BEATLES - I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND / I SAW HER STANDING THERE 7" -
RSD24 - BLACK FRIDAY
IN STOCK NOW
With a million preorders for “I Want To
Hold Your Hand” in the UK, the single shot to number 1 in December 1963
knocking The Beatles’ own “She Loves You” from the top spot. This was
to be the first official single for The Beatles on Capitol records and
was backed by an extraordinary marketing campaign. With “I Saw Her
Standing There” replacing “This Boy” for the other side, the single was
rush-released in the USA in January 1964, climbing to number 1 on the
Hot 100 by 1st February. Remaining on the chart for 15 weeks, it went
on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide – and with it, an
unstoppable force was unleashed and Beatlemania had truly arrived. Cut
from the original US version of the master tapes by Kevin Reeves in
Nashville, using all-analog cutting process and on the 1970 lathe that
was in Capitol and has been used on many classic album cuts over the
years. Same masters as used for the albums in the 1964 box set.
