There's just nobody out there doing what you do. This is the true encyclopedia of The Beatles.

When listening to "She Loves You" now, you can't help but feel as if you're the age you were when you first heard it.

Absolutely no danger of me having to "unhear" those edited segments as I simply cannot hear them no matter how many times I re-listen to them. 😂

"She loves you" Is the spark that lit up the world. I remember running with my mates in the school yard singing "Sie liebt dich Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! "🎉😂

A thunderingly brilliant record that often gets overlooked, probably due to its familiarity. I can only imagine what it was like to hear it for the first time in 1963. Then, as now, it sounds like nothing else. Wonderful!

It's not my favorite Beatles song, but it may be one of the greatest songs ever made. Sixty years later, it still full of energy and jumps out of the speakers.

Ringo's playing really makes this song for me.

This was my first 45, given to me by my parents for Christmas 1964. ( I was 8 years old) The family got its first record player at this time as well. Still have all my 45s and albums from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Thanks for your great channel....

"She Loves You" was the first Beatle song I heard on my aunt's black label Swan 45. The song's sound and energy made me play it over and over again. It hit me like an explosion and I became a Beatle fan for life.

I remember at the age of 8 early 1975 ( i turned 9 in the last quarter of the year) we had just moved house and going through my mother's records came across this single. After seeing Lennon-McCartney on the label i went and asked her is this the same as Paul McCartney ( i knew wings) she said it was and then running back to my room to play it and had my ears blown away i loved it. I then went through and picked out all the Beatles i could find and nicked them off her, all the early singles apart from the first 2 up till ticket to ride, also found a couple of billy j's Lennon-McCartney cover singles, great vid, role on November for the next single (and album story) thanks Andrew.

"Sie leib dich" is clearly a new recording. Its backing track is stronger and more confident, probably from having played the song many times. They were improving by leaps and bounds every month in this era.

You’ve outdone yourself, Andrew! I think this tops the “From Me To You” history video, which is one of my favorites. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeve for November with the history videos behind “With The Beatles” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand”! Get this man the beverage of his choice, he’s earned it!

I love when songs connect with other songs via the stories in their lyrics. I like to imagine that the "rolling stone" in the song "Baker Street" became the sailor that Brandy longs for in "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)".

It may come as a surprise to a lot of people who think that She Loves You is a simple little ditty, but the fact is that it uses all the notes available, either in the melody, chords, singing or George's guitar riff. And it uses them in the first half minute of the song. Most jazz records could not boast of this, and it goes to show just how clever The Beatles were from the very early days.

What a great episode! The history of this song, and the spectral vision of the audio edits was such a brilliant touch! Well done Andrew. Knocked my socks off!

She loves you and I want to hold your hand epitomise the early excitement of beatlemania. Brilliant pop singles. Still exciting to hear. Some very nice chord changes, nice fills from George, great driving drums from Ringo, and great vocals. Brilliant video as always, Andrew. Thanks for all you do 🙌

The first 45 I bought shortly after it came out in Britain.

23:40 I got the Apple 45 in 1978. Too bad I didn't get the Swan one; I wouldn't have dropped out. Anyway this was one of my faves when I was a 13 year old Beatlemaniac. But I know that John used to turn it off when it came on the radio. He was the most critical of the Beatles music after the fact, but at the time he said he didn't care about lyrics, only the sound. So the whole 3rd person thing isn't really a revelation. But yes, or should I say yeah, this was the quintessential Beatle song, but in the US it was I wanna hold your hand that was the breakthrough. I guess here we already said yeah, yeah, yeah, so it wasn't a big deal.

One of my favorite tunes from their early period. The energy is great and George's flips and fills are awesome, at least in my opinion. Dick Clark played the song on American Bandstand in September of 1963. He was a former part-owner of Swan Records, the label George Martin worked with to get the song released in the U.S. after Capital said thanks but no thanks to it. Clark was doing his buddies and former business partners a solid by previewing the number but it was also a bit of a trial balloon on his end. He was well aware of who the Beatles were and the splash they were making in Europe and he was always ready to buy a piece of a sure thing. Anyway, he played it and then had the kids rate it. They panned it and even laughed at the photo of the band in those God-awful collarless suits. But Clark knew better. That lukewarm response didn't keep him from investing in the group and he made more than his fair share of cash working with concert promoters and the like. I read somewhere George Harrison was especially pissed about that, calling Clark a grifter and worse. But hey, pin that on Brian Epstein who may have been an honest guy who did his best to look out after the bands best interests, but he was out of his depth in the cutthroat rough-and-tumble atmosphere of big-time show business. But like I say, it's a great tune in my books and it really was the song that took Beatlemania to the next level. Yeah, yeah, yeah became part of the lexicon, even finding its way into a script for Gilligan's Island. Thanks for posting this one. Cool backstory.

