That is correct.

Yes, Luis is absolutely right. Consuelo is a female name in Spanish. Consuela is just nonsense rubbish. (I’m Spanish).

I think that Yesterday is the “western version” of Besame Mucho: the melodic line is the same.

It is Consuelo and it is a female name. Consuela does not exist in Spanish (I’m a native speaker).

The composer’s first name is Consuela not Consuelo.

Consuela Velazquez was HER name.

The Decca & Star Club versions are similar. The Star Club version has more balls to it. God, I wish that Star Club stuff was in better sound quality, there’s some really killer stuff on there…

Well I don’t know the Star-Club recording but I’ve heard the Decca recording and I think the Decca version is much better because it features harmony vocals by Lennon and Harrison and that make it sound much fuller.

Actually, according to a discography I read once (can’t remember the title at the moment), the group recorded Besame Mucho a few times during their career, but never felt it was good enough for release.

I wish they’d chosen a different recording to use on Anthology; I’ve heard the version from the Star Club and this one has none of the energy that made that one good.
