The Beatles 3rd single was their first undisputed number 1 single in the UK and truly marked the beginning of Beatlemania. In this video we document that record's history from it being written on the tour bus, to the recording and mixing sessions and hear what song from Rubber Soul nearly replaced it. We look into the confusion surrounding the McCartney/Lennon credit and also cover the recent discoveries of live shows recorded a week before the single's release. We also find out why the song flopped in the U.S. and of course tell you what we think it the best sounding pressing. All that and more in this packed video!

I find these videos a little oasis of calm in a mad, stressful world. They are some of the best Beatles videos on KZbin, hands down, I always look forward to watching them on Sunday afternoon.

[@Parlogram]

Wow, thanks, Jongo!

[@jasonwhiton174]

Agreed!

[@raymonddauphinais]

Superb

[@Freidlon7]

Please don’t mention Oasis in connection with the Beatles

[@yesman2755]

It’s hard to pin down how great these early Beatles singles were. The combination of the boys with George Martin was something that will never be equalled. Listen to any pop record from 1963 and nothing, absolutely nothing comes close. And on top of that it still sounds fresh and new today, 60 years on. Nothing short of a miracle. Good work Andrew.

[@Mr._MatchIt]

I actually loved the version without the harmonica bit at the start. It’s creates a great rise of interest when you finally hear it during the bridge of the song.

[@paulreckamp7502]

I cannot recall people I grew up with, girls I dated, or significant events, but I can still sing and hear in my head, 'From Me to You' from memory. One of my favorites.

[@ustheserfs]

as familiar as your morning routine

[@argusfleibeit1165]

Agree-- the built in record player many of us have is such a blessing. And they tell us musical memory is the last to go, so at least there's that to look forward to.

[@fredstone5647]

Saw the boys perform live in 1965, Minneapolis, with my almost 14 year old ears. Gig lasted about 30-35 minutes; do that today and the place would riot. Your in-depth knowledge and attention to the slightest minutia is impressive. It's truly mind-boggling what you've produced and how you've presented the history of this group's recording career. Thank you for the time invested to showcase the band that really did change the music world with their collective genius.

[@Parlogram]

Thanks for watching and sharing your story, Fred.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Yes, and with the Beatles, if you did any longer than 35 minutes, there would be a riot too....

[@magneto7930]

I had to wait for the 1962-1966 compilation to finally own From Me to You. I briefly heard it on the radio over the years so I did become somewhat familiar with it. Believe me, saving my allowance for anything Beatle-related was always more than worth it to me. They brought a lot of joy to my childhood. Once again, thank you for another great upload!

[@Parlogram]

Thanks for watching!

[@allanf8578]

A bit of that What Goes On ... thank you so much!

[@Parlogram]

You're welcome, Allan.

[@IsaacWale2004]

Great song that often gets overlooked by fans - I don't listen to it much, but every time I do, I love it. (provided it's the mono version)

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

Your videos always make me reassess records we've taken for granted and takes me back in those times, comparing the Beatles to the other music of those days, and making me realize anew how revolutionary and fresh they sounded.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Always a thumbs up from me, brother! Just when I think I know everything about The Beatles and their music, I learn something new and interesting! I'm soooo excited to see a "Help!" Album/single/movie installment 😁 (Hint hint 😉)

[@KB-jz5rk]

Thank you Andrew for that bit of the What Goes On demo. What an amazing glimpse into Beatles history.

[@briteness]

Delightful, as always. Thank You Girl is such a great song. For me, the ending, where they do the "oh oh oh" bits, with Ringo's fills, then the harmonica blasts, gets me every time. It's the kind of excitement that I think I am supposed to feel with the "yeah yeah yeah"s at the end of She Loves You but really never do. The song captures perfectly for me that early Beatles energy that electrified the world.

[@billleary5779]

Thanks for the back story on this classic. It’s always been a favorite of mine especially having first been familiar with the Beatles with the Red album. Always felt this track was short changed in Beatles history. Thanks for sharing Andrew

[@Parlogram]

You're welcome, Bill!

[@SoloSi2024]

Always been my favourite Beatles song. It was mainly John's voice that made them stars in the early days.

[@JorgeGomez-zm9qr]

I agree with you. Lennon's voice was so thrilling... McCa and Harrison voices are very besutiful too but John's had something special

[@thomastimlin1724]

@@JorgeGomez-zm9qr John had the "edge," more bluesy and gritty, which complimented Paul's sweeter voice [although he could get gritty on Little Richard type stuff and in later years, it was just the Beatles' vocal formula]. And George had a low key approach to his vocals and was a great harmonizer in the middle of the chord in three part harmony. Ringo was just Ringo, singing just to have fun kind of approach, never pretended to be a anything more, yet some critics even today always picked on him for his vocals, to what purpose other than to be mean and feel important than they really are...

