A Taste of Honey

A Taste of Honey is the 12th track on the album "Please Please Me" on side two. It was originally made by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow. They played this song several times when The Beatles were at the BBC. It was recorded in 1963.

The Beatles Version
The Beatles performed the song in their live repertoire from 1962, adopting Lenny Welch's adaptation, slightly changing the lyrics in the chorus. A version from this time was released in 1977 on the album ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live%21_at_the_Star-Club_in_Hamburg,_Germany;_1962 Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962]''(not released when when Beatles were together). In 1967, Paul McCartney wrote “Your Mother Should Know” based on a line taken from the screenplay, shown in the Magical Mystery Tour film.
