Mum was a member of the Cavern Club and bought this album from NEMS in Liverpool. Mum is no longer with us, but we still have her record collection including this album. Mum told us that NEMS had two stores in Liverpool. Sales from one store counted towards the charts, whereas sales from the other store didn’t. Mum said that anyone buying a record of a Brian Epstein act from the store that did not count towards the charts were sent to the other store to buy it.

Vocally, this has always been my favourite Beatles album even if the standard of song writing improved later on. The boys really seem to be giving some much passion to every vocal and the rawness of the recordings just add to this. In part, I like to think that this was because the Beatles realised that this could have been their last recording session and just gave it everything they had

I actually love hearing the stereo version of this album and With The Beatles. As a producer and recording engineer it makes me to think about how restrictive and limiting the process was compared to today and how much engineers had make executive decisions on the fly as the commitment to tape was final in those situations so they all had to get it right: the band and the studio staff involved. Wish I could go back to the 60s and put myself in that situation just to see how they actually worked.

There's an additional error at the rare PPM-label shown from 6:22 - besides swapping There's A Place and A Taste Of Honey, Do You Want To Know A Secret is called 'Do You Want To Know'! 😮 I later saw that A Secret actually was there, but There's A Place had come between the first and the second part of the title!

It was actually one of the last Beatles LPs I bought at the end of the 1970s - after collecting basically Revolver to Abbey Road (basically all albums “created” in the studio rather than performed live) and then all the compilations that came out in the mid-seventies which did have some early stuff but not much. Going back to the beginning in 1963 was a total revelation. So THIS is the origin of the Beatles! THIS is what they sounded like originally! It was so raw and energetic and fresh.

Having purchased "Rock 'n' Roll Music" (1976) first, I already knew Twist And Shout, I Saw Her Standing There and Boys a few years before hearing "Please Please Me" from start to finish in the late 70s for the first time. My main memory is me noticing the somehow crude quality of John's voice (of course, I wasn't aware of that he had a cold on many of the songs). I even heard and bought "Live! at the Star-Club, 1962" (1977) before "Please Please Me", which meant I'd also heard those live versions of A Taste Of Honey and Ask Me Why first. That's what it was like being a second generation Beatles-fan; You got confused by all these new tempting products, including Live At The Hollywood Bowl and Love Songs! The latter also included P.S. I Love You. From before, I knew Love Me Do and Please Please Me from my schoolmate's red album (1962 - 1966). All of that meant the "Please Please Me" album from the start could never be a fresh, seamless listening experience in my case, as less than half the album (six songs) were new to me. In other words, I already knew eight of its songs from different compilations and versions. So, strangely enough, I guess the most revealing moments for me must have been hearing the studio versions of Ask Me Why and A Taste Of Honey for the first time, having been used to the low-fi live versions off of the Hamburg album! Ask Me Why: Such blissfull lyrics ...! For that reason alone the song was suddenly quite revealing to a teenager like me. A Taste Of Honey: My god, that reverberation felt as if they were singing it in a big cathedral compared to the Star-Club in Hamburg ...

Just bought a copy in the UK a week ago. A mono yellow-black Parlophone, well-played, but still sounds excellent. Turned out to be a Decca contract pressing. Some facts on the German version. It was actually the second Beatles album released in Germany (after WTB; PPM came out in early 1964). And even back then, apart from the (in my opinion, eye-cancer-inducing) HörZu cover, there was also a small edition released on Gold-Red-White stereo Odeon label with a UK-style cover - that version was exclusively for sale on foreign military bases and is worth hundreds of euros now. And, as opposed to the HörZu, it was stereo only. The German -2/-2 cut has runout matrices in the font style that was introduced at Electrola around 1968 (though it is all a bit complicated as far as accurate dating is concerned). So your estimation of the 2nd cut is not too far off, I think.

Please Please Me always gets overlooked being their first and given all that came after but it still holds water to this day. Someone was able to send me hi-res transfers of the mono mix, as I haven’t gotten it on wax yet, and am stuck with a run of the mill 70s press. For what it’s worth it sounds fine but I would love a 2014 and I gravitate towards listening to those files over the stereo. Great informative video as always Andrew.

Throughout his career in many interviews the composer, Stephen Sondheim, often explained that the rise of rock/pop artists in the late 1950's and 1960's replaced music from the stage as the primary source for popular music. It makes sense then that the Sound of Music was a top selling album followed by The Beatles. It illustrates that evolution and is also a reminder of one more way that The Beatles were changing the musical landscape.

