There are actually 3 studio versions with different vocals, cowbell start in variances to my knowledge. Capitol - Parlophone - Odeon. 2 of which are imports.

Can't get the site to accept the YouTube link to the I Call Your Name Beatles cartoon. You may perform your own search under Beatles Cartoon I Call Your Name to hear the US version of I Call Your Name.

The CD rating was not the purpose for my comment. I noticed quite a number of years ago that there are two versions of I Call Your Name. If you listen to the US and British versions, you will see that there is some cowbell missing from the British version. If you have a fever and the only thing that will cure it is "more cowbell," you should listen to the US version of I Call Your Name. Here's a link to The Beatles cartoon which features the US version (from The Beatles' Second Album). Listen for yourself: Compare it to the British version (from Past Masters - Volume One) and it will seem like someone just realized "Hey, I'm supposed to be playing the cowbell!" And as a result, the cowbell seems to begin abruptly and makes the British version seem somewhat "disjointed" by comparison. My question(s) would be: Were these two versions recorded the same day? Are the two different versions the result of mixing/producing vs. alternative takes?
