The Beatles version reached no. 2 on Billboard in the U.S. in 1963, released by Vee-Jay Records based in Chicago. Vee-Jay was a black-owned record company like Motown. In the UK, Billy J. Kramer's version reached no. 2 on the British charts. The Beatles released it on their first album and as an EP in the UK. The Beatles also performed it for the BBC. There is a mono and stereo mix. This was Bob Dylan's favorite Beatles song.

@MrBeatlesCovers - I'll bet I've playlisted more orchestral Beatles covers than any other channel! I always loved the thought of the folks & grandfolks listening to rock songs & never realizing it !!!!!!!!!!

I've added this to my Tony Mottola and Music of 1964 playlists & I've got over 500 more lists to entice you with! 111 of them cover every year since 1900.
