Their First # 1 in England. Their first # 1 in the US was I Want to Hold Your Hand...not quite a year later. This was written mainly by John & was up tempo at George Martins suggestion. He was right & said to them " boys you've just made your first #1!"
my very FAVE early beatles song----john wanting to be roy orbison, with the BIG high note at the end of the chorus----"please, PLEEEASE me, oh yeah, like i please u".....rocking, epic stuff in 1963/1964....great reaction
You're correct in that songs were comparatively short in the day because the radio won't play anything too long. That said, this song's length of about two minutes is shorter than most others. I've always considered this song to be the big song for the album as opposed to Love Me Do, even though Love Me Do came out first. They probably had Please Please Me with Love Me Do on the cover because they're the two that had been released as singles in the UK and thus best known.
According to Paul, this song was written primarily by John. This is an early example of Beatles word play. There had been a Bing Crosby song called "Please" and part of the lyrics were "Please listen to my pleas" which they'd heard and realized you could play with words. In this case, they took it to a (ahem) sexual nature - the second "please" means "have sex with" so it becomes "please have sex with me" (cheeky boys). The song was originally much slower, with Paul describing it as "(Roy) Orbison-esque". When they played it for George Martin, he suggested they speed it up, which they didn't want to do at first, but he convinced them that if they didn't like it, they didn't have to use it. After recording it, George Martin told them he thought this would be their first hit and he was correct.
They made the whole album in less than 10 hours, and they did it live in the studio. They were so musically composed that they did what no one or very few did before and after them.
"Please Please Me" (the LP) wasn't released in the USA until MANY years later. Many of the same songs were on the USA album "Introducing... The Beatles" And, what kept "Introducing... The Beatles" from going #1 was the USA album "Meet the Beatles" which did go to #1
Sort of the same thing with the Please Please Me single. It was released on Vee-Jay records, a minor label, in 1963 but did not chart until 1964, after the Beatles were on Sulivan. It went to number 3, stopped by She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand.
MEET THE BEATLES ( which had most of the song that were on the UK "WITH THE BEATLES" lp) was the FIRST album released in the US by Capitol records, VEE JAY records released "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" which was essentially the UK PLEASE PLEASE ME album, at the same time as "MEET THE BEATLES" The UK album with the TITLE and COVER of "PLEASE PLEASE ME" was never released in the U.S. until they albums were released on CD in the '90s. The CAPITOL U.S. albums in order as they came out were 1) MEET THE BEATLES. 1964...2) THE BEATLES SECOND ALBUM. 1964...3) A HARD DAY'S NIGHT. 1964...4) SOMETHING NEW. 1964...5) BEATLES '65 . late 1964... 6) THE EARLY BEATLES .. 1965... 7) BEATLES VI. 1965.... 8) HELP! 1965.... 9) RUBBER SOUL 1965... 10) YESTERDAY AND TODAY 1966.... 11) REVOLVER 1966.... 12) HEY JUDE in 1970. THE REST of the U.S. BEATLES albums from "SGT. PEPPER" until their breakup were IDENTICAL to the UK releases in their cover art and track listing.
The ENERGY! -- one of the greatest recordings ever. And definitely written with Roy Orbison in mind. When they finished this, George Martin said, "This is your first #1." And it was.
Artists hot in the 60's - The Beach Boys, The Temptations ,Mary Wells, Peter Paul & Mary, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, The Supremes... just to name a few 💜
i dont know, but i do know that for a spell they had like 8 of the top-ten spots for a while, maybe all ten, i can't remember exactly----i dont think it happened again, but for a while, when they were brand new, they held a bunch of the top positions.....for weeks , or a month or something, idk

For 63/64 this is akin to RUSH, with all the time changes, Pre chorus , Chorus.
This is way ahead of its time.

This album was number 1 in the UK in '63, I believe it was then replaced at number 1 by their next album, With the Beatles, I could be wrong though
Correct, # 1 for 30 weeks, replaced by With the Beatles which was # 1 for 21 weeks.
"Please Please Me" (the LP) wasn't released in the USA until MANY years later. Many of the same songs were on the USA album "Introducing... The Beatles"

One of my favorite Beatles songs. Thanks for the review!

ALL of them were on the radio in the US.
Paul was trying to write a Roy Orbison song when he came up with this one.
Mostly John's song.
@@dannygriffith6185 Not according to Paul.
- "There! I said it again" by Bobby Vinton was no. 1 on the US charts when this came out overseas in 1964.
- PPM reached no. 1 in the UK.

The four seasons, dion & the belmonts they were big at the time
Hey D.J...purple is your color. And grandpa don't look too bad in that shade of blue. Who's wife dressed y'all today? 💜💜💙💙
I was a freshman when this came out
The highest note in this is Paul. The lowest is the bass. Everything else happens in between those two.
What's funny is Paul is playing the bass 😂.

Elvis was making music all along. But he was intimidated by "The Beatles".
First #1 song from their first #1 album. Elvis was still around but faded into irrelevancy. Cheesy movies with lame songs.
