“Ticket To Ride” was recorded in February 1965 and released on April 9, 1965 (19th in the UK) and started a quick climb to the top making #1 on May 22nd.
The song held the top spot for a week. Of course it was #1 in Canada and the UK.
The B-side was “Yes It Is”, a sweet harmony ballad that we loved to snuggle to in the school gym.

‘Ticket to Ride’ is from The Beatles slap-stick comedy movie ‘Help’, directed by the brilliant British director Richard Lester.
For a real laugh, watch Lester’s send-up of the 60s lifestyle “The Knack… And How to Get It.”
‘Ticket to Ride’ – one of the great rock and roll songs of all time.
It rates #384 on the Rolling Stone Magazine list of top 500 rock songs.
Rock on!
