Where To Find This Track:
We will possibly only ever hear this speech on the following album:
1822 Speech
To begin with, this speech track is only 10 seconds long. John Lennon, in his usual witty voice, says, “This is a Dorsey Burnette number, brother of Johnny Burnette, called ‘Lonesome Tears in My Eyes’, recorded on their very first LP in 1822! (*all laugh*) Ha!”
Lennon’s speech precedes the track, “Lonesome Tears in My Eyes.” However, on the album, it has a specific track number. In this case, it sits as track 11 on disc 2. Therefore, we list this as a single item.
In their early days, The Beatles made many recordings for BBC Radio. This speech track is from the BBC’s “Pop Go The Beatles,” airing on July 23, 1963.
