THE REVIEW
"Please Please Me", producer George Martin, record label Parlophone, topping global charts: the record-breaking album.
From this year, March 23 1963 (release date), Rock And Roll, music, history, are no longer the same. While it might not be the best production in the history of music, it is certainly the most revolutionary.
Produced by Martin, "Please Please Me" was recorded in just 15 hours. The LP album contains a total of 14 tracks, including 8 originals—an absolute novelty for this musical era, especially in Europe, where albums until now consisted of 12 tracks, 6 per side.
For the first time, an English band achieves global success, a feat previously accomplished only by great American bands and singer-songwriters.
The Beatles make their mark on the history of music.
I Saw Her Standing There, Misery, Ask Me Why, Please Please Me, Love Me Do, P.S. I Love You, Do You Want To Know a Secret, There's a Place. These are the 8 songs written by Lennon-McCartney. An exciting collection of Rock And Roll and Beat tracks that highlights the compositional genius of these two young musicians. Even the 6 cover songs proposed do not lack beauty and originality, especially: Anna (Go To Him), by Arthur Alexander, and Twist And Shout composed by Medley/Russell, which incredibly enrich the album, thanks to the band's ability to stamp their unique sound into all the songs, even if covers.
The 4 beetles prove to be, definitively, a complete band, original and at times brilliant though still lacking experience. However, this quartet has the traits to become one of the greatest bands in music history.
This is the beginning of a new chapter in history called The Beatles.

"One, two, three, four" and off they go with 'I Saw Her Standing There', the rock’n’roll that the fathers of rock’n’roll had never been able to write.
‘Twist And Shout’ became so renowned in this version that it made people forget it was also a cover.

"'Please Please Me' is an album for the young, played like by a school band, full of youthful urges and simple rock 'n' roll."
"It's an immature work, full of covers, and no song can be considered a masterpiece."
By DDQ
The Beatles came like an earthquake to shake up the minds and butts of every young person in Albion.
Regardless of musical taste, this record is a true piece of History that should definitely be listened to at least once in a lifetime.
