HISTORICAL REFERENCE SPECIFICS:

Its composition was an attempt by John Lennon [1][2] at writing a song in the style of Motown star Smokey Robinson,[3] specifically his song "I've Been Good To You", which has similar circular doo-wop chord changes, melody and arrangement. Paul McCartney cites The Teddy Bears 1959 hit "To Know Him Is To Love Him" as also being influential.[2] Lennon, McCartney, and George Harrison join together to sing an intricate three-part close harmony in the verses and refrain (originally the middle eight was conceived as a guitar solo, but altered during the recording process)[4] and a similar song writing technique is exercised in later Beatles songs, such as "Yes It Is" and "Because".

An instrumental version of "This Boy", orchestrated by George Martin, is used as the incidental music during Ringo Starr's towpath scene in the film A Hard Day's Night. The piece, under the title, "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" was released as a single - but failed to chart in the UK - on 7 August 1964 with "And I Love Her" on the B Side, although it did reach number 53 in the American Top 100 later that year. It was also included on Martin’s Parlophone album Off the Beatle Track and the EP Music From A Hard Day’s Night by the George Martin Orchestra, released 19 February 1965. It was also included on the American A Hard Day's Night soundtrack album.

RECORD:

45 is VG on the vinyl with very light sleeve hairlines.  Labels are a nice VG+.

Picture Sleeve:

Sleeve is VG or slightly better.  It looks much better in person than scans show.  Has very light record impression and light soiling.  Light wear on the uper edges.  Not much though as far as outright ringwear at all which is unusual for this sleeve.  The back is especially nice as far as these sleeves go.  Its one of the more rare Beatles sleeves.  Price sticker is obvious, but very common.
