Free Music Notes for Please Please Me
Free Music Review: Excellent debut album!
Hit: 4 Stars
Geez, can't anyone hear McCartney's count-in that opens the first track, "I Saw Her Standing There"? It's "one...two...three...five!".
This album is bookended by two of the best rock'n'roll tracks ever recorded: "I Saw Her Standing There" showing the band in top form on a timeless McCartney classic, and "Twist and Shout", a cover which blows away the original and features Lennon in top vocal form, and one of the best rock vocals ever recorded.
In between is a mix of originals and cover tunes, including the excellent "Please Please Me". The Beatles were not going to be so bold as to release an album of all original material on their first outing. But we get a first glimpse of the Beatles, and they were very tight from the get-go, with excellent vocals throughout, both solo and harmony, George's excellent lead guitar, and Lennon's accomplished harmonica parts.
This did not even give us a hint of what was to come as they grew musically, honed their songwriting skills, and eventually gave up live performance to venture deeper into the possibilities of the recording studio. But taken on its own, it is an excellent debut album that shows a wide range, from wild rock'n'roll to mellow pop music.

My daughters and I very much enjoy this CD. We have every Beatle CD made, and this one brings us back to the voices of the early Beatles and how they sounded before Sgt Pepper and after. I love John's young voice singing "Anna" and "Misery"--I haven't heard these songs since I was 14.

Free Music Review: El comienzo de los Fab Four
Hit: 5 Stars
Despues de haber debutado en 1962 con los sencillos "Love me do" y a principios de 1963 con "Please, please me", The Beatles lanzan este magnifico primer disco titulado "Please please me". Con la mitad de los temas que son covers y otros de autor?a de Lennon y McCartney.
El primer tema que es "I saw her standing there", un tema puro rock and roll, cantado por Paul McCartney, luego la balada "Misery" que se destaca por su melancol?a y un piano que al parecer es de George Martin. Luego vienen tres covers: "Anna", "Chains" y "Boys", estas dos ultimas cantadas por George Harrison y Ringo Starr. Despues, viene los dos temas que fueron parte del segundo single del grupo: "Ask me why" y el eterno "Please, please me", esta ultima influenciado por Roy Orbison.
La segunda parte del disco, comienza con "Love me do", con una letra simple, pero efectiva, principalmente por la harmonica de John Lennon; esta version no es la versi?n single, y es tocado por un baterista de sesi?n llamado Andy White, y Ringo Starr en los panderos. "P.S. I love you", tambien cancion de amor simple, Paul dijo que se baso en una chica que ten?a los nombre iniciales "P.S."; este tema fue el lado B del single "Love me do" en 1962. Entre casi tema por medio entre covers y temas originales, siguen siendo excelentes como "Baby it's you", "A taste of honey". "Do you want to know a secret" uno de los pocos temas de la dupla compositora, cantado por George Harrison. "There's a place", un tema no muy menor, gracias a las harmon?as vocales y especie de secuela de "Love me do". Al final, "Twist and shout", un tema clasico de lo cu?l es imposible que nadie lo sepa.
Al final, este gran disco debut del cuarteto de Liverpool, mantiene esa linea hasta "Beatles for sale", ya que "Help!", aunque todavia estaban en la etapa beatlemaniaca, comenzaban a surgir nuevos estilos.
Free Music Review: Great Classic Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
Many people say this wasn't one of the best beatles albums, to that i say , right ok, whatever you say. This is a great album. The recording budget may have been cheaper than what the label would later spend and the recordings somewhat rushed to get an album out "while the beatles were still hot", but i listen a lot to this album, infact i listen to it more than Revolver and Sgt. Pepper.
This is a classic and along with "With The Beatles" probably gives a better insight to the early beatles than the red album ever could.

What a crime against art. The music is great, the cover is great, but the digital production stinks. Shame on EMI and George Martin for settling for this kind of sound quality.

10. Baby it's you 8/10
11. Do you want to know a secret 10/10
12. A taste of honey 9/10
13. There's a place 9/10
14. Twist and shout 10/10
What an amazing feat to record your first album in twelve hours. Though to be honest four of the songs (Love me do, P.S. I love you, Please, please me & Ask me why) had already been recorded and released.
This is obviously a 5 star album, but with such poor "digital" production it gets 1 star. So that looks like 3 stars.
