  I find these videos a little oasis of calm in a mad, stressful world. They are some of the best Beatles videos on YouTube, hands down, I always look forward to watching them on Sunday afternoon.

  Well eventually they did want it and 63 years later the world still can't get enough of them. The GOATS.

  It’s hard to pin down how great these early Beatles singles were. The combination of the boys with George Martin was something that will never be equalled. Listen to any pop record from 1963 and nothing, absolutely nothing comes close. And on top of that it still sounds fresh and new today, 60 years on. Nothing short of a miracle. Good work Andrew.

  I was excited to find this single on VJ for 49¢ US in a bargain bin. Of course I cherish this purchase.

  I actually loved the version without the harmonica bit at the start. It’s creates a great rise of interest when you finally hear it during the bridge of the song.

  The Washington Concert version of Feb 64 always had a certain je ne sais quoi, as Ron Nasty would say.

  Saw the boys perform live in 1965, Minneapolis, with my almost 14 year old ears.<br>Gig lasted about 30-35 minutes; do that today and the place would riot.<br>Your in-depth knowledge and attention to the slightest minutia is impressive.<br>It&apos;s truly mind-boggling what you&apos;ve produced and how you&apos;ve presented the history of this group&apos;s recording career.<br>Thank you for the time invested to showcase the band that really did change the music world with their collective genius.

  I cannot recall people I grew up with, girls I dated, or significant events, but I can still sing and hear in my head, &apos;From Me to You&apos; from memory.<br>One of my favorites.

  Your videos always make me reassess records we&apos;ve taken for granted and takes me back in those times, comparing the Beatles to the other music of those days, and making me realize anew how revolutionary and fresh they sounded.

  Thank you Andrew for that bit of the What Goes On demo. What an amazing glimpse into Beatles history.
