“You’ll Be Mine,” being one of the first Beatles recordings, is a Lennon-McCartney parody inspired by The Ink Spots. Like “Hallelujah, I Love Her So” and “Cayenne,” this recording was made at 20 Forthlin Road—the home of Paul McCartney at the time. They used a Grundig tape recorder which belonged to Paul’s neighbor.

While John provides a falsetto backing to McCartney’s deep baritone lead, George Harrison can be heard strumming a guitar in the background. Stuart Sutcliffe, an early member, can also be heard playing bass in the background—a rare appearance by one of several fifth Beatles whose tragic story often goes untold.
