}} I Call Your Name is a song written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was released in the US on The Beatles' Second Album on 16 May 1964 and in the UK on the Long Tall Sally EP on 19 June 1964. ==Overview== Lennon wrote the song prior to the formation of the Beatles. In 1963, he gave the song to Billy J. Kramer of The Dakotas, another Liverpool band who were signed to Parlophone by George Martin. Kramer released it as the B-side of the single "Bad to Me", another Lennon–McCartney composition. Lennon was reportedly dissatisfied with the Dakotas' arrangement of his song as well as its position as the single's B-side, so the Beatles recorded their own version. The song features George Harrison playing the Rickenbacker 360/12 guitar, offering the distinctive sound of the famous guitar to the world for the first time. The opening guitar riff differs slightly between the mono and stereo mixes. The cowbell also starts earlier in the mono mix. It first appeared in the United States on the Capitol Records release ''The Beatles' Second Album'', appearing later in the United Kingdom on the EP ''Long Tall Sally''. The song's instrumental bridge is the Beatles' first attempt at ska. The song was never added to the film ''A Hard Day's Night'' because director Richard Lester rejected it for sounding too similar to "You Can't Do That," which was recorded five days prior and featured on the non-soundtrack side of the album release. "I Call Your Name" was re-released in 1988 on the compilation album ''Past Masters''. The Beatles recorded the song for the BBC radio programme ''Saturday Club'' on 31 March 1964 (transmitted 4 April 1964). However, this performance has not been commercially released. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Call Your Name」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
