"Thank You Girl" #35 5/9/1964 Bonus

Originally released in the spring of 1963, this was to be a UK A-side until John and Paul wrote "From Me To You" so it became the B-side of that single. In America it was the flip of "Do You Want To Know A Secret" and charted on its own in May '64, even though there was far too much reverb added after the fact by an empty suit at Capitol Records. That made the original US issue of "Thank You Girl" almost unintelligible, much as Capitol did back in the day with "I Feel Fine" and "She's A Woman." Thus, those became some of the first Beatles tracks to be cleaned up and remastered for compact disc re-release in the 80's.
