My mum bought this album on cassette in 1994, when I was 11. I hadn't heard of The Beatles before. I loved this song most of all...I loved this amazing voice. I begged my mum to let me play the tapes on my walkman and eventually she let me take them. So now in 2011...my ipod is full of Beatle albums, I've seen Paul and Ringo in concert, my shelves have far too many Beatle books, dvds, and mags. I became a fan thanks to this song...and I still have my mum's cassettes :)
Just to enter the "covers" debate: everybody played covers in then ,that was your job as a "dance hall" band: no DJ's .BUT there was zero equipment so you're playing through steam powered amps with strings 6 months old; if you're lucky you get a PA. Also, no one in Britain could record the sound of American records then,' when sound engineers all wore white coats. Beatles did very accurate covers and managed to be R'n'R band doing MTV unplugged every gig.To make that work nuff respect.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
covering other artists that's what the beatles had been doing for years before they became "famous" actually they were pretty mediocre at that - poor singing and poor playing - that's the reason they were not signed by Decca
@pinchold This reads like a clever troll attempt, but i'll bite.
Why do you use inverted commas when describing The Beatles as famous? They WERE famous, whether you like it or not. This is a very well documented and publicised fact.
So you think they were mediocre, and had poor singing and playing? Fair enough, many others thought the same. There are millions of people like me, however, who completely disagree. That's the thing with music, it's subjective, and not to all tastes.
@LordLampost BIGTIME troll action. Poor singing and poor playing? I could accept the criticism of the playing on some tracks- but singing? Seriously? I am assuming that our troll here means to say that in their early attempts to get signed to a label, none of the producers who heard them thought much. That's actually true. That they performed dozens of different artitsts' material is well-known. But it's what they went on to do...
@pinchold I think you'll find they weren't mediocre at it. Twist and Shout is one of their best known numbers and they didn't write it, it's just a cover. They became famous by coming through the flourishing merseybeat scene and were better than all the other bands because they had the ability to take all these rythm and blues songs and make them better than the original. And Decca didn't sign them because, according to them, "guitar music was on the way out". You may stand corrected.
@MAGICO240 I think they were all capable of singing well but none had the vocal range Paul had.John's voice always sounded the same unless he was screaming.Writing talent in my opinion is hard to calculate because of the small amount of George's material that reached the albums.Based on the songs we're provided with its obvious that John was far more imaginative and Paul was a storyteller, However 75% of my faves Paul sings lead vocal.
That voice is recognizable the world over and anywhere. 1980 was such a shame, I would gladly do the same to Mr. Chapman as he did to John Lennon. And would sleep well at night. Not a second thought. No more than exterminating a cock roach.
It was the staff at the music store. I explained my sad story of losing it moving house and they said it could be hard to get now. But on looking it up on the database and making about 3 phone calls for me they said how lucky I was as there were 8 left in the country. Please bear in mind that cassettes do deteriorate with time and obviously CDs (with TLC) will last indefinately.
Actually, CDs won't last indefinitely, and have a lifespan like any other media - especially if there were any mistakes made during the pressing. What's probably more important, however, is having a CD player that will still be working in a few decades! Take good care of your music equipment so your kids can enjoy it too.
I believe most of the the tracks from the live at the BBC double disc are from a BBC weekly radio program called 'Pop go the Beatles". I indeed had this double disc but it got lost when I moved house last year. I've had separation anxiety ever since!!
@mssusan1961 I remember getting my copy fifteen years ago. It was the first Beatles album I ever owned. I can imagine how you feel. If you look on eBay, there might be a copy in new and unused condition.
@sapphiretaurus Yes I bought it when it was released in '94. But by no means the first album/CD. Growing up I bought all the LPs (which I still have in mint condish), then bought all the digitally remastered CDs. I was lucky enough to be able to order another one at my local record store. (CD store still doesn't sound the same!). Luckily for me I could order one as there were only 8 left in Australia. Yes eBay would have been the next choice but I think everyones hanging on to theirs. I will be!
@mssusan1961 I got them on cassette first. I haven't gotten around to getting any on CD. I also feel strange using the term "CD store." Record store sounds more friendly! Only 8 were left in Australia? How did you find that out? You're right. No one in their right mind would part with theirs.
This recording emphasises another important aspect of The Beatles. as well as being superb song-writers in their own right, they were able to cover other people's material and make it their own. 'Twist & Shout', 'Please Mr Postman', 'Money' etc.
@6diddy6 And they were choice obscure tracks too. They weren't easily found in record shops of the day back then, although i did hear Barrett Strong's "Money" on Londo label (i think) in 1960. Other than that track, I first heard Motown via The Beatles versions & they created an interest. within me They must've done the same for millions of others as well.
It very true.. Lennon's voice did deteriorate after '68. Most of his '70s vocals sucked!! It wasn't till his "comeback" in 1980 that he actually TRIED!! In 1963-66 you couldn't toch him!!
