Beatles Cd - Introducing The Beatles - Meet The Beatles

1. I Saw Her Standing There (Lennon/McCartney)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regular RM Take 9 & 12 11 Feb 1963 SS.PPM.01.09/12.RM Used for mono LP & CD "Please Please Me". Also found on mono US "Introducing The Beatles" (Brennan) but missing the count-in (only the "4" remains). It is not sure if the version found on "Introducing .." is the UK mono mix or the UK stereo mix reduced to mono. According to Brennan (again), if it was a reduction from the stereo mix we would hear the volume dropout on verse 3 that is typical on the UK stereo mix.

[Brennan]:The edit seems to be the last line; the word "belong" sounds shorter in the mono version as if it is done differently. On the other hand, a bootleg called "Garage Tapes" has an unidentified take where about only about the first half the song seems to match the finished version.
