[End] NOTES: 1. “On Monday 1 January 1962 at 11:00am, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Pete Best were auditioned by Decca staff and performed a total of fifteen songs in just under one hour. Epstein and the Beatles decided on a selection of covers the Beatles had performed in various clubs over the years, along with three Lennon–McCartney originals. The songs played at the audition were recorded. The Beatles subsequently came to believe that Epstein had paid Decca to tape the audition. Although it has sometimes been asserted, most notably by John Lennon, that Decca producer Tony Meehan (ex-drummer of the Shadows) produced the Decca audition session, current scholarship considers this unlikely.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles'_Decca_audition 2. “I had this very diverse little record collection from which I was culling material. I remember I had the Coasters' Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart, which was on the b-side of Yakety Yak. I can look back on these records and see what it was I liked. With ‘Besame Mucho’ by the Coasters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFiITwlO5Ck, it's a minor song and it changes to a major, and where it changes to a major is such a big moment musically. That major change attracted me so much. - Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now, Barry Miles” http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/besame-mucho/ 3. These chords and key match as closely as I can ascertain, The Beatles version. It’s three whole steps up from the original version of ‘Besame Mucho’ by Conssuelo Velazquez, with English lyrics by Sunny Skylar.
