Lennon/McCartney & Co. songs recorded by others?

And NOT recorded by the Beatles or solo artist?
A friend of mine is doing some research into the subject and I figured the Beatles Forum think tank would be a good place to start.
Thanks!

David: I'm sure we've had several threads covering this topic before. When you say 'not recorded by The Beatles', do you mean formally recorded and released or do demos and rehearsals count as recordings?

I'm talking about formally recorded & released songs. For example, I think Lennon/McCartney wrote some tunes that they felt didn't suit the Beatles, but they gave them to the Rolling Stones, who recorded them. Also, I'm wondering if any of the solo members write songs for others, which they didn't record themselves.
I thought this topic may have been covered previously, but I can't seem to find it by scanning through the subject lines of previous posts. If I'm repeating something that has already been talked to death, please forgive me and if possible, please point me in the direction of the thread that has covered this topic.
