"I Call Your Name" Album cut

One of John Lennon's early attempts at songwriting, he gave it to Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas - then the Beatles decided to try and record the tune themselves. The tempo change in the middle was what they said was an attempt at Jamaican ska, a predecessor of reggae. Audio is from one of their many BBC Radio appearances.
