Written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richard Barrett, Some Other Guy was first released by Barrett as a single in 1962. Footage of The Beatles performing Some Other Guy is the only known surviving film of the group at the Cavern Club.
Brian had had a policy at NEMS of buying at least one copy of every record that was released. If it sold, he'd order another one, or five or whatever. Consequently he had records that weren't hits in Britain, weren't even hits in America. Before going to a gig we'd meet in the record store, after it had shut, and we'd search the racks like ferrets to see what new ones were there. That's where we found artists like Arthur Alexander and Ritchie Barrett - Some Other Guy was a great song.George Harrison
Acetates of The Beatles' performance of Some Other Guy from that day were later circulated in Liverpool, pressed up by Brian Epstein and sold from his NEMS store. The acetates featured a slightly different audio version, indicating that Granada captured The Beatles performed the song more than once that day.
