All of their songs up to She Loves You were credited as McCartney/Lennon. She Loves You was the first one to use the more familiar Lennon/McCartney Credit. Though if you have The Beatles 1962-1966 or 1 or the singles in the CD Boxset. Songs such as Thank You Girl, Please Please Me & From Me To You have now been reversed to Lennon/McCartney. But if you have the original singles it will still say McCartney/Lennon on it. Likewise the Please Please Me album, including the CD reissue still credits all the self composed tracks on it as McCartney/Lennon.

It's not about what they are worth financially though. Its about what they are worth inside. And for that, anybody who owns a Beatles recording is sitting on a Goldmine!

I think a lot of Macca's 70's stuff is way under-rated cos of the assumed 'lightweight' tag.... I would agree he has produced very little of great worth in the past 20 years, but I think that the majority of his '70's singles with Wings are excellent, and people generally don't realise how good they are due to Beatles comparisons, stuff like Silly Love Songs, Let Em In etc very inventive musically and stuff like Junior's Farm, Helen Wheels practically forgotten when at the time it must have sounded very contempory indeed

They're locking them up today, they're throwing away the key...I wonder who it be tomorrow, you or me?

Yes I like some of his early 70's stuff jet,silly love songs,band on the run etc

Still also think live and let die was one of the best Bond themes as well

Heard on the radio that it's 50 years ago today
