16 Superhits, Volume 4

~ Release by The Beatles (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The booklet is incorrect: Track 12 is called "If I Fell Any" and this is obviously wrong. The correct title is "If I Fell". It first appeared on "A Hard Day's Night". Track 7 is called "Medley: Cansas City - Hey, Hey, Hey", but the common spelling is "Medley: Kansas City / Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" (from "Beatles for Sale").
