The song was released as a single along with "Day Tripper" in 1965.
Can you imagine owning a copy of that? Do any of you own a copy of it??? Can we see it?!
Day Tripper was going to be the single but Brian Epstein, George, Ringo and Paul considered it would be a more commercial hit. They were right, it was the most requested song by record buyers. Lennon wanted it to be Day Tripper and for that reason it was market as a double A - side (first in the world).
Which one would you have released? Day Tripper or this pop gem?
