Story & Background
The legendary *Please Please Me*, for this 1965 Parlophone copy which attests to its continued presence on the market, boasts a recording history as epic as the music itself. Most of the tracks were recorded in a single, gruelling session of less than 13 hours, on 11 February 1963, at EMI Studios in Abbey Road. Producer George Martin, eager to capture the raw energy of their live performances, pushed them to the limit, trusting in their endurance. The Beatles, with John Lennon particularly afflicted by a severe cold which threatened his voice, delivered no fewer than ten tracks that day. The session culminated with the incredible performance of "Twist and Shout", recorded last in a single take. Lennon, despite his sore throat and exhaustion, unleashed unparalleled vocal power, giving the world one of the most iconic performances in rock history, which immortalised their unstoppable rise.
