Originally released in December, 1965. A riff so strong neither Jimi Hendrix or Otis Redding could resist it.
With the Beatles there was seldom such a thing as a b-side. BBC Radio 1 playlists determined "We Can Work It Out" should be the one to incite commuters on the run up to the inevitable Christmas office party and a thousand boozy fumbles next the franking machine. Who can argue ?
After their gruelling visit to Shea Stadium in August, things could only get more interesting in the studio.

It's so refreshing to see a Beatles track put up. Nice selection to boot! Stevie Wonder also had a hit with We Can Work It OUt - pretty damn good one also.
Cheers!
Thanks, WJZN. The Beatles sometimes seem like too easy a score in a pinch. But, so what.
Hey. I like Stevie's cover too. Great version.
Stevie's cover is a peach - have you heard the Lee Moses version of Day Tripper - scorchio!
PS - have you checked out Davey H's blog could imagine it'd be up your street
Haven't heard the Lee Moses cover. Thanks for the tip!
Yeah, The Ghost Of Electricity is a fine blog. We are acquainted!
He's up there in my "Honorary Siblings" links. As are you, of course.
