Doesn't sound like Tate's sound on this recording to me......
A lot of times tracks are left on the cutting room floor and don't make it to the final pressing.

In Ian Macdonalds book about all Beatles sessions, Lennon is given as the 
harmonica player on "From me to you". But that may be wrong -- I think he worked 
with written records -- and it adds a little something to think that it could be 
Douglas Tate.
