Take Good Care Of My Baby: Introduction

This Beatles cover song, “Take Good Care Of My Baby,” is an unreleased track. Indeed, this was one of the Decca audition songs on January 1, 1962. Although some of those tracks have become available, this one remains out-of-bounds for the time being. Of course, most Beatlemaniacs believe that all the tracks from the Decca audition deserve their own album release.
