Please Please Me is the first album recorded by The Beatles, rush-released on March 22, 1963 in the United Kingdom to capitalize on the success of singles “Please Please Me” (#2) and “Love Me Do” (#17). Of the album’s fourteen songs, eight were written by Lennon/McCartney, early evidence of what Rolling Stone later called “invention of the self-contained rock band, writing their own hits and playing their own instruments.”. The album was released by Parlophone in mono (catalogue number PMC 1202) and stereo (PCS 3042.)
