No, the Beatles did not record "Penny Arcade." The song was written and originally recorded by British singer-songwriter Roy Orbison in the 1960s. Although the Beatles were contemporaries of Orbison and influenced by his work, they did not include "Penny Arcade" in their discography.
They toured with Helen Shapiro and Roy Orbison; when the tour started, Roy Orbison was the star and closed the performance - rather to the Beatles embarrassment - they were huge fans of Orbison - the playing order was swapped over after Please, Please Me got to Number 1 and the Beatles became the stars; closing the concert after Roy Orbison. George admitted they felt quite nervous about "following" Orbison.
No. They were an opening act for Orbison during his tour of England.
Roy Orbison coached Isaak n this song and many still credit Roy Orbison for actually singing the song, for purposes of bets!
