Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by Paul McCartney's famous 'one, two, three, faw!' count-in, this track perfectly captures the blistering, sweaty energy of the band's Cavern Club performances. The driving bassline, heavily influenced by Chuck Berry, anchors an explosive, high-tempo rocker that defined the aggressive edge of early Merseybeat.
