Didn't the fab four record a version too?

 

[BlueHammer85]

Didn't the fab four record a version too?

Yep , on one of their anthology’s

They did, under duress, John sang it, they hated it. It sounded half hearted.
It wasn't released until the 90's on an anthology (as someone said.)
Paul's high harmony was 1st class.
