5 Beatles Deep Cuts That Deserve Way More Love

The Beatles’ catalog, decorated as it is, includes a few songs that just don’t get a ton of attention. Diehard fans know their entire output inside and out. But those who only dabble in Beatle fandom, or those who are maybe just learning about the group, might have missed a few gems. These five songs won’t appear on too many greatest hits compilations by the Fab Four. But we’re here to tell you that they’re wonderful Beatles deep cuts that should be praised to the utmost.
“I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party” from ‘Beatles For Sale’ (1964)

It makes sense that one of the songs on this list would come from Beatles For Sale. That LP doesn’t get a lot of attention as a whole. The record came at a point where John Lennon and Paul McCartney were starting to stretch their songwriting boundaries, both in terms of topics and styles. “I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party” came from John Lennon, and it finds him trying out a subtle country and western vibe. But it’s the lyrics that truly stand out, as the narrator struggles with insecurity over a girl he can’t seem to corral.
“Yes It Is” B-side (1965)

B-sides also tend to fall below the radar when it comes to rating Beatles songs. At least “Yes It Is” snuck onto an LP in America (Beatles VI). Other B-sides of British singles couldn’t be found on American albums until the Past Masters series in the 80s. “Yes It Is” also wasn’t helped out much by its main composer, as John Lennon denigrated the song’s quality in interviews. Lennon felt like it was too derivative of “This Boy”, another harmony-drenched song of his. But “Yes It Is” stands tall on its own sorrowful terms.
