Beatles, The: Please Please Me (Vinyl LP)

Please Please Me is the debut album by The Beatles. Parlophone released this album on March 22nd, 1963 in Great Britain after the great success of the two singles “Please Please Me” (No.1 on most lists but only No. 2 on Record Retailer) and “Love Me Do” (No.17). That same year four pressings of this record were released and the LP remained at the top of the charts for 30 weeks.

Of the album’s fourteen songs, eight were written by Lennon–McCartney (originally credited “McCartney–Lennon”), early evidence of what Rolling Stone later called “[their invention of] the idea of the self-contained rock band, writing their own hits and playing their own instruments”.

In 2012, Please Please Me was voted 39th on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”.