[@radiocameron]

By far the best Beatles channel on KZbin! Always look forward to your new vids!

[@Parlogram]

Thanks you! Glad you like them.

[@winstonoreggae6332]

GREAT, GREAT VIDEO AGAIN! This channel must exist forever, it brings such joy to us Beatles fanatics. Thank you!

[@Borella309]

Andrew's work is fast becoming the Holy Grail of all Beatle channels - I seriously think I'll need to be mildly sedated before the "She Loves You" deep dive appears!

[@Parlogram]

Thank you kindly, Sir!

[@TigerRogers0660]

Thanks again for the story on this song Andrew! While not one of my fave early 45s, it still has a place in The Beatles history! I bought "1962 - 1966" when it first came out & i agree this is a crystal clear mix of the song.

[@michaelcarpenter2498]

The minor chorus is wjat always intrigued me about this song. And after this it was just two track tape until 4 track tape came in for "i want to hold your hand." I think the difficulty of getting the synch for the mono mix could be a reason the stereo did not have the harmonica. That or they forgot to put it on or ran out of time. So now we are left with it. Yhe mono and stereo mix are both great. Thanks Andrew.

[@mars7934]

Interesting info about the songwriting credit. I always wondered why it began Lennon-McCartney on the LMD 45 but then switched to McCartney-Lennon for the next two singles and the Please Please Me LP (which of course includes Love Me Do and PS I Love You) then switched back again with SLY. I seem to recall The Fourmosts cover of Hello Little Girl from early 63 is also credited to McCartney-Lennon! I'll have to dig it out but I'm sure it is. Great video and info as always. Sundays are not the same without Parlogram! You da man!

[@francoispedro3694]

😮 I'd never paid attention to the lack of harmonica on the intro. Actualy, I own a stereo version from the german "Beatles Beat" 70's reissue (my very first Beatles album, when I was 13, back in 1977) and I thought, because of the reverb, it came from Dave Dexter's kitchen (?). I have the 45 mono English reissue from 1976 where the harmo appears. I've never noticed that difference for more than 45 years... These documentarys are so precise. And Ringo's weird intro on From me to you is not a mystery, anymore. You really made it 👍

[@tonythepostman]

What a joy you are! Brilliant!

[@Withcare11]

I watch all your videos. This one I only managed to get halfway through. Thankfully, it popped up again and I finished it. Congratulations on picking the most appropriate title for this deep dive into the song that bridged the gap between British success and global pandemonium.

[@Parlogram]

Thanks for going all the way, Richard!

[@nickelias5321]

Hi Andrew, Yes, I agree that the best stereo is on the original UK 62-66 but for Thank You Girl, it’s the Dexterized Second Album version that I grew up with that remains my favorite hands down. Oh yeah, and the 2019 45 is terrific. Great video as always !

[@Parlogram]

Thanks Nick. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Cove-o4d]

I prefer the mono version of Thank You Girl. The EP that I have that contains the song has McCartney-Lennon credit on all four songs. Even Love Me Do and Please Please Me have that credit. The Dexterized Second Album does not.

[@dennydowling2169]

As I was a young teenager in the 1960s, I have always been a huge fan of The Beatles. I recall hearing 'From Me to You' only occasionally on the radio at that time, but I was always excited to hear it. Our family had no record player in1964, so the radio was the only way for us to hear popular music at that time. By the time we got a small console stereo in early 1965, (after much begging to our parents), this song was no longer available in the places where I could buy records (mostly now-defunct chain department stores.) I finally got a copy of this song when I purchased 'The Beatles 1962-1966' compilation album in 1973.

[@Parlogram]

Great times, Denny. Thanks for watching!

[@antoniodalfonso]

thank you, Andrew, for this instructive video, and for explaining at last that McCartney-Lennon Lennon-McCartney enigma!!! Finally!!! thank you ❤

[@Cove-o4d]

I have noticed the McCartney-Lennon credit for years, which was a mini-phase the Beatles went through.

