Hard Day’s Night, A by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1964

The opening guitar chord is the reason to like this song. If you don’t like that, you don’t like The Beatles. It’s such a famous chord that The Kinks ripped it off for their 1984 recording of "Do It Again". It was also a hit single and on the album of the same name and of course, in The Beatles’ first feature film. Later it appeared on 1973's "1962-1966". It's also on 2000's "1". A demo version appears on "Anthology 1" from 1995. The Beatles also performed this on the radio in 1964 and this version was released in 1994 on "Live at the BBC".
