   "Mr. Moonlight" is definitely strange. I bet that without that   
   unfathomable 'honking' organ solo, most people would have considered the   
   song a nice-enough trip back in time to the Beatles' Star Club catalog.   
      
   I spent some time searching for reviews of "Beatles for Sale," and found a   
   few articles, all written post Y2K, most of which conveniently omit Mr.   
   Moonlight from any mention. However, a critic from the BBC absolutely   
   loved the song.
