According to the Beatles Bible website, October 18, 1964 was a busy day for The Fab Four. They recorded three new originals and five cover songs at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios. Of the latter, these included:

• “Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!” by Little Richard
• “Words of Love” by Buddy Holly
• “Mr Moonlight” by Dr. Feelgood
• “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby” by Carl Perkins
• “Rock And Roll Music” by Chuck Berry

The original tracks that they laid were:

• “Eight Days A Week” by Lennon-McCartney
• “I Feel Fine” by Lennon
• “I’ll Follow The Sun” by McCartney

I could do Little Richard’s voice, which is a wild, hoarse, screaming thing; it’s like an out-of-body experience. You have to leave your current sensibilities and go about a foot above your head to sing it. You have to actually go outside yourself. It’s a funny little trick and when you find it, it’s very interesting.

— Paul McCartney

It requires a great deal of nerve to just jump up and scream like an idiot, you know? Anyway, I would often fall a little bit short, not have that little kick, that soul, and it would be John who would go, ‘Come on! You can sing it better than that, man! Come on, come on! Really throw it!’ Alright, John, OK… He was certainly the one I looked up to, most definitely.

— Paul McCartney, 1984
