The Beatles ~ Please Mister Postman

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Originally the debut single in 1961 by Motown group The Marvelettes, ‘Please Mister Postman’ was recorded two years later by The Beatles for their second album With The Beatles.
The second album was slightly better than the first, inasmuch as we spent more time on it, and there were more original songs. We did ‘Money’ for that album, and other cover versions: ‘Please Mister Postman’, ‘You Really Got A Hold On Me’ and ‘Devil In Her Heart’, an obscure American song by The Donays.
George Harrison
Anthology
In the studio
‘Please Mister Postman’ had been a part of The Beatles’ set since 1962, but during the recording it took some time to get right.
It took nine takes to perfect, and was completed in the morning of 30 July 1963, the same day that they recorded ‘It Won’t Be Long’, ‘Till There Was You’, ‘Roll Over Beethoven’, and ‘All My Loving’, plus edit pieces for ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’.
John Lennon took lead vocals on ‘Please Mister Postman’, double tracking his performance for added weight. Paul McCartney and George Harrison provided backing vocals, resulting in one of the more effective cover versions on With The Beatles.
John's voice is so awesome.
Encantador😍
My alltime favorite cover they did. John’s vocal was amazing. They were as Paul said, “a really good little rock n roll band.”
Great, but my favorite is John singing Anna....
My personal favourite cover of theirs is “money”
Yes! And in the studio recording, they somehow had the Phil Spector Wall of Sound atmosphere to it, especially Ringo’s drumming.
@@harrylazard805 More than "Twist and Shout"?
@@howie9751 That's my favorite John "screaming" song, Love it too!
John had a golden voice
George always had that cute little step going on. Adorable 🥰
Ringo's beat is very creative and lies perfectly in the song...
Basic twist beat. I've been playing the drums for 59 years
The front line cast a huge shadow, but Ringo was (is) a truly great drummer.
Listening with decent headphones for first time. Wow! That bass!
Absolutely to really enjoy this, listen with your headphones, the richness of the bass guitar is just awesome.
Time is indeed fleeting. In these days they all were into it George had his nerves, John wasn’t bored. McCartney wasn’t controlling and Ringo was riding the wave. It was a good time in history to be a music lover Lastly, this is a great cover and my favorite version McCartneys tenor is on full display
McCartney wasn't controlling, he was trying to keep the band going after Brian Epstein died. The other 3 had become disinterested in being Beatles.
@@brianinglis3805 I agree with you about Paul.
@@judyakajude3370 Yep old Macca has been maligned by supposed Beatles "fans" for the last 50 odd years. Check out "Pop Goes the 60s" youtube site. He analyses & debunks Beatles "myths"
What a treat to hear live version. John's vocals superb.
Lennons voice omg
My Favorite version! Love how George has a little dance going on 😍
The greatest cover band of all time became the greatest rock and roll band of all time. Thanks for posting!
LISTEN 2 that bass line. That samba drum beat. John's strumming borders on fanatical. George's enthusiasm makes u smile. Not bad 4 a garage band from Liverpool!!!
It was no surprise that I found an fell in love with Beatles music...1975 ish...my mum had give me 600 of her an my aunt 45s from the late 50s...all the great songs that got Paul an John started even they were older we still had the same original influence....it was really cool to see the Beatles loved America s music an all the rockers of America say how the Beatles influenced them when they was young...
Best singers
Lennon had such a great voice notwithstanding Paul’s fabulous tenor and George’s harmony !
Yea yea yea ! 👍❤️🇬🇧🎶🎸
Deliver the letter, the sooner the Bet! What a great line that only John could deliver
The girls may have thought that Paul was the best looking but it was Johns' voice that brought them to their feet.
What a great song to emphasize John's great voice !
They were great, luv listening to them still
One of the many great actions of the Beatles was making people aware of Motown and the acts there. I prefer their version. It rocks out better than the Marvelettes.
Superb cover John killed!!!!!!
The Beatles enough said!
They also did baby it’s you another great Motown hit at that time , also Lennon doing the vocal.
They evolved like no other group
And put out music like no other group, one album every 6 months
14 albums in 7 years
Always great to see a tv show clip even though the boys are lip-synching, the video quality gives you an excellent look at the young Beatles, hand-clapping and moving to the music.
They just had ‘it’!
Наши кумиры!
Вечная память The Beatles.
Qazahstan.
The Beatles,no palabras de mas,,The Best
Fabulous!
Unique Beatles, I love the songs of this unparalleled band!
Love this
Love their amps and mics
They along with other groups were very tidy in their dress
Nice syncing up of a live BBC radio take with the “Big Night Out” visuals.
Un temazo......😲😢💪
First album I got was called “Meet the Beatles”
This song remains the only song to achieve #1 three times performed by 3 different artists: The Marvelettes, The Beatles, and The Carpenters.
Twist and Shout is the most famous Beatles' cover, but the best one is Please Mister Postman.
Mis maestros preferidos
Me.gusta
Miming but still great stuff
1:59 New Angle? Its usually the zoom out one
no, not is
Nah, its not a new angle
Did you ever notice Paul would sometimes pretend to play w/out a pick when they were lip-syncing for a video or TV program?
this was a live performance, the audio of the performance is copyrighted. so i had too use this audio
@@LongTallSally1963:
They're still lipsyncing. Their instruments arent even plugged in and there are no microphones. So even the original sound is from the record. LOL!
