First released: 1966
One of three Lennon tracks inexplicably left off of "Revolver" in the US in favor of the "Yesterday and Today" compilation. Although it is not one of my favorite tunes by The Beatles, it was and is a travesty that their material was treated that way up through 1966. When CDs were released in 1987, this song was there, on "Revolver", as it should have been. A demo version appears on "Anthology 2" in 1996 complete with The Beatles incessant giggling.
The main reason for my dislike of the song is that it always seems that Lennon is straining to sing it, and the lyrics and music are below the standards of a typical Beatles song of the time, especially when you compare it to "Tomorrow Never Knows" off the same album.
