I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but I love the vocalizations John does about 1:17 into his demo of “If I Fell .” It reminds me a lot of the ones he does after the line, “Living for today” in “Imagine .”
Here’s that demo: feature=player_detailpage

Ringo’s little drum play before the vocals come in on some of the BBC recordings of You Really Got A Hold On Me .

Kudos to meanmistermustard for two excellent youtube finds. I”ve really got to stop listening to all my stuff on disk and surf youtube more often.
John sure sounded hesitant in that early rehearsal. So hesitant I thought it was Paul, ha. I listened to the 1964 Hollywood bowl version, trying to find a ‘live’ performance similar to the rehearsal. The difference, of course was amazing.
I totally agree that he stole that little vocal run (which was kindof out of place in If I Fell ), and I would swear it’s the same melody and a very close if not the same key, note for note, from the one in Imagine .
And to bring this somewhat back on topic, at the 1:15 mark in the 1964 Hollywood Bowl show (If I Fell ), for some reason Paul drops out of the harmony for a line (“would you to love you”). Just another Beatles’ quirk, or maybe write it off to a huge audience screaming at them, but they were right on point the rest of the song.

^ That’s a good point about Paul’s rhyming. It really is something fascinating.
Another example starts at the 0.47 mark in Mean Mister Mustard. He rhymes “been” with the short e or maybe schwa sound, with the long e in “obscene” – in this case he mostly modifies “obscene” to “obsehn”.

But John wrote Mean Mr Mustard .

If we’re including solo stuff the part in Live And Let Die right after Paul says the title for the first time… Especially in one live video, there’s an explosion, it’s amazing! Ill link the vid later if I remember.

Paul’s “Yeah!!” at the end of “Twist And Shout “. Not really for a musical reason, I mostly just love the way that album is bookended with extraneous extramusical stuff…from the “One two three FAW!” to “Yeahh!”, and there we have the debut of the finest rock ‘n roll band (and ROCK) band any of us will ever hear, even the young kids.
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

In No Reply right after “i saw you walk in your door” there is a little guitar bit which is awesome (around the 45 second mark).
How the descending guitar comes in before the choruses in You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away .