Please Please Me was the first Beatle album I ever owned on any format (CD). It was during a school trip, i was 13, and had some spare time so we went to the mall to have lunch and me and my best friend (who introduced me to the Beatles) went to a music store and I got PPM and he bought Sgt. Pepper. It was in 2009, the best recent year to become a beatlemaniac as they and their music were everywhere and all the stores had the reissued CDs at the front. So it brings good memories, It is always exciting to hear the "one, two, three, four!" and go back to those days. And although I'm not a fan of most of the covers, Twist and Shout is always a banger.

I also collect classical lp's and can echo that German pressings/cuts from late 60's/early 70's can sound surprisingly good, with some of their reissues clearly improving on previous editions, even with recordings that were made by UK companies like EMI or Decca. In some cases, the difference is quite remarkable. Please Please Me is my favourite Beatles lp. The tracks that were recorded during that infamous all-day session are, to me, true standouts in their entire discography. John's nasal and hoarse voice on tracks like Anna or Baby, It's You gives me goosebumps every time.

For my first album proper, it was "Please Please Me". What better way to start than all the way at the beginning? Although some of the covers ("Anna", "Chains") are a bit tepid and borderline "What were they thinking" ("Taste Of Honey"), "Twist and Shout" is the cover that they made their own, and the originals are fun and enjoyable. Although I wish the dry Delta Mono mix would see the light of day one day, granted it still exists.

I truly do love this album. When I started becoming a fan of the group in 1983, cassette tapes ruled the marketplace, and I picked up every Capitol release I could get my hands on. Of course, all of the early album tracks were in the twin track stereo or binaural fake stereo. It wasn't until the CD releases in 1987 that I really could appreciate the superior sound of the mono mixes, especially for the first two albums. When it comes to a super deluxe package of this album, sadly, it will be somewhat limited in scope because the actual session tapes were erased after the master tapes were created, which was common practice at EMI during that time. All of the alternate takes from that period of sessions in 1962 and early 1963 that were in the bootleg marketplace before the Anthology releases in the mid Nineties and the release in December 2013 of "The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963", were mostly from John Lennon's personal archive or George Martin's personal archive. What I do know that does exist from February 11, 1963, are most, if not all, of the takes from the morning session for "There's A Place" and "I Saw Her Standing There". From the afternoon session, only "Misery" may have all takes. For "A Taste of Honey" and "Do You Want to Know a Secret", only the alternate vocal overdub tracking takes have surfaced. Nothing from the evening session has ever surfaced. On the positive side though, it seems that a large majority of the March 5, 1963, "From Me to You" / "Thank-You Girl" session does exist. This could help pad the deluxe release out into something interesting for all of us in the 'Socks and Sandals' crowd.

My introduction to this album was "The Early Beatles", which I bought in early 1975 (on the Apple label). That album was missing "I Saw Her...", "Misery" and "There's a Place" and did not want to get the VJ album for those tracks (inferior sound quality). I had no interest in "Meet the Beatles" either, since I was already familiar with the album as my brother played a borrowed copy of that LP constantly back in 1974. I eventually found a British import copy of "With The Beatles" at my record store in '78 or '79. Later, in '79, I saw a Japanese import of the Beatles #1 EP at the record store and snapped it up for the "I Saw Her..." and "Misery" tracks. A year later in 1980, the "Beatles Rarities" came out and "There's A Place" (along with "Misery") was finally available on a Capitol album. But I never picked up that LP. Fortunately, I still have those records I bought back in the 70's...

I couldn't get the song ISHST out of my head and so went to listen to the PLEASE PLEASE ME album, but I decided to order the vinyl of amazon instead and waited to listen to it til the needle hit the record... four years later and the rest is history. I own all their original 45s, all their LPs, most of their EPs and I've been steadily buying all their solo works on 7" and 12" having nearly completed their 70s catalogue aswell

I remember hearing the album as a kid. And, as a kid, you aren't that concerned with nuances of recording quality. Also, back in those days, there was no internet to compare and dissect these matters with like-minded audiophiles. This makes the Parlogram channel well worth putting in your subscription list. He goes through the stories with accuracy and fan reverance to the material. A great tribute to the anniversary.

Can’t wait for the introducing the Beatles video!! I live in the states so it’s always a joy to see you cover the albums that I’m familiar with over here. I’d love to see you make a video one day on the Beatles second album. Im interested to hear what you have to say about capitals extra reverb on that one…👀

Hi Andrew. I just thought you might be interested that I believe the first cover of a Beatles song was "Love Me Do" released in 1962 on The Cannon Record label EP005 by The Sparrows. Cannon Records, formed by Australian music entrepreneur Allan Crawford in April 1961, was to release 26 six-track EPs right up to September 1964. Whereas Embassy Records sold exclusively through Woolworth's chain of shops, Crawford targeted the nations petrol stations, newsagents and supermarkets (where they existed) for his sales outlets. Much like Embassy, Crawford was able to attract a high calibre of musician to deliver an authentic replica versions of the biggest hits of the day. I could send you photographs of this record if you would like them. By the way, the information about Cannon records is taken from my Brother's co-written book "Hit And Miss, The Story Of The John Barry Seven" (by Geoff Leonard and Pete Walker) published by Redcliffe Press Ltd.