Considering that the edits must have been done with a knife and sticky tape, they are practically flawless!

Actually the "yéyés" was the name given to bands that sounded like the Beatles but sang in their native language. We talk about "les yéyés" in France and Québec and "los yéyés" in Spain.

This is the first time I’ve heard the edits, and my head almost exploded when I noticed them

She Loves You... It was quite a mystical-musical experience for me. I was 14 years old and it changed my life for the better.

You are the definitive, go-to beatles guru! Thank you so much for making these videos and adding so much to the Beatles community.

Can't believe this wasn't an instant hit here in the USA, the fact that George Martin had to go to Swan records to get it distributed in the States in mind boggling..She Loves You is a great tune.

There are so many songs by the greatest group in modern music history but this song She Loves You is one I always feel happy after listening to it. Early 1964 was a gloomy time in America which was still mourning the death of their young President John F Kennedy who was murdered in Dallas the previous November and People needed a little happiness and this song with the yeah yeah yeah in it gave many over two minutes of plain joy which may have helped some get out of their depression for a little while and for this reason I agree with Parlogram that this may be the Beatles greatest song.

i was 5 years old when 'she loves you' came out and even then i could feel the excitement it engendered in me and how special it sounded. That Cm oohh 😊

The Beatles will always remain an enigma in my opinion . Regardless of how much is written, and said by the band themselves , they’re still impossible to understand to a large degree . Many things seem to contradict what you once thought you knew . I’m seventy seven years old, hence I’m the exact demographic to witnessed what happened in the USA . I’m an upstate New Yorker, and I have a vivid recollection of seeing a picture in the newspaper in the area I lived . In that short article they had a picture of these four musicians in a band in England that were extremely popular in England . This must have been in early November 1963. Everything is rather blurry as our president got assassinated in late November 1963, and that was on everyone’s mind . With that said. This one or two paragraph story was one thing but it was the black, and white picture of the band that was mind boggling . As I was hanging out with the bohemian crowd when I was seventeen ,and we combed our hair down . The difference was the Beatles had - at this time - much longer hair combed down . I like everyone else that saw that article with the picture was curious why they were even written up in the paper in an American newspaper, after all we in the States invented Rock, and Roll. The curiosity didn’t diminish . We’re the English really on to something ? We new a few weeks or possibly a month later. I’ll never forget the campaign from Capitol Records was ubiquitous once “ I Want To Hold Your Hand “ was released . These guys were so avant garde for popular music ,no one had ever heard anything even remotely like this before . The B side of the single was of course “ I Saw Her Standing There “ with a 1,2,3,4 count in that no one could understand, heavy echo on the vocal , a fast moving bass line which was just a triad but worked to perfection in the song, and balls out lead vocal with harmony only on the bridge - sorry for my UK friends . The middle eight - . As great as She Loves You “ is “ I want to hold your hand “ was a much more inventive, and catchy song. That chromatic bit on the bass ,and guitar were beyond clever ,and musical . “She Loves You” was more musically complex but I W T H Y H just had that certain je ne sais quoi …

have several Beatles 45's , including " she loves you" which i purchased in nyc at my local Woolworth's store !👍

I loaded this video and settled in then my heart jumped out my chest! NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE there on the screen, my town, and an amazing story to boot! One of the most important pop songs ever being created in a tangible place I walk past every day! Blue plaque certainly needed. Knowing our cheeky Geordie ways something tells me one of the girls in the photo said to John “She loves you, ya know!” and the idea struck him. We’ll never know, but it came to me and seems a very real possibility

That voice....this is like David Attenborough narrating the history of The Beatles. BRAVO! 👏👏👏

This was fascinating! When my parents bought me the original UK 45 in 1963 (I was 6 years old), I'd never have guessed that 60 years later I'd be witnessing such a detailed examination of the recording! Thanks for putting so much effort into this episode.

You deliver every Sunday, how do you do it? The production value outshines everyone else who explores the Beatles. You're far above the rest!

