Peggy Sue by John Lennon – ***

First released: 1975

A most unlikely reunion of Lennon and McCartney that you’ll ever get is with this tune on Lennon’s "Rock ‘n’ Roll" album that is fleeting at best. By the time Lennon recorded this in 1975, McCartney had purchased the Buddy Holly catalog and so MPL gets a credit. The Buddy Holly version of this Allison/Petty/Holly tune was originally released in 1957. It was also on "Instant Karma" from 2001. There’s also a demo version released on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology".
