    The Beatles - Please Please Me



    Please Please Me is the first album recorded by The Beatles, released on 22 March 1963 in the United Kingdom.
    Of the album's fourteen songs, eight were written by Lennon/McCartney, early evidence of what Rolling Stone Magazine later called "their invention of] the self-contained rock band, writing their own hits and playing their own instruments."
    In 2003, the magazine ranked the album number 39 on its list of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

    Rolling Stone also placed two songs from the album on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time: #139, "I Saw Her Standing There", and #184, "Please Please Me".

    According to the All Music Guide, "Decades after its release, the album still sounds fresh," the covers are "impressive" and the originals "astonishing."[4]

    Ah, the Beatles. The band that has inspired Bono so much. They were one of the greatest bands ever, and they really changed the music scene at their time.

    This is one of the first 4 albums I listened to by the Beatles. The CD is in Mono, just as people may have heard it 45 years ago. I also have this in stereo, but I like the mono version better.

    Cheers y'all
