** One of the few instances of The Beatles' version of one of their own songs being eclipsed by a cover: "I Wanna Be Your Man". They gave it to Music/TheRollingStones, whose recording was already a hit by the time ''With The Beatles'' appeared. The Beatles pretty much conceded that contest from the outset - their version was sung by Ringo.

* SophomoreSlump: Interestingly, the original liner notes have the band's PR guy Tony Barrow not only openly admit that the album is a blatant attempt to recreate the formula of ''Music/PleasePleaseMe'', he uses it as a selling point.

** "Devil in Her Heart" may be the single most obscure CoverVersion they ever did. The Donays (a GirlGroup from Detroit) released "Devil in His Heart" on a tiny local label in 1961 and apparently [[OneBookAuthor never recorded anything else]], so by default the Beatle version is better known.

* MemeticMutation: While not ''as'' frequently used as the covers for, say, ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'' or ''Music/AbbeyRoad'', the album art for ''With the Beatles'' is a common source of parodies in popular media (US-based parodies often append a riff on the ''Meet the Beatles!'' title used on Creator/CapitolRecords' American release of ''Music/PleasePleaseMe'', though the cover ''image'', like that of ''Meet the Beatles!'', comes from ''With'').
