    2:24 • LiveL2 • The B-side of Carl Perkins’ Top Ten UK hit "Blue Suede Shoes", "Honey Don’t" was a Beatles stage favourite for several years before it appeared on their fourth album. John sings on an earlier BBC recording that was released on the first Live At The BBC album. At the final session for Beatles For Sale in October 1964, he generously gave ‹Honey Don’t› to Ringo for his featured vocal on the LP. From then on, it was exclusively Ringo’s number.
