"Yesterday" b/w "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" by The Beatles (Parlophone HHR 138)


This was one of the "Dutch only" singles released by The Beatles. In the USA and Germany "Yesterday" had "Act naturally" on the B-side. I think these two songs, which were subsequent tracks on the non-film side of the "Help!" LP helped create the fable that Paul was the soft one and John the rocker. But for every "Yesterday" there was an "I'm down" and for every "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" there was a "You've got to hide your love away". Both were great songwriters and had every style down pat.
