Love of the Loved

"Love of the Loved" is a song written mainly by Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon–McCartney. It is one of his earliest compositions and featured in the Beatles live act in their early days. The group recorded the song at their 1962 audition for Decca Records, but never issued it on any of their official releases. Instead, Cilla Black recorded it for her debut single, which was produced by George Martin. It was not a big hit for her, reaching #35 on the UK Singles Chart.

The Beatles audition version was left off Anthology 1, even though the other Lennon–McCartney originals from the same session, "Hello Little Girl" and "Like Dreamers Do", were included.

Recordings of "Love of the Loved" as the Beatles may have performed it were released as singles by US band The Poppees (1975) and Dutch band RollerCoaster (1980). Other cover versions are available on the 1989 album by Bas Muys entitled Secret Songs: Lennon & McCartney^[1]^[2] and on the 1998 release It's Four You by the Australian tribute band The Beatnix.^[3]^[4] It has also been covered by Seattle-based Beatles cover band Apple Jam on their album Off The Beatle Track and on The Weeklings 2016 release "Studio 2", which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios along with 3 other unreleased Lennon/McCartney/Harrison compositions.

The original Decca audition version, along with 10 other tracks from the 1962 Decca session, is now available on the CD I Saw Her Standing There.^[5]
