A few changes
editI have made a few small changes based on information in Mark Lewisohn's authoritative (and massive) Beatles biography "All These Years".
- The June 6, 1962 session was in studio 2, not 3.
- It was not an audition as the Beatles were already signed to an EMI contract - this has been part of the legend for many years but Lewisohn cites definitive documentation establishing it as false.
- Added drummer information to the individual recording sessions.
There is another issue I am not sure how to resolve. Lewisohn in "All These Years" contradicts the current statement that "Tip of My Tongue" and "Ask Me Why" were both under consideration to be recorded at the Nov. 26 session, as "Ask Me Why" was already decided as the B-side for "Please Please Me" ("All These Years" volume 1 ext. ed., p 1462), and therefore "Tip of My Tongue" was only played during rehearsal at Martin's request to check on the song's development (ibid p. 1478).
The difficulty I am having is in not knowing which specific facts the current citation for this section of the article supports (or contradicts) as I do not have access to the work referenced (Ian MacDonald, "Revolution in the Head" 2nd ed.). Rather than rewrite it entirely without using the MacDonald reference, perhaps another editor can help resolve this conflict? --Threephi (talk) 00:00, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
