Aufnahme:

Januar 1964, Marconi Studio, Paris / 1. – 3. Juni 1964, Abbey Road Studios, London

Erscheinungsdatum:

10.07.1964

Produzent:

George Martin

 

Die erste LP, auf der nur Songs von John Lennon und Paul McCartney enthalten sind. Der amerikanische Komponist und Dirigent Leonard Bernstein meinte nach Veröffentlichung der LP: „Diese Burschen sind die besten Komponisten seit Schubert.“ Die ersten sieben Songs sangen die Beatles auch in ihrem Film A Hard Day’s Night. Die amerikanische Ausgabe der LP unterscheidet sich wesentlich von der englischen Kopplung. Hier ist die englische LP im Mittelpunkt. Das ist auch diejenige, die Heute als CD erhältlich ist.

 

 

George Martin: Zunächst knieten sich die Beatles nicht voll in die Plattenproduktion, erst als sie aufhörten auf Tournee zu gehen. Vorher fehlte ihnen die Zeit dafür. Sie stürmten ins Studio, bespielten ihre Tonbandspur und überließen uns die ganze Arbeit.

Die ersten Aufnahmen machten wir in Mono, obwohl wir auch Stereobandgeräte zur Verfügung hatten. Damit das Abmischen einfacher war, hielt ich Singstimmen und Begleitung auseinander und verwendete ein Stereobandgerät als Doppelspur – allerdings nicht in der Absicht, Stereo abzumischen, sondern um mir mehr Freiraum für einen Mono-Remix zu verschaffen. Die Aufnahmen der ersten Jahre wurden alle auf nur zwei Spuren und Live gemacht, wie bei Rundfunksendungen. Vierspurbandgeräte brachten dann den großen Vorteil, im nachhinein Zweitstimmen oder Gitarrensolos überspielen und abmischen zu können. Als wir A Hard Day’s Night machten, konnten wir erst die Grundspur abmischen und überspielten die Stimmen später. Ich mischte immer alle Rhythmusinstrumente auf eine oder zwei Tonspuren (meistens eine), so dass sich Bass und Gitarre überlappten. Viel später erst gingen wir dazu über, auch den Bass im nachhinein abzumischen, was Paul McCartney die Gelegenheit gab, seine Stimme mehr einzusetzen.

 

George Harrison: Ringo machte oft grammatikalische Fehler und wir mussten alle lachen.

 

Ringo: Es scheint jetzt besser geworden zu sein. Immer wenn ich gerade etwas sage, schoss mir etwas anderes in den Kopf und ich verhasple mich. Einmal hatten wir den ganzen Tag bis in die Nacht hinein gearbeitet. Ich kam nach draußen, dachte es wäre noch hell und sagte: „It’s Been A Hard Day ...“, als ich plötzlich merkte, dass es schon dunkel war: „...s’ Night!“ John Lennon hat sich am meisten über meine Versprecher amüsiert. Viele hat er aufgeschrieben.

A Hard Day's Night

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

 

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone

You know I feel ok

 

When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight

 

Owww!

 

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone

You know I feel ok

 

You know I feel alright

You know I feel alright

 

I Should Have Known Better

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

I should have known better with a girl like you

That I would love everything that you do

And I do, hey hey hey, and I do

Whoa, whoa, Inever realized what I kiss could be

this could only happen to me

Can't you see, can't you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh

You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh

And when I ask you to be mine

You're gonna say you love me too

So, oh I never realized what I kiss could be

this could only happen to me

Can't you see, can't you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh

You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh

And when I ask you to be mine

You're gonna say you love me too

Whoa whoa I never realized what I kiss could be

this could only happen to me

Can't you see, can't you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh

You're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh

And when I ask you to be mine

You're gonna say you love me too

You love me too you love me too

 