@andrewcasarsa I was about 14 when "Starting Over" came out and didn't appreciate it as I do today. John seemed to be going for that particular 50's sound. The rest of Double Fantasy is great too!
@beatleboy71 I disagree. Based one what I have read, John changed his composing style. His 'different' voice may be because of his 'different' style of music.
In addition, by '68, 'rock' music had an 'edge'. Heavy metal was beginning.
I think we all have to agree that John's voice kicked ass in the early days. Its really one the legendary rock n roll voices. Like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly
I like the Beatles as much as anyone on this post, but the original version of this song, by Little Eva, was better. Their re-makes were better than the original about 3 times out of 4.
I totally agree, but think it amazing that a group from Liverpool at that time could even do such a good job of a cover. All of their covers were accurate; they had really done their homework on their musical sources. Check out Lennon's jukebox on you tube, they loved this stuff( me too!)
The Beatles vastly improved "Please Mr Postman", giving it its due urgency. I also heard the original "Devil In Her (His) Heart" and they greatly improved that too.
Someone here said the Beatles' version of "Chains" wasn't so great, but I always loved it. They also did a nice job on "Anna". The only thing they couldn't better was "Baby It's You", and I'm not sure they did "Bad Boy" better than Larry Williams. But they matched up pretty well with the masters, Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
Great tune - wouldn't have broken my heart if they'd re-recorded this for the Please Please Me album, and given the heave-ho to "Chains"... or "A Taste of Honey" or "Twist and Shout." Ok, maybe not Twist and Shout :-)
I still rate "Please Please Me" as my personal favorite of all The Beatles' albums, maybe because they were so fresh and young then, plus it is an excellent mix of covers and original material.
Thank you. Some bands from the era didn't make such hot LPs, but Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders sure put out a first-rate debut. The album is on fire.
It is worth picking up. Excellent choice of material, including another great girl group cover, "She's Got the Power" (which should have been the followup single; they performed it on "Hullaballoo"). The band rocks and Fontana and the boys are very versatile vocally. Fine LP.
The reason the sound quality isn't so good is that the BBC either threw out or taped over a lot of their master tapes. That's right. They didn't save the master tapes in a vault. This is ,at the very least, a third generation copy. Hence the bad sound. It's sad that the BBC didn't think of the importance of these tapes for future consideration. But, better to have this than nothing at all.
yeah, I only just started to play the guitar, but I'm getting better, and the only reason I'm learning is so i can play Beatles songs with my friends/// =]
Oh my gosh!!! I didnt know anybody else would like to live in that generation too. I know exactly what you are talking about. That would be so awesome. And I think our generation today really needs to get their act together, love not hate,be themselves, and apperatiate music. Anybody agree?
Don't pay any attention to people who don't have an appreciation for good music (like this), they wouldn't know what it sounded like if it smashed a guitar over their heads.
This song is soooooo good, I love it! I heard it a couple of days ago, I'm still running around singing it! I think I've annyoed pretty much anyone I know by either singing it to them in person, or calling them up... BEATLES FOREVER
I like the early stuff more, but lots of the later stuff is BRILLIANT!
This song just has such a great beat and melody!! I feel like dancing/..
Am I the only 14 year oold listening to the Beatles these days??
It didn't matter if the Beatles were writing their own songs or covering those of others; everytime they opened their mouths to sing it was beautiful.
The debut album by Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, containing their excellent version of "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby", is one of the BEST British Invasion albums of all, packed with great tunes. Worth seeking out.
Overproduced? You don't know what you're saying. The production on their album was very basic. It sounds like you haven't even heard it. Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders' debut LP is widely hailed as a great album. They were an excellent band. So what if they didn't last long, they rocked like mad. The Beatles weren't the only good British band.
it's so ironic that the rest of the live recordings on this collection are of such good sound quality and this one sounds like it was recorded off the radio by a cheap microphone. great song but a disappointing recording of it.
Yes, I believe this one was salvaged from a direct recording of the radio broadcast on someone's radio, which was unfortunately not of great quality. Still a great song though.
It just goes to show that it's the performance that's most imoportant, not necessarily the sound quality. Paul's bass playing truly is awesome!! Thanks for posting this. Take this brother, may it serve you well....
I don't know about that, but Paul's bass playing is wonderful! Listen to the bass line. I love that. Also, Paul and George's backing vocal. Superb. I love 'Live at the BBC.'
No he wasn't in the anthology he's continually complimenting his drum sound on Tomorrow Never Knows. I think it's idiotic how people say Ringo suck...I mean of course he's not as good as alot of newer drummers its called progression. Ringo was there before Neil Peart and John Bonham. It's ridiculous to try and compare him.
The Beatles are GODs!!!!!!! We need to spread this music around the Middle East like it's a wildfire. Maybe it would curb some of the violence. I'd place my bets on it. All you have to do is just believe!!! It would be like Beatlemania taken to the next level. Please help spread the word.

