This song is a cover of a song by Carl Perkins, who he was a fan of.

This was the 13th single released in Japan in 1964. The original Carl Perkins was invited to the studio to record it. The B-side "Slow Down" is also a cover song, originally by Larry Williams.

Ringo Starr was the lead singer on "Matchbox," but he had a sore throat during the recording and was hospitalized two days later with acute tonsillitis and pharyngitis. The B-side, "Slow Down," was originally a song in The Beatles' repertoire, with John Lennon singing lead vocals.
