4 Lads from Liverpool Take Their First Step into World Domination
When rock n' roll emerged in the mid-1950s, it was a new sound that was sweeping all over the world. For a while, it seems like this new music would go on forever until the late 1950s/early 1960s. The death of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens in a plane crash along with Elvis Presley's draft to...

Please Please Me, and the rest as they say is History
Please Please Me (1963)
I wasn’t born until after The Beatles disbanded. I missed the magic and euphoria of their times. But such is their impressive catalogue of music that I never hesitate in naming them as my favorite band of all time. I got into their stuff backwards, from the last...

A display of potential...
Beatlemania was such a massive craze, perhaps the largest over a single group in the history of music. Girls were left fainting and screaming at the sight of the four Beatles. From the very start of their career, number one singles were popping up. These four British guys were experiencing fame at... Read full review »

Are you a Beatles fan? Are you a Beatles nut? Are you insane for The Beatles? No? Yes? Well, I am - I'm not sure if you noticed. One of the duties of being a Beatles fan, which should really be a non-existent duty, is defending...

Quite Pleasing, Indeed.
Being the somewhat deranged Beatlemaniac I am, whenever a Beatles record is up for an epinion, I have to restrain myself from latching onto the reader's throat and screaming, "Buy! Buy! Buy!" like an insane member of N*Sync. But, since I'm not an N*Sync fan, and I'm not supposed to be jamming your... Read full review »
"Ladies & Gentlemen, Here's John, Paul, George, & Ringo... THE BEATLES!"
When rock n? roll arrived in the mid-50s, it gave young teenagers a new form of music they can dance to aside from the old jazz and big-band music their parents were into in the previous decade. By the late 1950s, rock n? roll was popular in the U.S. with stars like Elvis Presley, Little...

The "British Invasion" begins
In the early 1960's, rock n' roll was in horrible shape. You had sweet little ballads that took more from early 1950s pop than "guts" rock pumped out by the likes of Elvis, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly et al (think of all that orchestration and false sentiment). You also had a lot of very... Read full review »
The most significant debut in history.
"One,two,three, faah!!!"
From Paul's exuberant countdown, you can feel the energy of this album.You hear four young guys excited to be making their first record. The boys brought every ounce of energy that they had from the Cavern Club days into the recording for this session,(which I think...

do you know what 12 bar blues is?
Like the title asked, do you know what 12 bar blues is? If not, it is the origanl for of blues, played simply with 4 cords on the guitar that just keep repeating, and someone someone would throw lyrics over the tune. This is exactly how the beatles started out playing. They could not read music at... Read full review »
1,2,3,4!!!!
Judging by the interest in the Beatles these days, it's hard to believe it's been 30 years since the band split up, and 20 years since John Lennon was murdered. With a new album, TV special, Book, and Website, these guys are busier than most bands that are still active in the industry.

A fun debut--that sounds like a debut
The Beatles debut is unfortunately one of the most overlooked debut records in history. It is often overlooked or snubbed because of these three reasons: 1) Please Please Me Did not break the band in America--With The Beatles did (it its Americanized form Meet the Beatles), therefore ensuring this...

My least favorite Beatles album
Please Please Me is the sound of Beatles who are unsure of themselves. It's the first Beatles album, and so it is excused to some degree, and it relies on the eight-originals-and-six-covers formula that characterized their early albums. But it's also the only Beatles album wherein some of the songs... Read full review »
"Whoa, yeah...!"
One session, that's all it took.
Some sources claim it went for 16 hours, others cite as little as 9. Either way, it's mind-numbing to realize that the Beatles recorded most of their debut album in about the same span of time it takes some of today's musical artists to tune their guitars...

Please Please me
A got to have for a Beatle fan. If you are a true Beatle fan you will love this. I am not talking about all the people that say they are Beatle fans but only like the later albums. This is the original album and it has a ton of hits. Hits like Twist and shout, please please me, Do you want to know... Read full review »
Beginning of the Legend
The story of the Beatles as a band has reached legendary status and thus fitting is the story of their debut. Recorded in haste as the Beatles rocketed to stardom with the hit single "Please, Please Me" this wonderful debut was recorded in a single day.
One of the most enduring and...

An inauspicious beginning
Listening to Please Please Me, it seems almost inconceivable that the same band who released this put out Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band just three years later. Three years! It takes me that long to get around to changing the oil in my car.
Okay, time to back up. As many of you...

"Tasting Much Sweeter Than Wine..."
What was it that made "Beatlemania" catch on? Was it the alien Liverpudlian accents? Was it the mop-top dos? Was it the matching suits or the goofy grins? Perhaps it was a combination of all these things. Knowing every one of the songs on Please Please Me by heart, I pulled it back out the other... Read full review »
Birth of the Beatles
Although "With The Beatles" was the first album released in the United States, "Please Please Me" was the first one they ever recorded. Today when groups go to the studio, they literally take months to produce an album, using the slickest recording equipment in existence. It is important to realize... Read full review »
