Ain’t She Sweet by The Beatles - ***

First released: 1964

Recorded in 1961 in Hamburg, this is one of the eight Tony Sheridan recordings to have a Lennon vocal. Lennon's vocal is rough, but it's still quite nice, and it became a minor hit single in 1964 and originally appeared on ATCO's "Ain't She Sweet" album and Polydor's "In the Beginning" album in 1969 among numerous places where the Tony Sheridan tracks were released. Later, it ended up on 1994's "Anthology 1". There’s also a demo version released on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology". A 1969 version appears on 1996's "Anthology 3".
