Such a rocking song – I wish George Martin would have let the Beatles record more songs like this, “Some Other Guy”, “Red Hot”, etc on “Please Please Me” – would have made the album much more exciting and a helluva lot more like their actual club sound. Lennon might have dubbed it his favorite Beatles record lol.

You could tell that the Beatles put everything they had into this song to make it sound great. Without the harmonica and the Little Richard impersonation, this song wouldn’t be one of the best on the Live at the BBC album. They probably sped the song up to please the audience in Hamburg, and I’m glad they did.

Remember when we used to make mix tapes? Years ago, just for fun I decided to make a tape of all Beatles cover songs (EMI, BBC, live, etc.) using the original artist’s recordings only. I tracked down all of them except for this one & “Devil In Her (His) Heart”.

How the Beatles transformed a drab “Be Bop A Lula”-style original into a raving rock song is little short of a miracle. A standout from the BBC set.
