The soulful pain and weariness John brings to this vocal are so beyond his years. I wonder why they didn’t include this classic rendition on one of their early albums.

Ann’s version from 1961 is one of the first instances of a fuzz guitar heard on record. Another would be Marty Robbins’ “Don’t Worry” from the same year.

Quite possibly John’s most obscure & oddest addition to their stage show (Paul’s would probably be “The Honeymoon Song”. That said, John’s interpretation is quite well done, although Ann-Margret’s version is naturally more sultry. I had Ann’s version on an RCA Victor 45 as a kid, still got it , in fact.

I saw the beatles in glasgow in 1963.One of the support bands was a group called the cresters who came on immediately before them and finished their set with “you really got a hold on me” as “a nod to whats coming up next” A few weeks later they brought out “I just dont understand as a single”.At the time I wasn’t aware that it had been in the Beatles repertoire.I wonder if the Beatles suggested it to them.
