March 22, 1963.........

PLEASE PLEASE ME is released...........

According to NME, March 8th 1963: "Things are beginning to move for the Beatles, the r-and-b styled British group. The disc �Please Please Me� follows closely on the heels of their first hit �Love Me Do� written by group members John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It looks like a bright future for the Beatles, but knowing them I don�t think they�ll let it go to their heads."

As recalled by George Martin "Please Please Me was done in a day - we started at 10 o'clock in the morning finished at 11 at night, and that was the record made."

WOW - It seems like "yesterday". No pun intended.

I just got back from the Beatlemaniacs of the Villages meeting. We discussed the album and played all of the songs from it. I t was recorded on Feb in that marathon session. Nine hours and forty five minutes excluding the breaks and it was released in England on March 16, 1963

Here's a trivia question for you. when was the album, Please Please Me released in the United States?
