@iw32 Yeah this was a time when the Beatles could have produced an album of various trips to the shitter and they would have bought it. Its obvious that L/M were throwing out anything because bands hungry for material were standing in line.
O my heavens - I actually met Tommy Q backstage at the Southend Odeon - along with Gerry & the Pacemakers and Billy J Kramer - must've been late 196? I was an overawed 13 yr-old, but I must say all those guys were incredibly nice to me and signed aurtographs, plied me with Coke (cola that is), and I still remember it all to this day.
its a shame that we never hear this song, with others songs that john and paul done... like etcetera, hold on im comin, rock peace, and many others that they should recorded
This was essentially Lennon & McCartney's attempt at writing something that sounds like a Mitch Murray tune. It's pretty much in the same vein as "How Do You Do It?" and "I'm Telling You Now."
"This session has yet to emerge on any of The Beatles bootlegs."
And it never will, because, according to Mark Lewisohn's book "Beatles Recording Sessions", the session tapes were destroyed/erased after the masters for Please Please Me and Ask Me Why were done.
No problem, if you think I can help on anything else, just e-mail me.

Is this a Joe Meek produced recording?

@Mantanhattan No this isn't a Joe Meek produced recording. It's by George Martin.
The session drummer is the late Bobby Graham who recorded with Joe Meek in The Outlaws.
That is probably where you think ou've heard that familier sound from.
He was also with Joe Brown & The Bruvvers on their early 60's hits.
He also played on over 10, 000 recordings , which half entered the charts as 45's or on L.P. tracks by many groups or solo artists.
I hope this helps.

Heres hoping theres a tape sat in some attic around Liverpool or London just waiting to be re-discovered.

It was basically a McCartney's compose... Paul once said that hates this song, but listening to this nowadays, It doesn't seem to be so bad!

I've always liked this song, although the record is a bit underproduced. The bass is barely audible.
