thread_title:  50th anniversary of recording 

message: The side bar at the top says it was recorded in September, November, and February. The text however says it was recorded in one day. Which is it?? The side bar gives no references for those dates--Dbjorck (talk) 16:15, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: And the article text makes no mention of any earlier recording sessions in Sep or Nov 1962. BBC Radio 2 certainly seemed to think that it was all recorded in a single day (see comment above). Martinevans123 (talk) 16:46, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recording date? 

message: I would like to request the page be moved from Please Please Me to Please Please Me (album) to distinguish it from the song. Both carry enough weight to make distinction necessary. Thank you.--Gg53000 (talk) 01:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: If your move was implemented, when a user typed in Please Please Me, where would they be taken?  GoingBatty (talk) 03:07, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

text: They would be taken to Please Please Me (disambugation).--Gg53000 (talk) 14:11, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  In the current state, people typing in Please Please Me looking for the album get it on their first guess, whereas those wanting the song take one more click.  With your suggestion, no one gets what they want on their first guess, and everyone has to take that one more click.  Could you please help me understand how your request would benefit our readers?  Thanks!  GoingBatty (talk) 04:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

text: Well, I thought that both the album and the song were of equal weight, and so people looking for the song would take one less click. But, the way you've put it, nobody wins, and they don't lose that extra step. So I guess I'll just drop the move. Sorry and thanks.--Gg53000 (talk) 13:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 

message: Though they are sourced, Rock and Pop seem kind of redundant here, as the already listed Rock'N'Roll already covers Rock, and Merseybeat covers both Pop and Rock. I think Rock'N'Roll and Merseybeat alone would cover the album's style perfectly without having to many genres flooding the infobox. Poppermost2014 (talk) 13:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Part of this sentence is confusing:
"A stereo mix was made at the same time as the mono mix (though even the stereo album only featured mono mixes of "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You")"
The part that is confusing is the thing about "though even the stereo album only featured mono mixes...".  Unless I'm missing something, "only" implies you would expect more mono mixes on a stereo mix.  Can we drop the word "also"?  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 13:58, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, let's take this one step at a time.  I would expect that an album of stereo mixes would contain an album of stereo mixes.  But the article says that it features only mono mixes of "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You".  Why would anyone expect more exceptions?  50.129.35.130 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 23:49, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it was confusing, but easier to read now. I don’t know what “delta” mono is, so I’m pleased to see that’s gone. The bit about the stereo mix is still a little muddled though. Obviously, the two mono tracks remain mono on the stereo album, that’s clear enough. However Martin later said: “The reason I used the stereo machine in twin-track form [on the 11 Feb] was simply to make the mono better, to delay the vital decision of submerging the voices into the background. I certainly didn’t separate them for people to hear them separate!” (Mark Lewisohn) That implies that there exists a better mix than the pretty brutal left / right separation that the article describes. Maybe it needs more investigating? Patthedog (talk) 10:58, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: While Martin certainly isn't endorsing the brutal left/right separation, that is his stereo mix and I don't believe there is another better mix. The better mixes of the early Beatles albums, as Martin later said, were the mono mixes. I think all Martin is saying here is that he recorded all the instruments on one track and the vocals on the other with the eventual, and more important, mono mix in mind. Since there is no left/right separation in the mono mix, the primary concern is the volume level of the instruments versus the vocals—this allowed him to do that at the mixing stage. Having recorded it this way, it didn't leave many options when it came to the left/right separation in stereo mix. Piriczki (talk) 13:32, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  "A stereo mix was made at the same time as the mono mix (though even the stereo album only featured mono mixes of "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You")" 

message: The infobox states that the album was recoded 4 September 1962 to 11 February 1963, this is obviously wrong but the article doesn't do anything to clear this up. It only states that 10 more songs were needed for a complete album if the first two singles and the B sides were added. Pennsy22 (talk) 09:55, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
