Bad Boy (US-only track) 1965


#. Bad Boy
- Features on the US-only album Beatles VI, released in June 1965.
- Was eventually released onto the UK market as part of a compilation album a year and a half later (December 1966).
- Originally written, performed and released by Larry Williams as a single in 1959.
- The band recorded the song on Williams' birthday, the 10th of May.
- Lennon sings the lead vocals.
- Recorded in the same session as
Dizzy Miss Lizzy during the making of the Help! album. Both were intended as US-only tracks, but Dizzy Miss Lizzy ended up getting included on Help! due to a shortage of material.
- This is one of the only official Beatles studio recordings that isn't found on one of their official UK albums, singles or EPs.
