Titles:	Hallelujah, I Love Her So You'll Be Mine Cayenne
Recorded:	Liverpool, 1960
Location:	The Beatles Anthology 1 - tracks 6 /  8

John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison recorded themselves on a borrowed tape recorder in 1959. The tape sat undisturbed in a Liverpool attic until the grandson of the owner discovered it in 1995. Along with 15 other songs.

Some experts believe this rehearsal session may have been at the Indra Club in Hamburg.

The four guitar line-up - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Stuart Sutcliffe - suggests that the session dates from the spring or early summer of 1960, when the Beatles were having trouble finding a drummer. Certainly, the tape provides the only known recording made during bass player Sutcliffe's tenure in the group.

Hallelujah, I Love Her Sowas first recorded by Ray Charles in 1956 but the clear influence here is Eddie Cohran's cover version. This had a minor hit on the British singles charts in February 1960, helped there by Paul who brought the record and sings lead on this recording.

This recording was released in both the US and the UK on November 21, 1995 on "The Beatles Anthology Volume 1." A longer version of this track has been bootlegged and can be found on "Wildcat" (CD).

A live recording of this song from the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany was made on December 31, 1962 while The Beatles were performing their stage act. German waiter Horst Fascher sang lead vocals for this performance while The Beatles supplied backup. This recording, however, was not released until April 8, 1977 in Germany, May 25, 1977 in the UK and June 13, 1977 in the US on the album "The Beatles Live! At The Star Club In Hamburg, Germany; 1962."

During rehearsals for the aborted "Get Back" film/album project, John led The Beatles through a performance of this song on January 22, 1969. This recording has been bootlegged.

You'll Be Mine Is a fun number, performed in a manner reminiscent of the Ink Spots, the popular American singing combo. Paul sings the lead vocal and delivers a rousing finale, and John adds memorably outlandish spoken middle section that embraced the Beatle's collective love for the absurd and, with the phrase "National health eyeball", his own fondness for the word-play.

Cayenne is an instrumental composed by Paul McCartney. A good number of the earliest titles written by either Lennon or McCartney, or both, were instrumentals, written in the late 1950s when tunes without a lyric were prevalent.

A shorter edit of this recording was released in both the US and the UK on November 21, 1995 on "The Beatles Anthology Volume 1."