Great video, Andrew! To my ears, an edit occurs at 1:28 (just before the word "because") which is where the EQ changes back. If you listen to the version on "Past Masters", either the 1988 version or the 2009 remaster, this is very evident. While there may be another edit at 1:31 (as evidenced by the "pop" in your sample), I don't hear it - or any of the edits during the guitar solos - on the digital versions, so I don't know if the remasters were cleaned up or whether the pops are there for some other reason. I had read somewhere, years ago (I thought it was in Lewisohn's "The Beatles Recording Sessions" book, but I don't see it there) that there were multiple edits in the song, but the only ones I'd ever heard were the ones at 1:23 and 1:31. Also to my ears, the "Pride can hurt you too" segment, with its different EQ, sounds "fresher" or "clearer" (particularly the cymbal) than the rest of the song, which creates another mystery: was it a performance correction, or an overdub, or some other reason to make the edit in the first place? One brief note on "I'll Get You": Given how many edits were apparently made to "She Loves You", it's intriguing that the lyric mistake in "I'll Get You" at 1:14 (one Beatle sings "make you mine" while another sings "change your mind") was not edited out or corrected. Perhaps it was because the song was only intended for the B-side of the single that it did not get greater attention. It's just another Beatles mystery (and one of the earliest "mistakes" that was left in the released recordings) that may never be solved, even with "de-mixing". Looking forward to future videos. Thanks again!

Thanks for doing a video on this landmark song Andrew! This is my all time favorite Beatles song. I know it’s a bold statement given their catalog but it’s really the song that made them my favorite band. I was in fourth grade when I heard on the radio and later on the Red album a few months later. It’s got such energy and is the perfect ending to the Beatles Second Album from Capitol. Take care

I'm not sure if it's been already mentioned, but since you asked our opinion on "Sie Liebt Dich", I believe the backing track was re-recorded for it. The primary reason for this is that at the end of the song, Ringo crashes the cymbals where he does not on the official single. so.. ".. Kann sie nur gluck....lich seiiiiiin. boom boom crash!, yeah yeah yeah, boom boom crash!" Listen for the crashes, then compare to the original single.

Hi Andrew - An excellent perfect song review, thanks. Memories, I was six years old when this song came out, and my elder brother and I was staying with my granddad, and as a typical Londoner he said to us kids “what's all that bangady, bangady music all abaaht? Whats all that yeah, yeah, yeah abahht ehh?” asking us kids as if we knew?

Saw them at the Las Vegas Hilton show room '86. Best I've ever seen and heard harmonically at one time. And I've seen the Best growing up in Vegas!!West Coast also. Blew me away!! R. Hill

The first time I listened to "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (in Indiana, January '64) after hearing all the hype, it impressed me. But when I then heard "She Loves You" on the radio, it GRABBED ME!!! You are providing a great service! FIRST CLASS research and presentations! I'm addicted!

Another great assessment. I was ten when this was first released in the UK and had been used to hearing all of their previous songs on my sister's Dansette record player but I heard this for the first time on my friend's family's stereogram. I was astonished and, similar to Ron Richard's reaction, I was out of my seat and couldn't keep still. The bass and drums sounded fantastic and I imagined I was in the Cavern! The Beatles wrote for their fans and not the critics and always got it spot on. Thanks.

I love how Dave Dexter routinely enjoyed throwing his company's money away.

Absolutely Brilliant! Also would like to mention that "Sie Leib Dich" by "Die Beatles" was issued in the U.S. on Swan # 4182. It even charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week, peaking at #97 on 6/27/64. I recall hearing that when Capitol found out about it's release, they took legal action to halt further production of the single. Apparently, Swan "assumed" their right to release "She Loves You" also extended to the German version. I need to listen back to my copy to confirm, but I'm assuming that Swan sourced the German Odeon single for their release.

Astonishing amount of research! It's well-known that the group was wildly successful before their introduction to the US and Canada on Sullivan's show. Those appearances started a phenomenon that has attained historical significance. Yeah.

On one of the radio programs called "The Lost Lennon Tapes" I heard one interview with John Lennon citing the inspiration for the 'Yeah Yeah Yeah" the single released by Elvis Presley on 1957 "All Shook Up" contained the Yeah Yeah Yeah which was the true inspiration.

I was 18 months old when the song was released. My Mum told me that at the time, I rocked back and forth in my chair and sang the "Yea, Yea, Yea section.

I heard the edits the first time it came on a single I got on swan records. Yes it is authentic. But on CD it stuck out like a sore thumb. The hi hat was very telling in the change in tone. Thanks to this and other things only I seemed to hear that lead me to becoming a recording engineer. Glad to know I was not just hearing things but the throwing away of the 2 track tapes was very near sighted. As always Andrew a pleasure.

Has anyone famous ever "covered" She Loves You"? It's a perfect pop song. No one touches it. Complete respect.

