Here's an oddity that some of you may not know. 50 years ago today, to cash in on the success of I Want to Hold Your Hand, their first US release was re-released. What was it? It's below the spoiler tab.

[spoiler]
Decca 31382, released 23 April 1962!

The rarest of rare US singles (other than promos, etc.).

It was re-released on this day by MGM, as K-13213, with slight alterations (!) to its description, and reached #26 ...
