I’ll Follow The Sun/I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party was released as a single in Norway. It didn’t sell so well, so the single itself with cover is very rare. I have seen two singles for sale on Discogs, but both of them are without cover.

This song has an interesting, non-standard chord progression, and the third and fourth notes of the melody – Eb & A over an F7 chord – are quite unusual and give it a kind of haunting, wistful feeling. I’ve always loved that aspect of it. It’s impressive that McCartney wrote it while so young. What an intuitive genius.

Paul is not double-tracked, John sings with him in unison on the parts the album sleeve had mistaken as a McCartney double-vocal. You can obviously hear the nasal Lennon resonance…

I remember hearing this one as a little kid and thinking it was a cowboy song: “One day you’ll look and see a gun.”

It sounds to me the lyrics may be “Don’t leave me alone I’ll be ‘ere, (til) I’ve heard an apology my sweet”

I love that song! Paul’s voice is lovely here, the lyrics could mean a lot and honestly- that’s my personal gem on ” Beatles for Sale” ( I love the whole album though;-))

According to Emerick (as I recall from his book), George was allowed to replace John on lead for this song after grumbling that he was, after all, the lead guitarist. Emerick also relates how George, after laying down a painfully obvious lead, wanted to have another go at it but was rebuffed by an impatient George Martin. Tells you something about George’s place in the pecking order at Beatles recording sessions, circa 1964…

Lovely song, obviously more of a Paul McCartney number. It was an early number he and John worked on. Fits nicely in to “Beatles For Sale”.

it is one of my 3 tied for first fav Beatles songs. George Martin went on camera and said he loved it to, only bad thing was it wasn’t very long. if you are really interested, my other co-fav Beatles songs are Oh Darling and I Will.

Hello everyone. I’m the one who thinks he hears some kind of organ or piano Rhodes kind in this song? I have not read anything about it. Can anyone say if you think so?

I alway used to think it was George! People would say “No, this is Paul” but i’d just think “I grew up thinking these men were gods.. surely, i know their voices..?” Eventually i gave up my thoughts, but i still think Paul sounds alot like George in this one.

One day you’ll look to see ive gone Clearly sounds like George singing that and the other verses before Paul comes in with For tomorrow may rain,,,,,,,,,,,Anyone else here agree with me. Correct me if i am wrong.

I cant believe the scarce amount of comments on this simplistic yet beautiful early ballad by Paul. I prefere it to yesterday and I believe that it’s certainly better than most tracks on BFS.

The Liner notes on this song are correct. This is Paul’s song who is double tracked. John just provides a lower harmony in the bridge, that’s it.

A good early attempt from Paul. Sounds very pre-Beatles – Much like “Do you want to know a secret?”. This one could have been given to the likes of Chad and Jeremy as was John’s “From a window”. Sweet and simple, but not memorable.