Oh my gosh!!! I didnt know anybody else would like to live in that generation too. I know exactly what you are talking about. That would be so awesome. And I think our generation today really needs to get their act together, love not hate,be themselves, and apperatiate music. Anybody agree?

Don't pay any attention to people who don't have an appreciation for good music (like this), they wouldn't know what it sounded like if it smashed a guitar over their heads.

This song is soooooo good, I love it! I heard it a couple of days ago, I'm still running around singing it! I think I've annyoed pretty much anyone I know by either singing it to them in person, or calling them up... BEATLES FOREVER
I like the early stuff more, but lots of the later stuff is BRILLIANT!
This song just has such a great beat and melody!! I feel like dancing/..
Am I the only 14 year oold listening to the Beatles these days??

I think it's great that The Beatles appeal to all ages. I liked them from when I was young too.
For a 14 year old, you type way better than many adults on YouTube. :)

It didn't matter if the Beatles were writing their own songs or covering those of others; everytime they opened their mouths to sing it was beautiful.

Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders did it nicely on the 'Game of Love' album.
mrmaticuluos 4 years ago
The debut album by Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, containing their excellent version of "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby", is one of the BEST British Invasion albums of all, packed with great tunes. Worth seeking out.
moorlock2003 2 years ago
Too much schlock IMO. Way overproduced. Not at all genuine like these lads.
SumnerMurrayRedstone 2 years ago
Overproduced? You don't know what you're saying. The production on their album was very basic. It sounds like you haven't even heard it. Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders' debut LP is widely hailed as a great album. They were an excellent band. So what if they didn't last long, they rocked like mad. The Beatles weren't the only good British band.
moorlock2003 2 years ago
@moorlock2003 no The Beatles were NOT the ONLY good British band, but they were the BEST!!!

it's so ironic that the rest of the live recordings on this collection are of such good sound quality and this one sounds like it was recorded off the radio by a cheap microphone. great song but a disappointing recording of it.
jeffkahl 4 years ago
Yes, I believe this one was salvaged from a direct recording of the radio broadcast on someone's radio, which was unfortunately not of great quality. Still a great song though.
LordLampost 4 years ago
It just goes to show that it's the performance that's most imoportant, not necessarily the sound quality. Paul's bass playing truly is awesome!! Thanks for posting this. Take this brother, may it serve you well....

Ringo's drumming is really poor in this lol, especially at the second break.
langbry 4 years ago
I don't know about that, but Paul's bass playing is wonderful! Listen to the bass line. I love that. Also, Paul and George's backing vocal. Superb. I love 'Live at the BBC.'

Ringo's drumming is good in every beatles song
blutocampbell 4 years ago 4
Give me a break. Ringo was the first one to admit that he wasn't that good. But he had a unique sound, which worked in the Beatles.
langbry 4 years ago
No he wasn't in the anthology he's continually complimenting his drum sound on Tomorrow Never Knows. I think it's idiotic how people say Ringo suck...I mean of course he's not as good as alot of newer drummers its called progression. Ringo was there before Neil Peart and John Bonham. It's ridiculous to try and compare him.

The Beatles are GODs!!!!!!! We need to spread this music around the Middle East like it's a wildfire. Maybe it would curb some of the violence. I'd place my bets on it. All you have to do is just believe!!! It would be like Beatlemania taken to the next level. Please help spread the word.
