16. A Taste Of Honey (Marlow/Scott)

Song Version validated Version details available Audio excerpt available Concert Hamburg, Star Club 31 Dec 1962 C.621231.03 The Beatles

The two Hamburg Performances of A Taste Of Honey feature many resemblances yet they are completely different. They both feature one of the boys (John ? Ringo ?) singing "Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Baaa" before the song. They both feature private jokes by the Beatles or the audience during the song and at one time (on the unedited version) this makes Paul laughing while singing. However, the two versions are completely different because one of these has an extra verse that is unique on all the survived versions of the song.

This version is in fact an edit of two (or more ?) versions. The spoken introduction by Paul is completely different than on the unedited version although some parts are common to both versions.

17. Money (That's What I Want) (Bradford/Gordy)
