Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze

“I was mad-keen to do this session. I’m a massive Beatles fan. They were part of my landscape when I was growing up. I would have been five or six when Please Please Me came out, and my brother played it constantly. But I discovered them for myself when I was 11 when The White Album came out. What a fantastic record for an 11-year-old to have! A commercial and mainstream record with all that on it – you’ve got to love them for pushing ahead all the time, they’re the gift that keeps on giving. Playing the album now, you’re struck by what a great band they already were at that time, just how hard they worked to get to that sort of polish and energy. We’re doing the song ‘Please Please Me’ for the session, but I’m going to put my own spin on it – and I’ll keep it in the same key, as it pushes me vocally.”

Yay! I wonder if they’ll do it in a slow “Roy Orbison” ballad style (as the song was originally written..)?? Can’t wait!
