Cant Buy Me Love

Can't Buy Me Love

---

Is it just a missprint? I believe Northern Songs Music, Ltd. The Beagles were a Cartoon that used a Jan and Dean motif. Spar Records was affiliated with Hit, and Modern Sound Records, all known for recreating hits by current artists. There were a bunch of house musicians who played on these 45s using names like The Jalopy Five, and The Chellows, among others.

Bobby Russell was one of the more prolific artists to record on these labels with The Beagles as the backup band. There may have been some sort of business deal with this band and Northern Songs Music, Ltd. I liked the version with the background singing better, in fact! Till There Was You is single tracked.

Can’t Buy Me Love

I heard of this years ago and have had this 45 since new back in about What is its history? In the video, John is singing. It does sounds like there are two vocal tracks, but it could just be Paul doing it twice. From Us To You recorded: It sounds generic compared to most of their other early singles. After putting out a string of pop song singles, with CBML and several others from e. This tune captures and blends nicely in the tapestry that was Beatlemaina. Instantly recognizable as a snapshot in a special time — unlike any other sound.

Might anybody out there know any good ones? For the first two albums, Paul had been mostly kept in line by John, who was regarded widely as the leader by both the band and the media, even if not in direct terms. And unlike John, who encouraged his friends to get involved with harmonies on hit singles like I Feel Fine or Help! This song truly planted the first seeds of the Beatles demise.

What a dumb comment. I agree that this comment is preposterous. I thought that was an interesting comment.

I wonder if John maybe suggested this chord progression. A huge hit, written and sung by Paul McCartney. Great lead guitar by George Harrison. On the Anthology 1 version of this song, Paul seems to skip a line at 1: A very exciting piece of rock and roll. Paul as a soul screamer with a classic solo from George. The lyric is timeless. No matter what era of humanity you were born into, the words would be appropriate -except, possibly, the current time period. He mimes the words perfectly as though he sang the song on record. It could have been a Beatle joke, but who would know? I can prove this further: Paul is probably double-tracked anyway, but John is definitely there too.

The mono version had this overdub while the stereo version did not. I have the single cant be me love , with you cant do that , on the b side. I know that is how it was, but the label i have on both sides of the single is, you cant do that. Is this rare or am i one of millions. Please contact me if you can shed any light on this. Personally, I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggest that Can't Buy Me Love is about a prostitute, I draw the line. That's going too far. Can't Buy Me Love is my attempt to write a bluesy mode.

The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well but they won't buy me what I really want. It was a very hooky song. Ella Fitzgerald later did a version of it which I was very honoured by. Maybe I had something to do with the chorus, but I don't know.

I always considered it his song. It was the first film for which I wrote the score, and I had the benefit of having a director who was a musician. We recorded the songs for the film just as we would ordinary recordings, and Dick [Lester] used a lot of songs we'd already recorded. Can't Buy Me Love, for example, which was used twice in the picture. I thought that we really needed a tag for the song's ending, and a tag for the beginning; a kind of intro.

So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending, and said 'Let's just have these lines, and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly'. And they said, 'That's not a bad idea, we'll do it that way'. We took the tapes from that back to England to do some work on them. I once read something that tries to analyse Can't Buy Me Love, talking about the double-track guitar — mine — and saying that it's not very good because you can hear the original one. What happened was that we recorded first in Paris and re-recorded in England. Obviously they'd tried to overdub it, but in those days they only had two tracks, so you can hear the version we put on in London, and in the background you can hear a quieter one.

It had the same level of excitement as previous Beatles singles and was quickly slated to be an A-side, but first there was a technical problem to be overcome, discovered when the tape was brought back and played at our studios. Perhaps because it had been spooled incorrectly, the tape had a ripple in it, resulting in the intermittent loss of treble on Ringo 's hi-hat cymbal. There was tremendous time pressure to get the track mixed and delivered to the pressing plant, and due to touring commitments the Beatles themselves were unavailable, so George and Norman took it upon themselves to make a little adjustment.

When pressed by American journalists in to reveal the song's "true" meaning, McCartney stated that, "I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggests that 'Can't Buy Me Love' is about a prostitute, I draw the line. At this time, EMI's West Germany branch, Odeon , insisted that the Beatles would not sell records in any significant numbers in Germany unless they were actually sung in the German language [10] and the Beatles reluctantly agreed to re-record the vocals to " She Loves You " and " I Want to Hold Your Hand " prior to them being released in Germany.

This was accomplished well within the allotted studio time, allowing the Beatles an opportunity to record the backing track, with a guide vocal, to the recently composed "Can't Buy Me Love". Therefore, "Can't Buy Me Love" became the first single the Beatles released without their characteristic background harmonies.

Obviously they'd tried to overdub it, but in those days they only had two tracks, so you can hear the version we put on in London, and in the background you can hear a quieter one. The release took place on 16 March in the United States and four days later in the United Kingdom.

With the success of the song, the Beatles established four records on the Hot As of November , it had sold 1. For its sequence in the film A Hard Day's Night , director Richard Lester used crane shots to capture the four band members running and leaping in a sports field.

Subsequent album appearances for the song include the compilations A Collection of Beatles Oldies and Hey Jude ; also known as The Beatles Again , the double-disc collection — , the release Reel Music , which features songs from the Beatles' feature films; the compilation 20 Greatest Hits , and 1 , released in November Many artists have covered the song. Ella Fitzgerald recorded it for her album Hello, Dolly. This version was also released as a single, peaking at number 34 hit in the UK.