If I Fell

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

If I fell in love with you

could you promise to be true

And help me understand

'Cause I've been in love before

And I've found that love is more

That just holding hands

If I gave my love to you

I must be sure from the very start

that you would love me more than her

If I trust in you, oh please

don't run and hide, if I love you too, oh please

don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad

If our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I

would love to love you

And that see will crywhen she learns we are two

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad

If our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I

would love to love you

And that see will cry

when she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you

 

I'm Happy Just To Dance With You

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand

If it's funny try and understand

There is really nothing else I'd rather do

''Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight

I just wanna dance with you all night

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

''Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you

Is everything I need

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place

Let's pretend we just can't see his face

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

''Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you

Is everything I need

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place

Let's pretend we just can't see his face

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

 

And I Love Her

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

I give her all my love

That's all I do

And if you saw my love

You'd love her to

I love her

 

She gives my everything

And tenderly

The kiss my lover brings

She brings to me

And I love her

 

A love like ours

Could never die

As long as I have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine

Dark is the sky

I know this love of mine

will never die

And I love her

 

 

Bright are the stars that shine

Dark is the sky

I know this love of mine

will never die

And I love her, ooh

Und ich liebe sie

 

 

 

Ich gebe ihr all meine Liebe

Das ist alles was ich tu

Und wenn du sie sehen würdest

Würdest du sie auch lieben

Ich liebe sie

 

Sie gibt mir alles

Und ist zärtlich

Den Kuss den meine Liebe bringt

Den bringt sie mir

Und ich liebe sie

 

Eine Liebe wie unsere ist

Sollte niemals sterben

So lange ich dich bei mir habe

So hell die Sterne leuchten

So dunkel ist der Himmel

Ich weiß dass eine Liebe wie meine

Niemals sterben wird

Und ich liebe sie

 

 

So hell die Sterne leuchten

So dunkel ist der Himmel

Ich weiß dass eine Liebe wie meine

Niemals sterben wird

Und ich liebe sie, ooh

Tell Me Why

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

Well I gave you everything I had

But you left me sitting on my own

Did you have to treat me oh so bad

All I do is hang my head and moan

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

If there's something I have said or done

Tell me what and I'll apologize

If you don't I really can't go on

Holding back these tears in my eyes

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

Well I beg you on my bended knees

If you'll only listen to my please

Is there anything I can do

'cause I really can't stand it

I'm so in love with you

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

Tell me why you cried

And why you lied to me

 

Can't Buy Me Love

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

Can't buy me love, love

Can't buy me love

 

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend

If it makes you feel all right

I'll get you anything my friend

If it makes you feel all right

'Cause I don't care too much for money

For money can't buy me love

 

I'll give you all I've got to give

If you say you love me too

I may not have a lot to give

but what I've got I'll give to you

For I don't care too much for money

For money can't buy me love

 

Can't buy me love

Everybody tells me so

Can't buy me love

No, no ,no, no

 

Say you don't need no diamond ring

And I'll be satisfied

Tell me that you want those kind of things

that money just can't buy

For I don't care too much for money

For money can't buy me love

Kann mir keine Liebe kaufen

 

 

 

Kann mir keine liebe kaufen

Kann mir keine liebe kaufen

 

Ich werde dir einen Diamantenring kaufen mein Freund

Er wird dich gut fühlen lassen

Ich werde dir alles geben mein Freund

Wenn du dich dadurch gut fühlst

Ich mache mir keine Gedanken um Geld

Für Geld kann ich mir keine Liebe kaufen

 

Ich werde dir alles geben, was ich zu geben habe

Wenn du mir sagst, dass du mich auch liebst

Vielleicht habe ich nicht viel zu geben

Was ich habe, werde ich dir geben

Ich mache mir keine Gedanken um Geld

Für Geld kann ich mir keine Liebe kaufen

 

Kann mir keine Liebe kaufen

Jeder sagt es mir so

Kann mir keine Liebe kaufen

Die man mit Geld nicht kaufen kann

Ich mache mir keine Gedanken um Geld

Für Geld kann ich mir keine Liebe kaufen

Any Time At All

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all ,

all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.

If you need somebody to love, just look into my eyes,

I'll be there to make you feel right.

