First Time Around

You didn't think The Beatles just knocked out all these number-one hits on the first try, did you? Of course not, they had to work at it, writing and re-writing and refining and fine-tuning until they found the magic formula they were looking for.

Here are a few of the rough draft scraps that never made it to the second round of editing.
