The Beatles. A conundrum. I remember my mam and dad had an early copy of Please Please Me, the album. I wish I'd got my hands on that while the divorce was going off! Only Beatles record I own is an original copy of the Blue Album, which bizarrely doesn't include this track, but does contain Octopus's Garden so that's alright then.
They were forced down our throats from a very young age and to be honest I got tired of them and cut them out for years and years. Only now am I starting to appreciate them again.
What I like about them these days is that they weren't afraid to experiment and try new stuff and techniques. This track has no traditional pop structure or format - no drums, no bass, no middle 8, and I have to say it's acemans.
Good pick HJ - there must be dozens of classic Beatles tracks that you could have picked but this one is out on it's own and stands the test of time almost 50 years later.