[@JudyMora-oq2rb]

My birthday is March 14 , 55 , so I was 7 right when From Me To You was being finished . I lived in So California , so WE All grooved to From Me To You, even as a 7 yr old little girl, I knew all the words, I listened to KMET 94.7 . The Beatles inspired me to sing , to hear harmonies, I could recognize each Beatle’s voice ,( at 7 old !) and to this day I still LOVE them all ( especially Paul) and I watched Ed Sullivan , and yes I screamed at both movies , I’m a fan forever ! Xxxooo

[@PilgrimFL]

I was excited to find this single on VJ for 49¢ US in a bargain bin. Of course I cherish this purchase.

[@intelligencelimited2708]

Really enjoyed that. George H (in dismissive mode) said he could point at every Fabs single and say which prior song 'inspired' it and I always think this tune is modelled on Johnny Angel by Shelley Fabares. Not melodically, but structurally. Same C to Am dum dada opening hook, C Am F G verse and same entry to the middle 8 with Gm!! Which is then followed by C F D...it's a bit of a coincidence if it isn't deliberate. Also the year is right-1962, and they would been familiar with it. Thank you for your time.

[@davidhigginbotham5451]

From Me to You is the penultimate early Beatles masterpiece. Years ago I played my original 45 over and over and over simply because I admired the 'middle 8' so much. BTW.... this is among your finest videos.

[@Parlogram]

Thank you, David!

[@johncarsell1205]

The stereo mix of Thank You Girl without Dave Dexter Jr's 'special sauce' didn't see an official release until 46 years later in 2009.

[@michaeldeutscher9167]

Another great video Andrew with plenty of information. I to hope the Stowes School concert will be released in full with improved quality. Maybe someday.

[@Parlogram]

I hope so too, Michael!

[@mattgaskell945]

Great video as always, Andrew. I bought From Me To You when the 20th anniversary single came out in the U.K. in 1983. Still have it. What a joyous sound they made. Remember they tweaked it as ‘From us to you’ on the BBC radio shows.

[@Parlogram]

Thanks Matt. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Beatletoon]

Absolutely brilliant, as usual!

[@Parlogram]

Thank you, Mitchell!

[@calebwright6151]

Another fine video Andrew. From Me To You was at number 1 when I was born on the 4th May so it has a special place in my heart. It’s great to have such a brilliant song at the top at that time. If I was born 10 years later it would have been Tie A Yellow Ribbon by Tony Orlando & Dawn.

[@Parlogram]

Glad you enjoyed it, Caleb!

[@mez5590]

Wow, great job as usual. None of this mattered as a young kid but now as a life long musician myself I find it fascinating. All I knew then was one had harp and the other didn’t. Keep up the great work!

[@Parlogram]

Thanks Mez. Will do!

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Thanks once more! I've noticed most all of these things about both songs (mixes, etc.) but over time I've thought I was the only one that ever noticed, or cared, that much. Glad to know that, #1 - I'm not alone, and #2 - I'm not crazy!! So, since nobody asked - my favorite version of "From Me To You" and "Thank You Girl" are the full-on harmonica versions, in mono. Including the harmonica in the middle eight, call-and-answer part ("..way that you do," etc.) of of "Thank You Girl." In fact, Dexter's reverb suits TYG quite well, making it sound more like a "production" than just a "demo," in my opinion anyway.

[@nicknikipediacaulkin5943]

A fascinating video, Andrew, explaining how From Me to You was written, recorded and released. I really enjoy these in depth videos where you explain the origin and recording of a particular Beatles song and the best pressings to look out for. Another splendid presentation!

[@Parlogram]

Thanks again Nick. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@moondogaudiojones1146]

Wow! Did not realize all of the stories behind From Me To You. Really brilliantly told and the bit of the music really sinks what you do into reality. Let’s hope that live recording makes it out soon! Well done Andrew!!

[@MarkmanOTW]

Excellent! Fascinating insights there, Andrew. To think 'From Me to You' was released the week after I was released into the World, and alongside Mr J Lennon junior. 🎉

[@Parlogram]

Thanks Mark!

[@markzutkoff1800]

Fun video, Andrew! As someone who prefers the stereo mixes to the mono ones (even with the separation the way it is), I was not aware of the drum phasing on the "From Me To You" intro until this video, and I probably won't be able to hear it again without thinking of it. I do wish you could have explained why the harmonica overdubs on "Thank You Girl" were omitted from the UK mono mix but present on the stereo, when it's the opposite way on "From Me To You" (which you did explain). Your explanation for the fold-down of the tracks on “The Beatles’ Second Album” is interesting, but I wonder if Dave Dexter, Jr. applied his “special sauce” only on the stereo mix AFTER the fold-down occurred; check out the mono “Roll Over Beethoven” to see that it’s much closer to the UK mono mixes, omitting the extra reverb in the intro. The quick picture of the American “1962-1966” flyer indicating from what albums the songs came from is fascinating, because it lists “Help!” as the album source for “From Me To You”. This, of course, was not the case; someone must have confused the instrumental track “From Me To You Fantasy”, by Ken Thorne and only BASED on the melody from “From Me To You”, on the “Help!” album, with the single title. Not sure I like the sound of the needle hitting the fairly-worn record you used as separators; it only reminded me why I dislike vinyl so much! Sorry!

