Somehow, it's the one early album for which a cover tune wouldn't
fit. If they wanted to keep the album filled with Lennon-McCartney
originals, and if they didn't care about giving Ringo a number, the
one that dates from this period would be "I Call Your Name" (which I
would have inserted between "Anytime At All" and "I'll Cry Instead" on
side two). Then they could have filled out the "Long Tall Sally" EP
with...I dunno, maybe "Bad Boy."
