Tip of My Tongue is a single by Tommy Quickly backed by The Remo Four. It is one of the few songs written by Lennon/McCartney that were never officially released by The Beatles. Several takes of this song were apparently recorded on 26 November 1962 at EMI Studios, although George Martin was dissatisfied with the results. This session has yet to emerge on any of The Beatles bootlegs.

Surprisingly, although Quickly's version was released in the UK as Beatlemania was taking off, the single was a flop and proved merely the first of a series of career disappointments for the singer. "Tip of My Tongue" remains the only original A-side written by Lennon/McCartney not to have at least made the UK top 75 upon its initial release.
