[@darrylmata4025]

Another pattern for all future early Beatle albums was also established that day. John got a majority of the lead vocals. John had been nursing a very sore throat all day, sucking on throat lozenges and drinking glasses of milk to get him through what must have been a very painful day.

Me too. It's just overflowing with energy and enthusiasm. By the way, can you hear the squeaky bass drum pedal?

🌀 Rare fact: Throughout the album (except on I Saw Her Standing There) the Höfner bass guitar A-string is slightly out of tune (A=432 Hz). 🤔🙂

Another interesting video, thanks. I didn't get a copy of this L.P. until 1980, the year I turned 13 and still have the same copy. You're right about it not charting straight away: released March 22nd, it hit number one in the UK w/c May 11th, for 30 weeks, then being replaced by With The Beatles, w/c December 7th. Interesting about The Shadows; when Please P!ease Me hit #1, it replaced the 'Summer Holiday' soundtrack by Cliff & The Shadows (#1, 14 weeks) and before that, The Shadows 'Out Of The Shadows' (#1, 2 weeks). My 17 year-old son bought a 1963 mono copy last year too. Timeless band. Keep up the brilliant, informative videos. Thanks.

[@BewareofDarkness44]

Another fun fact about this album is the Beatles had to use their own instruments for recording, and you can hear Ringo's kick drum pedal squeaking on a few tracks. For me it's most notable on "Anna (Go to Him)".

I love your work on these videos! Thanks for doing these they have become some of my favorites. Also, I know how you feel about being kind of lost in the shuffle amongst all of the music out there. After doing music for over 40 years I have only one song that did anything and that was not much of a much. A lot of my early stuff has never seen the light of day. I hope to change that by getting it on Spotify along with my new stuff that's up there already. Still, if I can convince a few people to give it a chance that's good enough. Good luck with your music....Keep playing and keep doing these great videos!!

[@YvonTripper]

I saw on a BBC documentary that they didn’t intentionally save Twist and Shout for last. It was actually that they had decided to drop one of the songs they tried to record that day (I think “Hold Me Tight”) and so had to come up with another song to replace it. On a break, one of the EMI staff mentioned how he liked their rendition of “La Bamba” that he had heard them play on the radio. George said, “You mean, Twist and Shout?” and based on that short discussion they added it to the end of the recording session.

Having so many "streams" counts for NOTHING! Having the physical record there in your hands, reading the label and noting every detail of it, seeing that big 45 in the top-right portion of the the black Parlophone label and the catalogue number under it, seeing the publishing credit printed there on the left of the label with the matrix number under it and the "Recording First Published...." year-date, and then seeing below the punch-out optional centre, the song title with your name as composer in brackets, then your name as performer in bolder print under that, with the copyright warning around the edge beginning with "The Parlophone Co. Ltd All Rights of... and that Made In Gt.Britain at the bottom of the label, NOW THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING!!! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HAVING THE TANGIBLE PRODUCT RIGHT THERE IN YOUR HANDS!

What made the Beatles rock Gods, was the fact that they used their own material as for others of that time were still doing cover songs.

[@Bruce15485]

Yes, The Shadows were the biggest group in the UK before the Beatles. The Shadows were a fantastic instrumental group featuring Hank Marvin on lead guitar. However, The Shadows focus was on instrumentals tracks which eventually limited their appeal in face of the British invasion bands. It was not until the late 60s that they really concentrated on vocal tracks.

[@terryday6734]

Another interesting fact, regarding the lack of time & money. It relates to Ask Me Why on the album. Quote : "The Beatles production was too tight to allow for 2nd thoughts. Even 'dropping in' to erase a small mistake (such as the guitar fluff at 1.26)". A quote from the book, Revolution In The Head, by Ian Macdonald. You can hear the "fluff", made by George, on both the album & single. Such a thing would be unthinkable nowadays, with digital recording/editing facilities, even on the tightest of budgets.

[@trev85]

[@gustory1186]

I really enjoy your album. I can't really explain what it is about it. Perhaps somewhat of a style I enjoy but there's also something more about it. Good job.

[@hersonlamolli3317]

I still got their original LP and 45 rpm. And have original John & Yoko two inch foto, with words Peace John and Yoko. 1972.

[@PaulinaAngel]

Another fact: in that marathon session, 11 songs were put to tape, but one didn’t make the final cut, which is an early version of Hold Me Tight. The song was re-record a couple of months later for the With The Beatles album, but that early version has never surfaced due to the fact that according to Mark Lewisohn, the master tape was either taped over or destroyed.
