McCartney Times

A “lost” Beatles record has been played on Radio 4 for the first time this weekend – after being missing for more than 50 years.The demo recording of It’s For You, written for Cilla Black by John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney, was discovered by Black’s nephew Simon White. It had been given to his father by Black – his sister – when he was 18.But while Mr White’s father assumed it was just a copy of his sister’s recording of the song, which shot to number seven in the charts, it was in fact the original demo sung by McCartney and delivered to Black at the London Palladium in 1964.Black, who died just over a year ago at her home in Spain, wrote about the record in her autobiography, What’s It All About?, and it’s now set to be sold at aucition.
