Rock and Roll Music by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1964

I believe The Beatles version of this song is much stronger than composer Chuck Berry’s version. Berry’s version is a little too laid back in comparison. That was always the great thing about when The Beatles did a cover version; they really made it their own, so much so that you could have sworn they wrote it. It was originally on Beatles For Sale. A 1964 radio version appears on 1994's "Live at the BBC". A 1966 live version appears on "Anthology 2" in 1996.
