[GT49er]

When a new Beatles LP came out, there were often one or two cover versions trying to make the singles charts - Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers had a hit with 'Got to get you into My Life', and somebody had a hit with Michelle, and I think someone did 'You've got to Hide your Love Away' too.
They wrote 'World without Love' for Peter and Gordon, too - probabaly 'cos Paul was knocking off Peter's sister.........

 

[1959]

Which was the song with the line about 'No Pakistanis'?

It was an early version of Get Back.

Technically the Beatles covered the Stones version....., since Keef and Mick released their version first.
