"If I Fell" #53 9/5/1964 Bonus

It's pretty amazing that the US B-side of "And I Love Her" was one of the finest Beatle songs ever. John said this was his first real attempt at a ballad. Not too shabby, IMHO. The mono and stereo mixes have a noticeable difference near the end of the second "...was in vain" as Paul's voice cracks on the stereo version. They fixed it here on the mono one. It appeared on the soundtrack of "A Hard Day's Night" where John serenades an unhappy Ringo in the movie to cheer him up.

Another difference in the stereo and mono mixes:
The opening vocal intro has John singing solo, the stereo double-tracked duet.