If you're feeling sorry and sad, I'd really sympathize.

Don't you be sad, just call me tonight.

Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all ,

all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.

If the sun has faded away, I'll try to make it shine,

there's nothing I won't do

If you need a shoulder to cry on I hope it will be mine.

Call me tonight, and I'll come to you.
Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all , all

you've gotta do is call and I'll be there

Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there

 

I'll Cry Instead

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

I've got every reason on earth to be mad

'Cause I just lost the only girl I had

If I could get my way

I'd get myself locked up today

but I can't, so I'll cry instead

I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger that my feet

I can't talk to people that I meet

If I could see you now

I'd try to make you sad somehow

But I can't, so I'll cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away

But I'll come back again someday

And when you do you'd better hide all the girls

I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world

Yes, I'm gonna break them in two

And show you what your lovin' man can do

Until then I'll cry instead

 

Things We Said Today

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

You say you will love me

If I have to go

You'll be thinking of me

somehow I will know

Someday when I'm lonely

wishing you weren't so far away

Then I will remember

Things we said today

You said you'll be mine, girl

'til the end of time

These days such a kind girl

seems so hard to find

Someday when we're dreaming

deep in love, not a lot to say

Then we will remember

Things we said today

Me I'm just the lucky kind

Love to hear you say that is love

And though we may be blind

Love is here to stay and that's enough

To make you mine, girl

believe only one

loves me all the time, girl

we'll go on and on

Some day when we're dreaming

deep in love not a lot to say

Then we will remember

Things we said today

Me I'm just the lucky kind

Love to hear you say that is love

And though we may be blind

Love is here to stay and that's enough

To make you mine, girl

believe only one

loves me all the time, girl

we'll go on and on

Some day when we're dreaming

deep in love not a lot to say

Then we will remember

Things we said today

 

When I Get Home

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

Whoa, ah, woah, ah

I got a whole lot of things to tell her

when I get home

Come on, I'm on my way

'cause I'm a gonna see my baby today

I've got a whole lot of things I've gotta say to her

Whoa, ah, woah, ah

I got a whole lot of things to tell her

when I get home

Come on, if you please

I've got no time for trivialities

I've got a girl who's waiting home for me tonight

Whoa, ah, woah, ahI got a whole lot of things to tell her

when I get home

When I'm getting home tonight

I'm gonna hold her tight

I'm gonna love her till the cows come home

I be I'll love her more

till I walk out that door again

Come on, let me through

I got so many things I gotta do

I got no business being here with you this way

Whoa, ah, woah, ah

I got a whole lot of things to tell her

when I get home

Yeah, I've got a whole lot of things to tell her

when I get home

 

You Can't Do That

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

I got something to say that might cause you pain

If I catch you talking to that boy again

I'm gonna let you downand leave you flat

Because I told you before

oh, you can't do that

Well it's the second time I've caught you talking to him

Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin

I think I'll let you down

and leave you flat

Because I told you beforeoh, you can't do that

Everybody's green'cause I'm the one who won your love

But if they'd seen

you talking that way

they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you want to stay mine

I can't help this feeling I'll go out of my mind

You know I'll let you down

and leave you flatBecause I told you before

oh, you can't do that, wah

Everybody's green'cause I'm the one who won your love

But if they'd seen

you talking that way

they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you want to stay mine

I can't help this feeling I'll go out of my mind

You know I'll let you down

and leave you flat

Because I told you before

oh, you can't do that

 

I'll Be Back

 

(Lennon / McCartney)

 

You know, if you break my heart I'll go

But I'll be back again'cause I told you once before goodbye

But I came back again

I love you so, ohI'm the one who wants you

Yes I'm the one who wants you

oh, ho, oh, ho, oh

You could find better things to do

Than to break my heart again

This time I will try to show that I'm

Not trying to pretend

I thought that you would realize

That if I run away from you

that you would want me to

But I got a big surprise

Oh, ho, oh, ho, oh

You, if you break my heart I'll go

But I'll be back again