60 years ago! Gulp. I was three when it came out. Excellent as always!!

With every video, I see more and more people commenting and liking. Great job as always Andrew

I believe the 5th edit is noticeable on the Red Album (1962 - 1966) release from 1973. So the Merseybeat recording isn't the first place it appears. And I recall there being some scuttlebutt about that edit (and the other edits) being fixed when the song appeared on the Past Masters CD (or maybe later on the Red Album CD reissue); FUN FACT: when the British Invasion hit Canada it didn't go unnoticed in the mostly French-language music community in Quebec. Artists abandoned their instrumental surf music and had to bring in vocalists to catch the new wave of Brit-rock. Bands generally employed crooners who weren't adept at singing rock. They generally translated Beatles works (specifically) into French which were immediately added to French radio in Canada and France. It became its own genre known as the "Yeh Yeh" movement. It ran mostly from 1964 - 1967 and ultimately included songs by any British act like The Kinks, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Hollies, etc.

Fantastic video Andrew. You've outdone yourself...AGAIN!! My thoughts on the "Lost Studio Tapes" lies somewhere in the Beatles stay in France prior to coming to America in early 1964. Is it possible the tape was accidently wiped when recording the German version? Possibly when they started work on the recording of Cant Buy Me Love. By this time with the Beatles reaching enormous heights in popularity in the U K I find it hard to believe they could flat out "lose" the reel to reel tapes. Stolen? Perhaps. Recorded over? It's possible. RNB

This is why,Andrew,I chose to use my original Parli 45 for the Odeon singles set included in the Capiphone project.Its the smoothest source known.

I have all the early Beatles singles. My big sister bought them when they came out. In 1963 she was fifteen. I ‘inherited’ them from her.

A shout out to whomever it was that made all those amazingly good edits at the time with a blade and adhesive tape. I’m looking forward to a much cleaned-up version on the de-mixed album, but will never stop admiring the original.

Fascinating entertainment Andrew, as a retired recording engineer I had to get my good AKG headphones out to hear the edits, and you’ve got good ears, I heard them too. And I wondered what actually made those ‘pops’ My guess would be magnetised editing gear, except the engineers would have been meticulous with their maintenance. But there’s more :) She Loves You’ and ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ are both in the popular key of G major. The G major chord is one of the first chords beginner guitar players learn to play, and it's really easy-you just need three fingers, and Brian Epstein, George Martin and the engineers at Abbey Road. The most common key for Beatles songs is the key of G major. I counted 36 songs in that key. And people find that singing in the key of G major is relatively comfortable, as they don't require the singer to reach too high or too low in their vocal range. Thanks for your work.

When I was listening to the various edits I was actually very surprised at how good they were! Given the equipment of the day it took real talent to fix all those edits in place so they wouldn't be heard. Of course don't forget, when this song was released it was meant to be played as a 45rpm mono single on crappy mono record players of the day. No one then could have ever dreamed that 60 years later we'd be picking apart every edit digitally and analyzing them! Great job as always Andrew! It would be great to see your history lessons on other Beatles recordings!

I've always wondered why Please Please Me and From Me To You seemed have a better sound quality than She Loves You. You taught me why.

This brought back the memory of getting this on my first trip to Amoeba Music in Hollywood. It was one of the first 45s I ever got, on Red Vinyl with the Purple Capitol Label.

Just gone and listened really carefully to my original UK Parlophone single of this. Dashed if I can hear any editing at all. But I am more or less as old the Beatles (I was born in 1959) so I probably haven't got the hearing I need...

I have recently noticed that of the "first four" cd's, released (I think) in 1987, and all only in MONO. "A Hard Day's Night" is the only one that has been mastered from a stereo 2 track master tape. (meaning mono from a stereo master) I have listened to it , both L/R channels panned centre and then put one of them (doesn't matter which) out of phase, and all the whole album's tape edits can clearly be heard! I had to fiddle about with one of the channel's eq top to just trim out the centre, but it also shows what a terrible condition the whole tape is anyway, "popping" and "gargling" all the way through, except the gaps between each song. Very noticeable is the harmonica intro edits on "I Should've Known Better" in and then out a few seconds later. I tried the same thing with the only version I have of "She Loves You", but I no longer have vinyl 45's so only the version on "Past Masters", but clearly this has been mastered in mono (meaning mono from a mono master) as there are no crackles and pops when played out of phase. (same as the other first albums) This may have been changed on subsequent versions of "AHDN" Maybe you should try listening to your 45 of "She Loves You" out of phase and I'm pretty sure all those edits will be even clearer. .

