Can’t Buy Me Love by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1964

Like "I Should Have Known Better", one can barely thinking of this song without thinking of Ringo bashing open the back door of the TV studio in "A Hard Day’s Night" and shouting, “We’re out!!” followed by the classic mayhem that help inspire The Monkees. It was yet another single hit. Strangely, it was also included on the "Hey Jude" compilation in 1970 where I feel that the slot would have been better filled with "The Inner Light". Later it appeared on 1973's "1962-1966". It's also on 2000's "1". A radio version from 1964 appeared on 1994's "Live at the BBC". A demo version appears on "Anthology 1" from 1995. Different live versions were performed by Paul on 1990’s "Tripping the Live Fantastic" and 2002/3's "Back in the US/World".