[@RingoStarr39]

From what I can gather based on Lewisohn's book and the limited amount of audio from the harmonica overdub session, John's harmonica parts were recorded over multiple takes for each time it shows up in the song. For the mono mix they decided to not use the harmonica during the middle eight or the very last notes. For whatever reason, for the stereo mix made the same day they decided to use all of the harmonica parts.

[@TonyTN16]

This is absolutely fab! I love facts about their recordings. This should be on prime-time TV. Many thx

[@ricknbacker5626]

The two Gm bridges (being the 5th of the songs tonic key of C) are slightly different. The first one is sang in unison whilst the second one is sang in two part harmony. This newly discovered 'bridge' song writing technique by John and Paul would be used again on the song I Want To Hold Your Hand. Right down to using the minor 5th (this time a Dm to the songs tonic key of G) and staggered unison then harmony vocals. FWIW, I refer to any non verse/chorus parts that are repeated in a song a bridge. Where as an example of a middle 8 would be the middle section of Thank You Girl' "Thank you girl for loving me the way that you do..." as it only appears once in the song. Loving the 60 year anniversary series Andrew. Thank you sir, RNB

[@Parlogram]

[@Mr.-J-2024]

Excellent video Andrew. Thank you. I remember as a kid, in my excitement of purchasing the U.S. Help! LP (and not reading the track listing too carefully), that I would finally get "From Me To You" in my collection. Assuming that the Help! LP would be similar in format to the United Artist's A Hard Day's Night LP (a mixture of Beatle's tracks and soundtrack music), I still remember my disappointment when I played it and discovered it was "From Me To You Fantasy" instrumental... LOL. As you mentioned, I never got From Me To You until the 1962-1966 compilation. Really enjoyed this, and thank you for putting in some real snippets. Another great video. :- )

[@Parlogram]

Thanks again. Glad you enjoyed it, Sir.

[@mgconlan]

Thanks for letting me know why there's so much more harmonica on the U.S. version on "The Beatles' Second Album" than on the U.K. version. I'd always assumed someone ink the U.S. added that as a dub.

[@joelcrowservo]

Great episode, sir! I particularly enjoyed the almost “magazine” format of this one. And thank you so much for answering my question of Delta versions and “She Loves You!”. I’m really wondering how you’re going to explain the controversial amount of edits. But that’s still ahead of us! Thank you for your hard work; I really look forward to spending time with you every Sunday. In a streaming sense, anyway. 😊

[@Parlogram]

Thanks David. Much appreciated!

[@bobsoldrecords1503]

The 'edits' on She Loves You are tape dropouts. They're completely unheard on both Parlophone & Swan originals. The first place anyone published anything about supposed edits was a review of Past Masters 1 in Stereophile magazine. Now, seemingly everyone accepts it as fact, although it clearly isn't

[@joelcrowservo]

@@bobsoldrecords1503 that’s an interesting theory although I would have to disagree to an extent. There is a whole section that is clearly a different take due to the difference in Ringos hi-hat sound. I also feel like I remember someone talking about the tape on the edit points being redone at some point. There’s clearly a lot going on with this tape we may never know and plenty of mastering oddities (for instance, a whistle is clearly heard at one point on the Capitol master, and pretty inaudible on others. The whistle is important because we know what that means in a Beatles session). It’s all very interesting though and I think everyone is open to all ideas and information!

[@davidclark2618]

Another great, informative video. I've read that the first issue of the stereo version came on the June 1965 German Odeon SMO 83 991 LP "The Beatles Greatest". Anyone else read this? This of course precedes "A Beatles Collection of Oldies" by 1 1/2 years.

[@jasonwhiton174]

Hi from Hollywood, Andrew! I first heard “From Me To You” on a trip to Chicago in the 1960’s. It was my Instant Favorite on that very first listen. Why it took so long to get to an album is a mystery to me. But it reinforces my lifelong opinion that RECORD COMPANIES HAVE NEVER KNOWN WHAT THEY’RE DOING!