That drum opening really lifts the song, not my favourite Beatles song but that bit is amazing ❤😊

Here, in Brazil, The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night has the Title: Os Reis do Iê, Iê, iê. Something like The Kings of Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. This expression became the name of a music style. Thank you, Andrew. You did a great job in this video, as usual, i might say it.

I've always noticed some odd pops on the 2009 remasters but never realized they were edits. Great analysis.

i like in all you need is love, where john says she loves you at the end

It was the first record I bought and I still have it.

Seeing The Beatles perform this on TV is my earliest memory.

Another superb indepth video Andrew! Thanks so much!

Once again, THANK YOU , Andrew. Loved it as always !

Interesting title, but after thinking about it for a minute I have to agree. While maybe not their greatest song released on a 45, She Loves You is probably the Beatles song best suited to the advantages of the 45 RMP format, and is the first Beatles song that comes to mind when I think “hit single.” Great video as always!

Once again, an unbeatable episode! Just great, fantastic.

Whether obscuring the splices in 'She Loves You' or adding "excitement" to the "dry" sound of 'I Feel Fine/She's a Woman', Dave Dexter, Jr. thought reverb was the answer.

Andrew, another informative upload! Awesome! Keep up the good work!

Born in mid 1960 She Loves You is the first Beatles song that I remember hearing if not on Sullivan than definitely on the radio till my mom bought the Beatles second album.

You’ve outdone it again, thanks for wonderful and highly detailed look back of 60 years. Oh dear I remember!!!

Another amazing video. Keep them coming! My favorite Beatles channel on KZfaq

The edits are superb. FABULOUS video, per usual. Cheers from Middletown, Pennsylvania, USA 😃

What an amazing video!! And what an amazing channel!! Regards, From Mexico to you.

The "Pride can hurt you too" edit is noticeable even for a toddler. The other ones, however, leave me really astonished as how someone without a machine could notice them 😅

Another informative video. Well done, handsome

Another amazing video Andrew! Thankyou

Thanks for a fabulous feature on this wonderful record. I have done a feature myself, not as good as yours but I do argue that it is the greatest 7 inch single of all time. I do not understand the technical joins you spoke of and therefore did not notice them. Sometimes it really pays to be thick.

Of all the original Beatles 45s that I have, She Loves You is the one that stands out for it's punch. The recent singles box set does a pretty decent job of replicating this but is still not as good as that 1963 disc. They used to say the perfect pop song was 3 minutes long but this really is the perfect pop song and it is only a shade over 2 minutes.

Amazing research! You never disappoint. Yeah Yeah Yeah!

Another great video !! Never knew about the edits! I’ve got they ‘Mersey Beat’ double album but not played it for a long time … will definitely check it out now

Thank you for another great video. So much info and so interesting. This is the true Beatles sound to me and one of my all time favorites. I've got an old Swan 45 of She Loves You. Would love a video with some info on the Swan records. 🙌🏻

Great video, especially with the details of all those edits! I'd always heard one or two but didn't realise there were far more. That Mersey Beat album was good, worthy of a CD release although I have managed to compile a digital version from downloads or other CDs, makes for some good listening.

Thank’s for going into the edits. I always suspected they were edits but now I know for sure.

Thanks for all the interesting information on this amazing song. Great work!

I've concluded that the Sie Liebt Dich backing track was a newly recorded one, because of subtle differences my musician's ears have picked up between the German language release and the English language release!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, although I always find myself wanting more records.

so, those are edits that I've been hearing for years. Andrew this was very informative and interesting. now if I could just find that Mersey Beat compilation.

Great video as always... just so happened I was recording she loves you, for my live show.😊

I bloody love this channel! FABulous! 😎👌🏼 Thank you! 🙏🏼😘

Thanks for the video. I purchased The mersey beat album when released and have not seen it anywhere until your video. thanks for sharing

A great explanation of how She Loves You was written, recorded and released, Andrew!

Another fascinating episode.Andrew. Many thanks. 🙂

Thanks Andrew, very interesting and comprehensive more than ever. 😊

Brilliant video Andrew. A lot of things I didn’t know. Truly fascinating!

Andrew, fantastic information as always. Thank you. Your content stands among the best in class.

Wonderfully interesting. I remember reading an article about those "She Loves You" edits in an early issue of "Record Collector", circa 1983. A change of EQ like the one at 1:23 to 1:31, but even more jarring, was done again years later when a bit of John's "Working Class Hero" from a different take was edited into the take used for the master.