Hi Andrew ! For 2nd generation U.S. Beatle fans in the 70s, our Please Please Me was Introducing The Beatles as there were many more copies at lower prices (bootlegs) around than the more expensive The Early Beatles by Capitol so as much as we love the original cover today, for many of us it’s the Vee Jay cover that triggers the nostalgia. Fantastic video as always !👍👍👍

My late big brother got a Japanese Apple reissue in 1981, it was the hard-panned stereo mix that we were all familiar with. But it was far and above better than the quazi-bootleg pressing of INTRODUCING THE BEATLES (purchased in 1975 at a department store) that we had prior to it. THE EARLY BEATLES wasn't even a contender, as far as we were concerned. We knew that Capitol had left off several tracks. So, when I got a decent tape deck of my own, I borrowed his Japanese Apple pressing and just mixed it mono myself. That held me until the CD came out. Thanks again Andrew.

Em 1992, minha vó comprou para mim a fita k7 do please please me , de 88. ME lembro que eu e minhas irmãs dançamos todas as faixas, mas, claramente, que twist and shout foi umas das faixas mais repetidas do disco. Não tenho mais a capa, mas a fita está guardada com muito carinho. Agora vou economizar um pouco para comprar a versão alemã, já que só tenho a versão mono de 1988 em lp. Seu canal é maravilhoso! parabéns!

Interesting that the second review mentions a track called 'Seventeen' which had been a recent Duffy Power* track but also 'Keep Your Hands Off My Baby' which would have been one of the tracks they recorded and performed at the BBC around this time. *Raymond Leslie Howard of Larry Parns related fame. There is a reference to both these in the Anthology Episode One video. "We're gonna' go down London and show that Larry Parnes what-for!" Power did record 'I Saw Her Standing There' in 1963

This is great Andrew, thanks! I had wondered why my ears thought that the Twist and Shout EP sounded so good, and wondered if it was my brain being tricked by the overall excitement of the songs and the sleeve. Also, as far as stereo, Introducing The Beatles sounds smoother and richer than the original UK cut to my ears, but Die Beatles is still the winner.

Hi Andrew. I've a few comments. You had mentioned that the '87 mono CD had phasing issues. Then said the US '87 mono LP was a decent sounding disc. I assumed that the '87 US vinyl was derived from the same '87 CD digital master,. I've listened to both and they both sound the same to my ears, and sounds quite good (compared to the other '87 mono CD's.). #2, I I have a copy of "Die Beatles" with the Hor-Zu/Electrola label and it too is an A-2/B-2 cut. Its a great pressing. One of my favorites is the late 70's purple Capitol press of "Twist And Shout" from Canada. Despite the label stating the ST prefix (designating stereo) my copy plays mono entirely. Can't wait to see your video on "Introducing The Beatles". The Vee_Jay story is complicated and here's hoping you can make some sense of it all. Cheers!

I like Duffy Powers version,,he did some really good stuff and worked with some great musicians, it's a bit hard to find his stuff but I have been meaning to look for a CD of all his material. I read an interesting book about John McLaughlin and his involvement in the jazz and RnB scene, that's what turned me onto Duffy, it's a great read, Bathed in Lightning by Colin Harper,it has a lot of info about people like Georgie Fame,Graham Bond, and Duffy Power and many more jazz and blues artists that frequented the London scene. I love all that stuff,I've been trying to get as much British jazz as I can reasonably afford and some I can't,lol. just love that whole era.

I really want this record, the stereo 63 pressing is what I would like the most. The more common ones of course because I know the gold label ones are super pricy. The only way I've hear this album is through KZitem and the only vinyl experience I have with it is Introducing The Beatles. But I actually love the early stereo Beatles songs. I think it's really cool how one side is vocal and the other is instrumental, it sounds really cool to my ears personally. Some people think it's cheap or odd sounding, but I don't, I think it even sounds cooler than your standard stereo mix from the 70's. I like songs where there's like drums, bass, and maybe another instrument on one channel, and then vocals with other instruments on the other. It's always done something to my ears that I really enjoy. I don't know, it's just a lot of fun. The only Beatles album that I like in mono is Revolver, I don't know why. Anyways, thanks for celebrating this album, hopefully I'll have a copy of this. I'm from the states, so North American releases are very common in the stores.
