John Lennon’s 80th: “I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party” #39 3/20/1965

John Lennon would’ve been 80 today. That’s a reality check for sure. This country-flavored one was on the UK album ”Beatles For Sale,” but the US release was held back by Capitol Records for several months, finally showing up on the Beatles VI album over here. It was also the B-side of the “Eight Days A Week” single, reaching #39 on its own. John could write in just about any style, as this was apparently meant for Ringo to sing. For whatever reason Lennon did the vocals himself. Gone far too soon, John. Far too soon.
