Reviews & comments
Dark Horse (2006, February 1)
The best, most inspired two minutes and four seconds of pure, energetic, melodic rock n roll ever put onto tape and transferred to disc! Over 43 years after it was written and recorded, "Please Please Me" still stands up and will for many decades to come. The b-side, "From Me To You", while going along for the ride, is a very nice tune although more simplistic than the a-side star of the show.
