About
From Anthology 2 liner notes:
Within two days of recording If You’ve Got Trouble, the Beatles taped a further number for the Help! movie that would also remain unissued. Indeed, they made two concerted attempts at recording Paul’s That Means A Lot, dedicating five hours to the task on 20 February […] and then cutting a re-make on 30 March. But it was all to no avail. “We thought we’d give it to somebody who could sing it well,” John Lennon told the New Musical Express soon after the Beatles decided to relinquish the song, indicating P J Proby, the era’s most controversial singer, whose exclusive version was issued in September 1965 and reached 24 on the same paper’s singles chart.
