It is not as hot as 'I Can't Explain or 'You Really Got Me' but then again, those songs came more than a couple years later. The two versions of the song are barely indistinguishable. George Martin at the time felt a session drummer 'White' was needed. What's interesting is that Ringo re-recorded it for his "Vertical Man' album. I guess that experience is still a thorn in his side. So what better resolution than taking the song for himself. It was great to hear him singing that! ]]> 20549@blogcritics.org Fri, 26 Sep 2003 22:23:46 EDT
