With the Beatles
Unlike "Please Please Me", the bulk of whose tracks (10 of the 14, excluding previously issued singles) were recorded in one day, "With the Beatles" was recorded over seven sessions across three months, from 18 July to 23 October. None of its 14 tracks were issued as singles in the UK. In between sessions, as Beatlemania took off across the UK, the group were busy with radio, TV, and live performances.
