Catalogue Note
'I Remember Arnold', which is published on p.78 of In His Own Write, had previously appeared, unsigned, in an early issue of Mersey Beat dated 17 August 1961 - an issue which also included a number of absurd classified ads paid for by Lennon ("...Whistling Jock Lenon wishes to contact HOT NOSE..."). Like other early pieces, this was, however, retyped by Lennon for submission to Cape.
