It turns up on four recordings, from 1964 to 1968. The first is 'A Hard Day's Night' and the last 'Back in the U.S.S.R.', one of them 'The Word', and Paul sings every one of them. Of those, 'Blackbird' is in 2/4, one of only three of their recordings in that time signature. Paul takes the lead on all four. 'A Hard Day's Night' went out as a single, becoming a number one on both sides of the Atlantic, and they came out between 1964 and 1968.
