beatles at the reeperbahn 2

lennon lets rip into a crashing sweet sixteen.

john - "sweet little sixteen". sounds like "la rube"? or maybe "for ruby"?

to begin with, the beatles were always a great cover band. even if they didnt write their own stuff they would probably still have been the biggest band in liverpool. perhaps, thirsty for stardom, they would have released "how do you do it" as their first single. maybe taking whatever songs came their way. because they were better singers than most of the other bands (billy j, pacemakers, freddie etc) they would have got the better songs. they kept on playing shows in hamburg becoming huge in germany and europe due to their rock n roll style. anyway...

straight into the carl perkins number "lend me your comb". you can hear the 3 part harmony here. they would go on to record this one later in 64 but it failed to get on an album.

after that

paul - "afa sound? (german?) " "thank you very much indeed, thank you. Your Feets Too Big"