So, forgive me, I thought you were commenting on another video of mine, and i got confused.
yes, they're lip-synching here
@@LongTallSally1963:
No problem, Brother. (Peace & Love) as Richie would say. LOL! Loved the vid all the same.
_________________________________________
Don´t know if you play but here's a bit of trivia for ya. If you transpose Crocodile Rock by EJ to the same key, it´s the same chord progression as Please, Mr. Postman, as well as Stand By Me. (and likely a dozen other songs) LOL!
Most bass players play without a pick, but you're right, I think Paul usually did.
Es perfecta original
1964 top beatles
Totally Original, .......FOR 1964.
This song is John's best cover and Kansas City is Paul's best cover while with the Beatles. Heh, back then we thought they were like quadruplets.
The Beatles doing a cover is now the Beatles just doing Mr. Postman is been decades......ago .
😎
The were hot hot love all there. Music
🎸🎶❤❤🤗🤗❤🎶🎸
Are they miming to a BBC recording ?, certainly not the "With The Beatles " recorded version.
They were miming to the studio track, i had too swap it so i wouldn't get copyrighted
Nothing more British than the Beatles even if they doing a American song
Lennon was the Beatles
The Beatles were so good they were perfect even when lip synching! Notice there are no guitar cords or microphones?
They were using Bluetooth guitars.
They're like a Motown girl group but they're guitar 🎸 👦 👦 👦 👦 guys
What’s the source material?
This version isn’t performed live, and it doesn’t sound like the recorded album version.
So what is it?
Footage:Big Night Out 1964
Audio: Saturday Club 1964
Mr postmant look and see if theres a letter for me Ive been waiting a long long time
This was alive
0:10
1:59 where is this angle from?
That is from the anthology segment
@@LongTallSally1963 oh is it different from original tv ver???
Yes
@@LongTallSally1963 thanks for you and anthology project team
I didntt get any
If you don’t mind I am colorizing this right now. I was able to finish colorizing I Want To Hold Your Hand but DeepRemaster is not working for me right now.
RINGO NO SABIA TOCAR LA BATERIA.
Doesn't sound like Pauls' bass guitar
check out and see one more time for me
Long legs for boys...thats a female trait !
Italian style of the time. Short jackets made legs look long and thin. In fact the female long legs short torso vs male short legs long torso is a bit of a myth. That's born out by bicycle companies, especially higher end, no longer making separate frame proportions for male and female riders. The range of leg to torso ratios is pretty constant for men and women across millions of samples from US military and bicycle purchases. As a male cyclist, I accepted the old assumptions. I do have a question about the new data - it seems to select for women in traditionally male activities and may, therefore, select for women who are best suited to those activities. My father, uncle, and I have long legs and short torso - as does my daughter. My son and my wife have short legs and long torsos. Long legs good for distance running and cycling up hill. Short legs, long torso great for sprint cycling and power swimming (son was brilliant butterfly swimmer but too small to compete with Michael Phelps!). It's an Italian post-war mod look. Beatles were rockers in leather and hardest punk band of all time in first two visits to Hamburg. Ditched the leather on Brian Epstein's advice , focused on brilliant, largely African American style pop, and the rest is history.
And you could tell me you have a hand growing out of your ear !...just because you say something does not make it true !....im just saying what i see !....but thanks for taking the time to answer me.:that was appreciated.....even if were not on the same track
I think the guys were all about 5'8 or 5'9 so their legs could be that long.
@@harrylazard805 John and George where 5'10". Paul was 5'11". Those 2" heels sure add height 😏
@@judyakajude3370 Yeah, look at Prince's boots sometime....
Lip sinking, they're not even "plugged in"
¡Esos no son los Beatles...son unos burdos imitadores....!!!!
BBC Session
Son Los Beatles
My opinion only, I think Paul's voice was so much better than John's. But then I really wasn't much if a Beatles fan. Especially after the comment John made about being bigger than God. It really turned me off of him. And I know people will say he apologized for saying that, oh course he did people wouldn't have bought their records or get any TV appearances. (MONEY!) So of course he said he was sorry. I lost all respect.
great- but the version of the carpenters is insurpassable
Why the padded shoulders ?
Fashion ,It changes,---
@@kevanbodsworth9868 that was an 80s thing
@@annehat4833 Early 1960s in this case
@@annehat4833 The Beatles had thier own people doing the clothes , A lady from Hamburg did thier early stage cloths, She was very forward ,,
@@kevanbodsworth9868 oh ok then....wasnt to hide their sloped shoulders then ?
Small mouths thats also a female trait !
What the hell are you on about
@@jojohairee9987 just saying what i see !
Hardly. The standard female WASP mouth is huge and all big perfect teeth. British men of all classes tended to maintain a stiff upper lip which made mouths look small. These boys were born in Liverpool during blitz and battle of the Atlantic and mostly grew up amongst bomb sites and hard port city where youth violence and ever-present threat and you were expected to get your retaliation in first.
@@cuebj sorry not convinced....and they all are definatley not the same boys....some switching done....been checking out old interviews....and old pics...plus them singing....eg paul had nice teeth in 1962...but in 1965 front teeth slightly crooked....also his philtrim changes lenghth....ringo spoke from left side of mouth...then it was right side...then not at all..johns jaw wider than earlier pics
@@annehat4833 so you're a nutcase as well, thnks for letting us know you're not to be taken seriously.
