History:

• A formula song, as the band has itself admitted, but important for one aspect: it's the first appearance on record of a song truly written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney together at the same time.
• This was recorded at the June 6, 1962 audition featuring Pete Best as the group's drummer, but that recording has been lost to history.

This song is very nostalgic. Not just for people in the 60's. It is for me as well. So please don't "Ask Me Why?"...
