When John and Paul McCartney met for the first time
6th July 1957, John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the first time at The Woolton Church Parish Fete where The Quarry Men were appearing. As The Quarry Men were setting up for their evening performance, McCartney eager to impress Lennon picked up a guitar and played ?Twenty Flight Rock? (Eddie Cochran) and ?Be-Bop-A-Lula? (Gene Vincent). Lennon was impressed, and even more so when McCartney showed Lennon and Eric Griffiths how to tune their guitars, something they'd been paying someone else to do for them. Vote for your fave Beatles album. http//www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/favorite_beatles_album

Paperback Writer
23rd June 1966, The Beatles had their tenth consecutive UK No.1 single with 'Paperback Writer' / 'Rain'. The track is marked by the boosted bass guitar sound throughout, partly in response to John Lennon demanding to know why the bass on a certain Wilson Pickett record far exceeded the bass on any Beatles records. It was also cut louder than any other Beatles record, due to a new piece of equipment used in the mastering process. More here http//www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/paperback_writer
