Mr. Moonlight
“Mr. Moonlight, come again, please”
Cover of Roy Lee Johnson's 1962 B-side (originally cut by Dr. Feelgood & The Interns), opened by Lennon's full-throated unaccompanied cry. A long-time Hamburg-era set list staple, included on Beatles For Sale to fill out the album under deadline pressure.
