@VerhagenAnita Wrong. It is Ringo. "After the 18th take, Ringo Starr flung his drum sticks across the studio[14] and screamed, "I got blisters on my fingers!" The Beatles included Starr's shout on the stereo mix of the song (available on CD); ... then quickly fades back in with three cymbal crashes and Ringo's scream (some sources erroneously credit the "blisters" line to Lennon; in fact, Lennon can be heard asking "How's that?" before Ringo's outburst)."

Side note: don't have the 45 single anymore or much of any music. That's why I spend much of my free time on YouTube playing music I really like.

This is a cool song by The Beatles. I remember in late 1976 when I was 14 I played the single on a jukebox and I was blown away when I first heard it. I had since bought the 45 with "Got to get you into my life" being on the other side. I like when they do the fade out/in and ringo pounds on the drums and says "I got blisters on my fingers!!"  This doesn't have that but still it is a great song. Thanks for posting this cool rarity, Chris. :)

Oh, it's been years since I've heard this version. The echoing drums for each beat Ringo pounds... the laughing Paul does and the awesome drum rolls Ringo does at the ending before the song fades. Thank you for bringing back the memories!!!
