It turns up on six recordings, from 1963 to 1966. 'From Me to You' is the earliest and 'She Said She Said' the last. Two of them are 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' and 'Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand', and five of the six are Lennon's. Among them, 'From Me to You' has Hohner Echo Vamper on it, one of only two of their recordings that do.
