Little Queenie is a Chuck Berry song that appealed to the Beatles in the early days. They covered it during their Hamburg days, but never recorded it for EMI, BBC or Apple. The sole Beatles' track of this song is available on LIVE! At the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962. Paul sings the lead vocals. Later, the song would be covered by The Rolling Stones.

Chuck Berry's Version (from the movie Go Johnny, Go)
