In 1994, their recording was commercially released on the album Live at the BBC. The song also influenced a later Beatles song, "The Ballad of John and Yoko" in that the outro guitar riff to that song was inspired by the corresponding intro guitar riff on "Lonesome Tears in My Eyes". On the BBC recording, John Lennon introduces the song as "recorded in 1822".
