Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut single that launched The Beatles' recording career, characterized by John Lennon's bluesy, wailing harmonica riff. The recording process was notoriously chaotic, resulting in three distinct versions utilizing three different drummers (Pete Best, Ringo Starr, and session player Andy White). While relatively primitive compared to their later studio achievements, its raw, harmonic charm broke the group into the UK singles chart.
