EP003 - Please Please Me

  • Summary

  • Peter and Kenyon explore "Please Please Me," the Beatles' inaugural chart-topping hit, in this episode. Initially written by John Lennon as a slow Roy Orbison-inspired ballad, producer George Martin's suggestion to quicken the tempo transformed it into a commercial success. The hosts delve into the recording intricacies, including the harmonica overdubs and synchronization challenges in the stereo mix. They also discuss how "Please Please Me" catapulted the Beatles to fame, notably through their first significant TV appearance arranged by publisher Dick James, setting the stage for their future dominance in the music industry.
