SHE LOVES YOU (Room 123)
SHE LOVES YOU (Room 123)
Less than three weeks after their very last Cavern Club gig, “She Loves You” was released which ultimately became the anthem for what was soon to be termed “Beatlemania!. Even to this day the refrain “Yeah Yeah Yeah” will elicit only one response... She Loves You! EMI, The Beatles record company ordered the pressing of 250,000 copies prior to its release. This figure although huge, was to prove totally inadequate for the phenomenal demand that followed. Paul later recalled that the initial reviews of the new single were a little disappointing, as it was suggested that the band were struggling for new material! How wrong the critics were! The adoring British public lapped it up. The exuberance of the bands performance complete with “oohs and head shaking” led to excitement and hysteria on a level never seen before in Britain. The Beatles output at this time (and indeed throughout their career) was prodigious, so much so that many of their hit singles were not used on any of their albums. This certainly was true of “She Loves You”, which evokes memories of a time and a place in British cultural history. This single was their defining moment in the conquering of Britain; their next would see them conquer the world!
