JAKARTA - On March 22, 1963, the Beatles debut album Please Please Me was released. The album was a success with the single Please Please Me and Love Me Do' in the United Kingdom. Most of the songs from the album were released in the United States (US) in 1964 by the label Vee-Jay Records.
Please Please Me marked a pivotal moment in The Beatles' career. Their debut album moved the wheels that would take them to the pinnacle of public recognition, creating the template for so much rock and pop since then.
Citing The Beatles' website, ten of the album's 14 songs were recorded in just one day, namely on February 11, 1963. While the other four songs were recorded in 1962 after forming the B-side of their debut release.
The previously released song Love Me Do was chosen to be included on the album Please Please Me. The song also appeared on subsequent EPs and was still the number one single in the US in 1964.
The song Please Please Me showed Paul McCartney and John Lennon's songwriting partnership development. From Love Me Do to There a Place to I Saw Her Standing There, the collaborations have been very productive. The duo continued to produce works until Let It Be in 1970.
For the debut album, the work was rushed, and only had a budget of four hundred pounds to make the album. The recording was completed in one day, with shirtless John Lennon making himself hoarse as he went through two voting sessions for Twist and Shout.
Paul McCartney later recalled. "In the end, you have the album".
The iconic front cover photo was taken at the EMI Limited Building at 20 Manchester Square in London's West End in early 1963 by Angus McBean. EMI remained in the building until 1995 before moving to West London with the famous balcony railing.
Given that the British album charts at that time tended to be dominated by more 'mature' tastes such as film soundtracks and easy listening vocalists, it is surprising that Please Please Me hit the top of the charts in May 1963. The position lasted 30 weeks before being replaced by With The Beatles.
Please Please Me did not receive an official US release until 1987 but Introducing The Beatles which was released in early 1964 on the Vee-Jay label and The Early Beatles which was released by Capitol Records the following year did contain many songs from British releases.
BBC noted that the closeness that brought the songs on this album was irresistible. Lennon's vocals on the climax of Twist and Shout are perhaps the loosest element of the entire record.
The footage which is essentially 'live play' features the group with their feet still very much in clubs and theater, real performances. The way The Beatles composed composition was relatively simple; effective, but nevertheless black and white, playing exclusively with recognized powers.
