| Here it is...at last! After creating quite a buzz when it first aired on the BBC, Wyckham Porteous' critically acclaimed cover of the 1963 Beatles hit "Please Please Me" is now available in the UK. The single has been produced and arranged by no less a music legend than Andrew Loog Oldham, former manager of The Rolling Stones, and MD of one of the first British Independent record labels, Immediate. Andrew worked with The Beatles in their early days, and his recollection of the recording of Please Please Me was that the song was originally composed as a ballad, in tribute to the great Roy Orbison. Hearing the obvious qualities in the song, the band's esteemed producer George Martin nonetheless encouraged the band to whip up the pace, until it became the defining Merseybeat anthem we now know and love. In the spirit of the song's original incarnation, however, Oldham took the song back to its gentler tempo, adding layers of steel guitar, pizzicato strings and tasteful sitar, whilst Porteous contributes a vocal of aching poignancy and deep emotive appeal. The result is one of the most striking reworkings of a Beatles song ever.
The B-side that accompanies this single is "Ancient Highway" penned by Wyckham himself. Both songs are from the LP 3 AM.
