Between 1963 and 1965, The Beatles released at least three singles a year and two albums, an unbelievable production for a group that was making tours, filming, talking to the press and writing most of their material. By the time the Beatles emerged in the industry, pop music was plastered and somewhat dull. The B-sides of the singles tended to be throwaway songs, often written by the producer under a pseudonym so he could benefit from mechanical royalties, and the albums contained a recent hit or two, plus a handful of fill-in-the-wall songs. The Beatles changed that completely. Suddenly, every song was important. Each of the singles had a B side that was just as good as the A side, and every album was full of potential singles. Singles, on the other hand, rarely appeared on albums. “Thank You Girl”, originally titled “Thank You Little Girl”, was written as a sequel to “Please Please Me”, and “From MeTo You” was meant to be her B side. In the end, it was “From Me To You” that it sounded like a more natural single, so the two changed places.Enjoy an early and great side B with John on harmonica.
