The Beatles: Bad Boy (1965)

"Bad Boy" is a song written by Larry Williams. It is one of several Larry Williams songs which The Beatles covered during their career. Along with "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", "Bad Boy" was recorded by The Beatles on May 10, 1965, (Larry Williams' birthday) and was originally intended for a solely American release; however, "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" featured on the British "Help!" album that year. "Bad Boy" was first released on "Beatles VI" in June 1965. It eventually got a UK release on "A Collection of Beatles Oldies" in December 1966. It is also available on the 1988 release, "Past Masters, Volume One". The song features John Lennon on lead vocal and rhythm guitar, Paul McCartney on bass, George Harrison on double-tracked lead guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums and tambourine.
