songs
Twelve recordings have it, from 1963 to 1970, most of their years in the studio. 'I Saw Her Standing There' is the earliest, from 1963, and 'Two of Us' the last, from 1970. 'It Won't Be Long' and 'A Hard Day's Night' have it too. The lead vocals go John on four, Paul on four and George on one. Among them, 'Taxman' was made with feedback, one of only three of their recordings made that way.
