The Beatles - Baby It’s You
Vinyl 7” EP, 45 RPM, Mono, U.S., 1995
Apple Records
The fab four on BBC radio. Four songs on this EP, each track features all four Beatles’s lead vocals. The key track here is their version of the Bacharach & David classic with a great Lennon vocal. Overall this EP covers the Beatles love for the American girl group sounds. Besides the title cut they also cover “Devil In Her Heart” (George sings it), and Ringo’s “Boys.” Paul being the spoil sport does his “I’ll Follow The Sun.”
The EP is a nice snapshot of a time, and one wonders if they knew, at the time of these recordings, that they could never go back there again. When I hear early Beatles material, I think of it as a time capsule, and it doesn’t place me in that time frame or point in history, but I feel that they were living for the moment, and they truly didn’t know what will happen around the corner.
