The Beatles “Love Of The Loved”, “Some Other Guy”
“Love of the Loved” is a song written mainly by Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon/McCartney. It is one of his earliest compositions and featured in the Beatles live act in their early days. The group recorded the song at their 1962 audition for Decca Records, but never issued it on any of their official releases. Instead, Cilla Black recorded it for her debut single, which was produced by George Martin. It was not a big hit for her, reaching #35 on the UK Singles Chart.
Oddly, the Beatles audition version was left off Anthology 1, even though the other Lennon/McCartney originals from the same session, “Hello Little Girl” and “Like Dreamers Do”, were included.
“Some Other Guy” is a rock ‘n roll song, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richard Barrett. It was first released by Barrett as a single in 1962.
It was recorded by The Beatles during a live BBC radio session and included on the album, Live at the BBC. The song is especially popular in Beatles lore, being featured in the only known existing film with synchronized sound showing the Beatles performing live at the famous Cavern Club. The crude, grainy footage features John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing the song’s melody in unison on Wednesday August 22, 1962. It is also the first film of Ringo Starr as the Beatles drummer; Pete Best was discharged from the band the week prior.
