he Beatles also recorded a number of other songs during the session; interestingly, five of the six songs were never attempted by the group for EMI. The songs played were:
That's All Right (Mama)
There's A Place
Carol
Soldier Of Love
Lend Me Your Comb
Clarabella
Only one song, There's A Place, was a Lennon-McCartney original. What's more, none of the cover versions were recorded again for the radio by The Beatles, making this one of the most interesting of the group's 53 BBC sessions.
The 2 July session took place just over a fortnight before recording began for With The Beatles, and it's possible that the group were trying out potential material for the second album.
Carol was one of the songs on The Rolling Stones' self-titled debut in April 1964, almost a year after The Beatles' version was broadcast. The Beatles' attempt, however, wasn't released until 1994, when it was included on the Live At The BBC collection.

@#$%& Hell! To compare The Beatles and Stones version of 'Carol' is like comparing the turtle with the hare...I remember why I'll choose Stones back in -64

Who is the better bass player? Paul McCartney or Bill Wyman?

And I want real examples of their playing, not a lot of hot air like, "Bill Wyman looks really cool chewing gum whilst playing, or Paul is a lefty, etc. "
Real evidence, not a lot of horse malarky.

One critic says you can hum along with Paul's bass playing, he is playing melody sometimes. Wyman is mainly playing with Charlie and following Keith.
Paul is a leader and Wyman is a follower in their bands.

Ha Ha You are comparing the man that wrote 'Yesterday' with the one that did 'Monkey Grip'.
Paul is of course.
uniqueness doesn't necessarily equal better. is a guy busking on the street playing guitar with his toes better than jimi hendrix? also, is keith not providing rhythm?Quote

You're right (for once!). That's what gives The Rolling Stones their unique sound & "feel", in that they follow the guitarist. Most bands follow the rhythm section, but not the RS.

I'll go out on a limb here...Paul is a better songwriter than Bill.

Sleepy City,
I think you are spoling this thread with your constant cheer-leading for the Stones. You might as well be shaking pom-poms and shouting "Go Team Go!"
I am looking for a serious discussion of the Beatles vs. Stones question. Not just reflexive support for the Stones.

BULL!!!!
WHAT IS THE LOUDEST SONG THAT THE STONES EVER DONE???
SATISFACTION??? IT'S NOT EVEN LOUD COMPARED TO HELTER SKETLER OR DRIVE MY CAR.
WHO MADE THE STONES WHAT THEY ARE RIGHT NOW???
PAUL MCCARTNEY....NEVER FORGET WHO WROTE "IWANNA BE YORU MAN".......BECAUSE IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR PAUL MCCARTNEY, THE STONES WOULD BE LIKE THE MONKEYS.
WHY THE BEATELS WERE BETTER THAN THE STONES?
BECAUSE ALL OF THEM COULD SING, COULD PLAY, AND COULD WRITE MASTERPIECES.
CAN CHARLIE SING? GIVE ME A BREAK
CAN KEITH SING? GET OUF OF HERE.......EVEN WORSE THAN BOB DYLAN
CAN RON SING??? WHAT?
MICK??? THANK GOD HE CAN MOVE AND JUMP AROUND ......IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT.....HE'D BE AN AVERAGE SINGER.
EVEN RINGO WROTE SOME GREAT TUNES....OCTOPUSSY 'S GARDEN , DON'T PASS ME BY, PHOTOGRAPHS........
CHARLIE??? NOTHING
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT WINGS.
WINGS WERE THE SECOND BIGGEST SELLING ACT INT HE 70'S BEHIND ELTON JOHN.
THEY OUTSOLD THE BEATLES AND THE STONES.......
THEY BROKE THE RECORD OF BEST SELLING SINGLE OF ALL TIME WITH " MULL OF KYNTIRE" WHICH IS STILL RANKED IN THE TOP5 OF ALL TIME SINGLES
THEY BROKE ATTANDANCE RECORD IN SEATLE IN 1976.......A RECORD THAT THE BEATLES SET 10 YEARS EARLIER.
NUMBER 1 LEFT AND RIGHT WORLWIDE SUCCESS!!!!!
ENOUGH SAID ABOUT WINGS.
SOLO MACCA
PAUL MCCARTNEY WAS NAMED THE MOST SUCCESFFUL COMPOSER OF ALL TIME.
SOLD MORE RECORDS THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
HOLDS THE RECORD FOR ATTANDENCE FOR A PAID CONCERT BY A SINGLE ACT.
RIO 1990 IN FRONT OF 184 000. THEY ALL PAID AND IT WASN'T A FESTIVAL.
HOPE OF DELIVRANCE WAS A WORLDWIDE SMASH HIT......THE STONES HAVEN'T HAD A WORLWIDE SMAH HIT SINGLE SINCE MISS YOU.
HOPE OF DELIVERANCE WAS RELEASED IN 1993. SOLD TONS OF COPIES.
HELTER SKELTER WAS THE VERY FIRST HEAVY METAL SONG EVER.........IT IS LOUDER THAN ANY OF THE WHO'S SONG THAT THEYE EVER RECORDED.

What kind of loser comes to a Stones forum and starts this kind of thread?
Beatles music has the feeling of great music of the past, like Frank Sinatra, or Glen Miller. They sing the songs in kindergarden classes, and Japanese use the lyrics to study English. It's great music, but it is of a certain time period, like much great popular music.
What kind of loser criticizes my thread and then adds three postings in a row on it? Apparently you are fascinated by the subject.

Paul is the only bass player I can recognize. I think he is outstanding on bass.
