I’ll Follow the Sun by The Beatles – ***

First released: 1964

Apparently this was some song in McCartney’s bag of tricks that he pulled out when The Beatles were short on material due to constant touring and TV and movie appearances. It’s not a bad tune, but having this knowledge proves that it is not as accomplished as the stuff they were currently writing. It was originally on "Beatles For Sale". The Beatles attempted it as early as 1960 when they did some home recordings. A 1964 radio version appears on the b-side of the 1994 single of "Baby It's You" and not on "Live at the BBC".
