Paul McCartney Lost the Notebook Containing His and John Lennon's First Songs

Paul McCartney has revealed that he’s lost the notebook containing his and John Lennon‘s first songs. If Paul ever finds it, it would be instrumental to understanding one of music’s most famous songwriting partnerships.

n The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul explained that he and John thought of themselves as Lennon and McCartney from the beginning of their songwriting partnership.

He wrote, “It was because we’d heard of Gilbert and Sullivan, Rodgers and Hammerstein. Lennon and McCartney That’s good. There are two of us, and we can fall into that pattern.”

In those early days, Paul and John put their names next to their first songs in a school exercise notebook. “‘Love Me Do‘ came from around that period, as did ‘One After 909,'” Paul wrote. “That might have been as far back as 1957. About 10 or 15 years ago, I found that school exercise book. I put it in my bookcase. I’ve since lost it. I don’t know where it is. I think it might show up somewhere. It’s the first Lennon and McCartney manuscript.”
