The following information was collected for personal use from the multitude of various magazines and interviews issued around the time of the Anthology. At the time, much of the material was quickly collected without any reference to its source, however most of the information sources used have since been identified. No attempt is being made to claim authorship nor infringe any copyrights and the material is reproduced here for private use by Beatles fans.
If I've unintentionally neglected to credit anybody for either information or images then I offer my sincere apologies; please contact me and I will rectify the omission or if preferred remove the material.
Many thanks to Paul and Steve for offering to host the material at http://whizzo.ca/beatles/rs/gobnotch.html and http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/ respectively.
The material follows roughly the same format as Lewisohn's Complete Beatles Recording Sessions book, and does not cover any of the Anthology related promo CDs, none of which seemed to include any exclusive musical material not also released on the comercially available Anthology releases.
Amendments, suggestions and new material would be warmly welcomed.
Single release: 'Baby It's You';'I'll Follow The
Sun'; 'Devil In Her Heart';'Boys'. Parlophone/Apple
(vinyl)/(cassette)/(CD).The coupling of Solider Of Love / I’ll Be On My Way was EMI’s initial choice for the 27th official Beatles single, to be taken from the Live At The BBC album, but the idea was dropped in favour of Capitol records suggestion; Baby It’s You.
Athough retailing at a standard single price, Baby It’s You was marketed as a four track EP (including three additional BBC recordings) with packaging to match the EP designs of the 1960s.
The cover photo showed the Beatles walking away from the Paris Theatre Studio, as seen on the back of the BBC album, and there were also new sleeve notes from BBC producer Kevin Howlett.
Each Beatle was represented by a lead vocal performance and the three extra titles, I'll Follow The Sun, Devil In Her Heart, and Boys, were all previously unissued BBC recordings.
The delay between the single and the corresponding Live At The BBC album release was put down to choosing suitable recordings for the bonus tracks, compounded by the search for relevant footage for use in the accompanying promotional video, which was compiled by Apple Productions, the company currently working on the Beatles' Anthology documentaries.
The single entered the British charts at Number 7 on 1st April.
