“Please Please Me” by The Beatles - album review
| features in: Album Chart of 1963 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
8 originals and 6 covers were presented on The Beatles debut record, showcasing the group’s ability to put a pop spin on an R n B template and remain credible. “Love Me Do” and “Please Please Me” had created such a buzz that the pressure for an album was intense. Both sides of the 2 singles were used, with an extra 10 tracks duly bashed out – all in a day’s work. It wasn’t a bad effort all considered, kinda like The Everly Brothers with an edge. The British record buying public thought it was even better than that, and proceeded to keep the album at Number One for an incredible 30 weeks…
