It is on a third of everything they recorded, 70 of the 217 recordings, the length of their recording life, from 1962 to 1970. It starts with 'P.S. I Love You' and ends with 'Let It Be', with the A Hard Day's Night album leaning on it hardest, seven of its thirteen tracks. The singing splits John on 28, Paul on 18, George on 12 and Ringo on 1.
