Words & Music by: Side A – John Lennon, Paul McCartney; Side B – Lennon, McCartney
Musicians: John Lennon (lead vocals on side A, backing vocal on side B, rhythm guitar, tambourine on side A), George Harrison (lead guitar, lead vocal on side B), Paul McCartney (bass, backing vocal on side B), Ringo Starr (drums, African drum on side B)

Highest chart positions: Side A - US #25; Side B - US #95
These songs were not released on a single in the UK.
Both tracks were included in The Beatles' 1964 album "A Hard Day's Night" and their debut movie of the same name.
I'd regard "I'll Cry Instead" one of the best rockabilly tracks The Beatles ever recorded.
Lennon & McCartney wrote the flip specifically for George Harrison to sing.
