Peter & Gordon – A World Without Love
From the counter

A McCartney song where the first record has somebody else's name on it. Start with Peter & Gordon, then hear Del Shannon take a swing at the same tune.

Lennon wrote it, but the first record of it belongs to Peter & Gordon, with Del Shannon cutting his own version the same year. It's a Lennon song heard in someone else's voice from the start.
