Desirable pair of UK Parlophone red label 7-inch vinyl first pressings of the Beatles’ second single, ‘Please Please Me / Ask Me Why’ (45-R 4983), both signed on their respective A-side label in black ink by two members of the Beatles: “John Lennon” and “George Harrison”; and “Paul McCartney, xxx” and “Ringo Starr, xxx.” The consignor notes that the signatures date to early 1963 and were all obtained at the Cavern Club. Includes the original Parlophone record sleeves. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
Following the success of the single, ‘Please Please Me,’ which topped the NME singles chart upon its release on January 11, 1963, George Martin and the Beatles got to work on the band’s debut full-length album, which was strategically named after their recent hit song. The band recorded Please Please Me in one day at EMI Studios on February 11, 1963, and the album was released a month later on March 22, 1963. Although the record wasn’t released in the United States, Please Please Me earned positive reviews in Great Britain, where it remained in the Top 10 for over a year, a record for a debut album that stood for half a century.
