The James Ray cut was a nice discovery. Weird Redding pick though.

This are not really a list of favourite songs as stated by John Lennon. These songs are the singles that Lennon put on a jukebox he bought in 1965. Taken from wikipedia: "John Lennon's jukebox is a KB Discomatic jukebox made in the UK using a Swiss-made mechanism which Lennon bought in 1965. Lennon filled it with forty singles to accompany him on tour."
