J Lennon page 11 by ric gustafson
On September 4 1962 after playing Hamburg for the last time, the Beatles had a meeting with George Martin.
Their producer had seen Record Retailer. " Love Me Do' is 46".
Later, Martin saw the NME. " Love Me Do is 27".
The band is estatic.
" I think". Martin smiled. " You should make an album".
John frowned. " Covers?".
" No". Martin grinned. " An album of your own songs".
John turned to Paul. " How should we handle the songwriting credit?".
" Any idea?".
" How about Lennon and McCartney?".
Paul didn't mind. " That's ok".
On November 26 1962, the band records ' Please Please Me' and ' Ask Me Why'.
After hearing ' Please Please Me', George Martin smiled at the band.
" Gentlemen, you have your first number one record".
