13:11 NO, the Beatles *did not* finish out the year performing gigs around the UK. They had a contractual obligation to do another series of concerts in Hamburg, so they reluctantly returned there to finish out the year starting on December 18.. This fact is pretty well known.
Pete Best did not fulfill other gig obligations after he was dismissed from The Beatles. It should be also noted George Martin did not like Ringo's attempt at Love Me Do and brought in Andy White ( a session drummer ) to make that initial recording.
Brian Epstein never managed The Beatles without the group first signing a contract. As Brian well knew the initial contract was not legal since neither Paul or George were 21 in ‘62. This contract was later rewritten and compensated Brian fairly with the fathers of the underage Beatles signing the postage stamps. George Martin did not sign The Beatles to a recording contract, did not see them as viable commercially and was not even initially present during their initial recording session. EMI publisher Thomas Humphrey Tilling wanted the royalties of Beatle originals and forced Martin to record them according to Mark Lewisohn. Martin never liked “Love Me Do” and was set on issuing “How Do You Do It” but for reasons not exactly clear the Lennon/McCartney track was released instead. Initially, Martin didn’t like “Please Please Me” either. George Martin did not discover The Beatles, Brian Epstein did.
George Martin wanted to be their first single, but they stood their ground and told Martin they didn’t want to release it. Martin knew it would be a hit, but instead they released Love Me Do as their first single. Please Please Me was later
Very enjoyable video, and well-done! Wow - 9:41. "Dot miscarries." Can you imagine...the son of Paul. He'd be like Julian - famous at birth, for better or worse, and absolulely set for life. Not to be. It's James! FABS4EVER!
Awesome video! 👍 Would also love to see some coverage of Nirvana, more about the Doors, and maybe some Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd? Yes, I know I'm very demanding, haha. 🤷🏻♂️
In fairness to Decca, Paul wore flip flops on his feet in the studio that day, and they told them, "Flip flops are out". Little did Decca know that Brian sold flip flops at the back of his record store, and Liverpool was never the same! Meanwhile, back to Dots for a high heel affair!
3:24 Technically, "My Bonnie" was NOT their first official (or otherwise) single, because it was a Tony Sheridan single with the guys playing behind him. So technically, you are wrong.
I've always hated "Love Me Do". George Martin was right - it's a plodding, banal bit of tripe. "Please, Please Me" is light years better. "From Me To You" is also quite a catchy number. Dunno why the Beatles were so insistent on releasing "Love Me Do" as their first single.
Nice video,, you know about the Stu brain injury rumours John beat the shit into him one night kicking him in the head,,on the pavement trying to kill him this was hushed up,,,Paul said he didn't remember the incident
That rumor is completely false and made up. Stu was beaten up in January 1961 (after their first trip to Hamburg). John and Pete Best came to his rescue and fought off the attackers but Stu refused medical health and the headaches continued until his passing.

Ringo played on album version
@@matthewashman1406 The original single version is Ringo, but the version on the album is Andy White.
lol I just imagine him watching this video getting flashbacks and screaming at nobody “I am not a horrible drummer I’m okay!”
George Martin wanted How Do You Do It instead of Please Please Me.
Thanks I’ve been waiting for a long time keep up the awesome work 😊
since 62
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
I had no idea Paul almost had a child in 62.
crazy how he had one in 2003 aswell
Those guys were dropping raw dawg loads left and right. It's a miracle there were not dozens of children.
They didn’t refuse to record How Do You Do It. They did record it but did not like it. Please Please Me was better

Holy cow I didn’t know Paul almost had his first child that same year just as John did. Big what if in Beatles history

Prove it.

What is the first single then?

Actually they ended the year playing in Hamburg, not in the UK
Youre right.
I don't think they'll ever amount to anything.
Just ‘63 and ‘64 left 😉
And '65
And 65 thru 70 before the official end
The Decca audition was rubbish. Ringo changed everything 🥁
The ol' rags to riches story.
"Rags" only really applied to Ringo and George. John and Paul were from middle class backgrounds.
never one like this

nonsense
Goldman garbage
No. The Beatles were attacked by Teddy Boy gangs whereby Stu was kicked in the head. John never kicked Stu
