It was most notably performed by the Beatles at their unsuccessful 1 January 1962 audition for Decca Records.
[2] That performance, which took place before Ringo Starr joined the band and featured Pete Best on drums, was recorded by Decca and was finally released on the Beatles' Anthology 1 in 1995.
The Beatles' Decca rendition of "Like Dreamers Do" was received favourably by employees at EMI's publishing arm, Ardmore & Beechwood, in February 1962.
Bas Muys covered "Like Dreamers Do" on his 1989 album Secret Songs: Lennon & McCartney, in a similar style to The Beatles' original performance.
[6][7] Seattle band Apple Jam covered this song on their 2009 album, Off the Beatle Track, in the style of "This Boy".
