They seem to be on the far left, being the most obvious at 0:08

I remember when it first came out, we were calling it the ‘Country & Western’ LP. A shift from the previous more R&B rock flavored records.

In the book “All The Songs: The Story Behind Every Beatles Release” it says that at 0:34, Paul “pulls too hard at his bass string, which is a bit out of tune” and that the same mistake happens between 1:00 and 1:04. It doesn’t sound wrong to me, though. Can you hear it?

I really really like the Ringo version. He also sang this song at the Concert for George and I really wish he had included the “Rock on George” blurbs there, it would have been so beautiful and bittersweet there.

P.S. Beatles For Sale is one of the best Beatles albums!

Johns version is fantastic.

I love Ringo, and I love this album, but John definitely did it better in their live show. The best thing I can say about this one is that it’s unmemorable.

Beatles For Sale is far from being their worst album.

According to Jeff Russel’s book The Beatles album file and copmplete discography Carl Perkins was present at the recording session.

I think that there’s no drums on this track. The rhythm are made for the acoustic guitar and the tambourine. I don’t hear any cymbals, toms or snare.

What you think?

What happened to the bass drum? It’s only audible a a few times throughout the song and whilst I acknowledge the bass drum is quite difficult to pick out on a large number of the Beatles’ earlier tracks – 1962-1964 – it’s practically gone AWOL here!

A simple song from the worst Beatles album (Beatles for sale)

This song really comes alive on the BBC version. John sings the song the way it was meant to be sung. I think the tempo is also quicker. If you’ve never heard this version you should check it out, it’s a proper Beatles-quality song unlike the Ringo version which, sadly, is a bit flat and plodding.

I think you should include that a version of this was included in the John Lennon Signature Box Set. I think that version sounds a lot more “raw”.

Oh God, Ringo’s vocals on this are just marvellous. 🙂 The best part is during the first chorus when there’s a hint of an incredulous laugh during one of the “Honey Don’t”s. And of course the pre-solo parts.

The Beatles for Sale page says that this song and “Mr. Moonlight” are the two most pointless covers on the album, but I definitely disagree. For me it would be “Rock and Roll Music” and “Kansas City” (although that one gets reasonably cool from the part where the “bye bye, bye bye” backing vocals start). The organ solo in “Mr. Moonlight” is one of the funniest Beatles moments ever IMO, and of course the vocals are amazing.

My favourite Carl Perkins cover, thanks to Ringo’s laid-back charisma.

One of my all time favorite Beatle’s song.

The Beatles could really do a cover and sound 300% better than the original without arranging the tune.

John played his acoustic 12-string and he also overdubbed a tambourine.

The track contents are:
1. Ringo’s drums, Paul’s bass
2. George’s Tennessean and John’s 12-string
3. Ringo’s vocal
4. John’s tambourine
