Please Please Me LP

Album Details

Part of Capitol/Apple’s quintessential Beatles catalog masters series on LP, Please Please Me has been remastered from the original sources by a dedicated team of engineers that includes Guy Massey, Steve Rooke, and Sam Okell with Paul Hicks and Sean Magee. Proper care and a painstaking series of steps were taken to ensure that music lovers would hear the Fab Four in all their glory with premium clarity and transparency.

A document designed to capture the Beatles’ live energy of the time, and recorded in one 10-hour session, Please Please Me is built upon a combination of direct and ambient sounds gathered from group microphones. For the first time, you can detect the “leakage” encouraged to flow between microphones as well as the results of the close-miking techniques intended to tighten up the sound and yet, leave it loose—hence, the explosive vocals, partially a consequence of few microphone screens or baffles.
