Between March 1962 and June 1965, the Beatles played songs on 52 shows broadcast nationwide by the BBC's Light Programme. British pop fans who tuned to Saturday Club, Easy Beat, Top Gear or Pop Go The Beatles were treated to exclusive radio performances of both the familiar hits and the more unusual material from the group's eclectic pre-fame repertoire. Taken from the album 'Live At The BBC', 'Baby It's You' is augmented on this EP by three radio recordings that are released here for the first time.
Side 1
1) BABY IT'S YOU*
(David-Bacharach-Williams)
John Lennon vocal
Pop Go The Beatles

Rec: 1 June 1963
BBC Paris Theatre, London
Producer: Terry Henebery
Great admirers of the American girl-groups of the early sixties, they covered this American Top Ten hit for the Shirelles on their first album 'Please Please Me'. This BBC interpretation has a cute ending rather than the familiar fade-out on the record.
2) I'LL FOLLOW THE SUN
(Lennon-McCartney)
Paul McCartney vocal
Top GearRec: 17 November 1964

Released on 'Beatles For Sale', 'I'll Follow The Sun' was featured, along with three other songs from the album, during their second appearance with Brian Matthew on his late night show Top Gear.

Producer Terry Henebery
The marathon BBC session of 16 July 1963 - eighteen songs for three programmes - gave an opportunity to try out this song by girl-group The Donays and two days later the EMI version was taped for the second album 'With The Beatles'.
4) BOYS
(Dixon-Farrell)
Ringo Starr vocal

The Shirelles' original was on the flip-side of their biggest British hit 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow'. The Beatles' first album includes 'Boys' and this BBC take was selected from the seven occasions they recorded it for the radio.
