The last track in "PLEASE PLEASE ME" is "Twist and Shout" the only cover song by The Beatles to become a million-selling single in the U.S. and is often cited as having one of the most famous single vocal takes in rock history.

Written by Phil Medley and Bert Berns (initially credited as Bert Russell), the song was inspired by Afro-Cuban rhythms and the "twist" dance craze.- The original recording, produced by Phil Spector, failed to chart. Berns was reportedly dissatisfied with the arrangement, calling it "dreadful".
Berns produced a new version for the Isley Brothers, adding the iconic "aah-aah-aah" vocal build-up. This version became a hit, reaching #17 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Beatles recorded their version during a marathon 10-hour session for their debut album, Please Please Me.
"Larynx-Tearer": Producer George Martin saved the song for the very end of the session, knowing the shouting would likely destroy John Lennon’s voice.
Suffering from a severe cold, Lennon performed the lead vocal in just one take, stripped to the waist and fueled by milk and throat lozenges. A second take was attempted but abandoned because Lennon could no longer sing.

For years, Lennon felt "bitterly ashamed" of the performance because he felt his voice sounded shredded, though he later came to appreciate its raw energy.

In the Royal Variety Performance (Nov 1963), Lennon famously introduced the song to the royal family by saying, "Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry".

In April 1964, the song reached #2 in the US during the historic week when The Beatles held all top five spots on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song enjoyed a massive comeback after being featured in the films Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Back to School, returning it to the Billboard Top 40 over 20 years after its release.

Today's track on the LP "PLEASE PLEASE ME" is "There's a Place" a landmark song in The Beatles' catalog, primarily recognized as John Lennon's first major foray into introspective, "cerebral" songwriting.- The song was co-written by Lennon and Paul McCartney at McCartney’s childhood home on Forthlin Road in early February 1963.

Unlike the era's standard "boy-meets-girl" pop, the "place" described in the lyrics is the human mind rather than a physical location. McCartney noted that while other songs were about "a kiss and a cuddle," this track was intended to be more intellectual.

The title phrase was inspired by the song "Somewhere" ("There's a place for us") from the West Side Story soundtrack, which McCartney owned.
Lennon described the song as his attempt at a "Motown, black thing," specifically drawing from the vocal styles of groups like The Marvelettes (notably their song "I Want a Guy").

It was the first song recorded during the legendary 12-hour session on February 11, 1963, at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road) for their debut album, Please Please Me.
The band recorded 13 takes in total.

Lennon overdubbed the characteristic harmonica part later that afternoon despite suffering from a heavy cold.
The track features a distinctive two-part vocal harmony, with Lennon taking the lower melody and McCartney the high harmony.

UK: Released March 22, 1963, as the penultimate track on the Please Please Me LP.
US: First appeared on the Vee-Jay album Introducing... The Beatles (July 1963) and later as the B-side to "Twist and Shout" in 1964.

Critics and historians often cite "There's a Place" as a precursor to Lennon's later, more complex works like "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "In My Life". It established his recurring theme of finding sanctuary in thoughts and dreams as a way to handle life's sorrows.

The 12th track in the LP "PLEASE PLEASE ME" is "A Taste of Honey" is a cover of a popular 1960s standard, originally written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow.
The song was originally an instrumental written for the 1960 Broadway version of the play A Taste of Honey.

The Beatles' version was inspired by American singer Lenny Welch's 1962 recording, which was the first vocal version the group heard. They adopted Welch’s arrangement, including its distinctive transition into double-time during the bridge.

It was a staple of their live performances in Hamburg and at the Cavern Club in 1962 and 1963. Paul McCartney often chose it to show the band's versatility and appeal to older audiences.

The Beatles recorded the song on February 11, 1963, at Abbey Road Studios as part of the marathon session for their debut album.- It is notable for being the only song on the Please Please Me album to feature double-tracked lead vocals, an effect McCartney used during the bridge sections.

The track appeared on their debut UK album, Please Please Me (March 1963), and later on the US album Introducing... The Beatles (January 1964).

Paul McCartney: The song was a personal favorite of his, and he once described it as one of his "big numbers" during their Hamburg days.
John Lennon: Lennon reportedly disliked the song, famously mockingly referring to it as "A Waste of Money".
Legacy: In 1967, McCartney was inspired to write the song "Your Mother Should Know" after seeing a line in the 1961 film adaptation of the original A Taste of Honey play.