[@kenq1363]

I’m so happy you make these videos

[@timfisher5925]

Fabulous video as always and great to hear the performance for EMI on April 5th a real find, when did this turn up? excellent quality. The content you put out is superb so thank you Andrew. A few ideas for future video consideration if I may? The fan club items, discs, letters, all posters, binders etc? The export singles with discographies? The contract pressing singles, EPs and LPs? and the infamous Penny Lane Strawberry Fields picture sleeve. There are some things to clarify about this single. Roughly one in three Parlophone symbols on the back of the cover are green not black why is this and what values do they have as a result? It is said 250,000 covers were printed which most collectors think is too high, I have a theory they did print 250,000 but I think they used some for European pressings particularly in Scandinavia so quite a lot left the UK making it scarcer than 250,000 copies in the UK. Lastly some are solid centre copies some are push out, a dealer once told me that the solid centre copies were the ones that came with the picture sleeves and push out centres came with company sleeves? I have seen copies with both is this simply EMI using up sleeves/pressings as these ran out? Or is it just random? Thanks again Andrew best wishes Tim

I too think that From Me To You was overlooked. On CD we have only one stereo source: Past Masters issued on 2009. I wonder why they didn't put the stereo mix on the reissue of the red album. At least they corected the stereo of All My Loving. Great video, Andrew!

[@noahbody9747]

The demo recording of What Goes On sounds light years ahead of the official release on Rubber Soul. Sounds more country than the official release. BTW, you mentioned they released Love Me Do instead of How Do You Do It. I believe it was a revamped version of Please Please Me released instead of How Do You Do It (unless I misheard, in which case my mistake). I also like the early versions of One After 909. Sounded more bluesy than the release version. Always love your videos informant and fun. Thanks!

Thanks yet again for another fab Beatle deep dive, Andrew. I love the look of those EMI 'Top Pop' company sleeves. I don't think I've ever seen one by any EMI artist, let alone the Beatles. Gra's Beatle memory for this week's episode: : I had to go on a weekend Wolf Cub camping trip in deepest South West Surrey from a Friday evening to Sunday teatime in June '63. It was probably either Jun 14-16 or June 21-23. I was almost eleven, but I didn't want to go as I felt I was being cheated out of my weekend and camping has never really been my thing. Anyway, it was actually okay with some pleasant weather, good company and lots of activities (including climbing the towerl at Leith Hill). The 'From Me To You' connection was that all of we Wolf Cubs kept singing snippets of the song all weekend, especially the slowed-down coda, until we all almost became sick to death of it. Back then, pop songs seldom were on the radio and many of us had no radio and owned very few records, so that was quite a good group achievement😀. Thanks again for educating, informing and entertaining all we Beatlemaniacs.

In Germany the song FROM ME TO YOU was published in June 1965 on the album THE BEATLES' GREATEST (Stereo only). In fact FROM ME TO YOU was not a "great" hit in Germany at this time. The other songs on this album had been much more popular. Anyway, this video is really "great". Thanks!

Hola, en 1964 se editó en Uruguay un LP que contenía temas de los simples de The Beatles , justamente se llamó Para ti ( la traducción al castellano de "From me to you"), fue un disco muy popular en los años 60 s y tuvo varias reediciones con diferentes carátulas. Las grabaciones fueron tomadas de los discos simples y suenan muy bien. A mediados de los 80s aún se seguía fabricando en pequeñas cantidades pero los master "madres" se habían deteriorado y se mandó a realizar un nuevo corte de acetato al estudio de grabación local (Sondor), dicha grabación resultó de inferior calidad sonora en relación a la primera (que había sido cortado en estudios ION de Argentina).

Gracias por esta información. ¡Los mejores deseos desde Austria!

Some love for "Thank You Girl": I first heard it on the cassette version of THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM where it ended the disc---much more satisfyingly than "She Loves You" originally did, IMHO. Capitol gave it echo and reverb, which makes it sound more exciting than the (sorry!) flat version on PAST MASTERS. Along with "I'll Be Back," "TYG" is one of my favourite early Fab tunes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good video Andrew. I never knew about the harmonica intro to From Me to you had a echo on the drums at the start on the 45, you can't unhear it now and that it is a different mix on LPs how very interesting. I have noticed the writing credit on that single as McCartney-Lennon too. I have a copy of the The Beatles Hits EP from 1963 and notice that both Love Me Do and Please Please Me on that EP both state as McCartney-Lennon not the other way round. In your video Love Me Do was Lennon first on the original 45. I suppose the EP was released before She Loves You as the agreement was McCartney was first. Who knows?

Yes, it's all a bit of a mystery!
