Just Seen a Face" to their set, along with the country-inflected Beatles song "What Goes On". Produced by Paul A. Rothchild and co-produced by Peter K. Siegel, recording for Beatle Country took place in September 1966 at Columbia's studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The CRVB's cover of "I've Just Seen a Face" changes the composition in several ways, including transposing it from the key of A to G. Structurally, the CRVB add extra instrumental breaks for banjo, mandolin and fiddle – a typical feature of bluegrass music, where each musician is allowed the chance to solo – as well as repeating the chorus an extra time, which musicologist Laura Turner writes serves to emphasise the "quintessential bluegrass technique" of close three-part harmonies. She describes the biggest differences between versions as their different textures and timbres, in particular the "incessant, 'walking' upright bass line that provides energetic drive, sparking mandolin tremolo, rolling banjo figures, and intricate, often double-stopped fiddle motifs that permeate the texture." Elektra released Beatle Country in November 1966. "I've Just Seen a Face" was the LP's opening track, and Field later characterised the song as the foundation piece of the entire album. A contemporary review in Cash Box magazine counts the cover as one of the five best tracks on the album, and a retrospective assessment by John Paul of the online magazine Spectrum Culture describes it as "like a lost bluegrass standard". When the Boston Bluegrass Union awarded the CRVB the Heritage Award in 2013, "I've Just Seen a Face" was among the songs the band performed during the award ceremony at the city's annual Joe Val Bluegrass Festival. Bluegrass groups Besides the Charles River Valley Boys, numerous bluegrass groups have covered the song. Doggett writes the tempo and chord changes of "I've Just Seen a Face" "[cry] out for a banjo and mandolin", and Turner argues it has been "key in stimulating a relationship between bluegrass and the music of the Beatles". The progressive bluegrass band the Dillards recorded a cover of the song between the British release of Help! and the North American release of Rubber Soul; they had hoped to issue the song in the US before the Beatles, though the recording went unreleased. They later recorded a cover for their 1968 album Wheatstraw Suite. Joining elements of traditional mountain music and modern country music, their version includes high harmonies, a banjo and a pedal
