This is a real piece of history... The Beatles' ASK ME WHY was the B side of their second single, Please Please Me in 1963. It was also included in their debut album of the same title.

Written by John Lennon, it was first recorded by the band in November, 1962.

Here is an ORIGINAL print of the US sheet music that was released in the USA right after the first Ed Sullivan Show, in March, 1964. Only 5,000 were printed across the USA.

It shows some age wear, like a small cut on the cover between Ringo and Paul, and goes through the back. There's also a seam split on the upper portion. The photos reveal more of the condition details. No writing anywhere...

Back date code is F5M 364, Keys Publishing number is 05511. Shipping is a flat $5 in the USA.

Thanks for looking.
