I didn't realise there was a 1951 version, I only knew the 1958 one which I liked, it's interesting to see how the musical style had evolved:

I never knew there was another version of the song. I loved the 1958 version and it was one of my favorite songs to dance to at the Saturday night dances. It really sounds better in the 1958 version.
 
49 Years Ago

On 6 September 1968, during a ride from Surrey into London, Harrison asked friend Eric Clapton to contribute lead guitar to the song. Clapton was reluctant, saying later, "Nobody ever plays on the Beatles' records"; but Harrison convinced him, and Clapton's guitar parts, using Harrison's Gibson Les Paul electric guitar "Lucy" (a recent gift from Clapton), were recorded that evening.[SUP][6][/SUP] Harrison later said that in addition to his contribution, Clapton's presence had another effect on the band: "It made them all try a bit harder; they were all on their best behaviour."[SUP][6][/SUP] Clapton wanted a more "Beatley" sound, so the sound was run through an ADT circuit with "varispeed," with engineer Chris Thomas manually 'waggling' the oscillator: "apparently Eric said that he didn't want it to sound like him. So I was just sitting there wobbling the thing, they wanted it really extreme, so that's what I did." -wiki

Sadly, the video isn't of the entire band but there are some pretty good replacements :)
