Please Please Me (Anthology 1 version)

~ Recording by The Beatles

Annotation

No harmonica, and apparently Andy White drumming as on the other songs of this day.

Like the Love Me Do outtake, this copy of an otherwise lost recording was found in 1994- perhaps another disk George Martin took home? After this point, EMI started keeping master recording tapes by the Beatles.
