Staff picks: the Beatles’ best lesser-known songs
Thursday, Dec. 24, 2015, was a beautiful day for tech-savvy Beatles-lovers around the world: at last, the band's utterly amazing song catalogue was added to several music streaming services, including Spotify. While Beatles hits such as “All You Need is Love” and “Let It Be” are unquestionably familiar to practically everyone, some of their lesser-known songs are just as innovative, groundbreaking and catchy as the rest of their discography. If you’re looking to become more well-rounded in your familiarity with the Beatles’ music, check out these tracks.
5. “Anna (Go to Him)”
Album: "Please Please Me"
Though the song was originally written and performed by Arthur Alexander, the Beatles’ cover is often lauded as even better than the original. The Fab Four recorded the song for their debut album in 1963. While the Beatles were still incredibly young at the time of recording, the song beautifully showcases George Harrison’s mastery of the guitar, as well as John Lennon’s ability to produce an emotional, heartbreaking vocal performance.
