NOTES:
1. “…The Beatles performed the song twice for the BBC for the From Us To You and Top Gear programs.[8]
A version sung by Lennon is available on Live at the BBC.[9] and a version sung by Starr was released on
On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2.
Paul McCartney's publishing company MPL Communications administers the rights to the song, originally
published by Hi Lo Music, Inc., BMI.
Along with "Matchbox", "Honey Don't" is one of the rare songs that all four Beatles have recorded or
performed on stage. …”

2. “…On Air - Live At The BBC Volume 2 was released in two-CD set and 180-gram vinyl versions. Both
include a 48-page booklet with an introduction by Paul McCartney and liner notes by BBC producer Kevin
Howlett.
There's a lot of energy and spirit. We are going for it, not holding back at all, trying to put in
the best performance of our lifetimes. - Paul McCartney…”
