The Beatles' version of this song is the best. The Pink Fairies' version doesn't add anything or explore any contemporaneous issues. A full decade after The Beatles recorded I Saw Her Standing There, the cover version hasn't interpreted the song in any intersting or important new way.
I am really intrigued by @Henry Irving 's comment about version one on the original post not being The Beatles. It doesnt't seem to be take one from the 11 February 1963 Please Please Me; it's certainly not take two (which was an outtake); and it's also not take nine, from which the "One, Two, Three, FOUR..." introduction is taken.
But it also sounds like The Beatles! I am absoutely sure it's Ringo playing drums.
McCartney recorded it "solo" in 1987, so it could be that version. Although, why would he bother to record an almost-identical version? Maybe it's Macca singing it on top of an original recording from the '63 session..?

Fits their sound much better.
Beatles sounds both rawer and sharper although the link seems to be to Macca solo version
The Beatles take it.
