk song. Paul McCartney wrote another of her singles: "Goodbye", which got to no 2 in the UK charts.

Why give it away ? Unless The beatles did not rate it ?

I'm sorry?

Well Ob La Di, was an album track wasn't it. I know Macca wrote other people songs (and often used a pseudonym on the credits) to see whether it was still actually his song writing or just the Beatles name that made his songs hits.

 

[Danny-Boy]

When a new Beatles LP came out, there were often one or two cover versions trying to make the singles charts - Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers had a hit with 'Got to get you into My Life', and somebody had a hit with Michelle, and I think someone did 'You've got to Hide your Love Away' too.
They wrote 'World without Love' for Peter and Gordon, too - probabaly 'cos Paul was knocking off Peter's sister.........

Overlanders with "Michelle".

Another little known fact, they never released "Rock and Roll Music" as a single I think, though it often features now as one of their early hits.
