Did you know that fifty years ago yesterday (February 11th), four musicians walked into Abbey Road Studio at 10am. By 8pm, the Beatles' debut album Please, Please Me was recorded and in the can, to be rush-released the next month.
To celebrate this occasion, several British artists gathered in the studio yesterday to do the same thing, as organized by BBC Radio 2. Among the performers, members of Squeeze, Paul Jones (the voice of Manfred Mann), Joss Stone, Stereophonics, Mick Hucknall of Simply Red and more.
The whole day was taped for a documentary to air on BBC 4 on Friday. No word on if it will show on BBC America yet, but you can look at photos and hear recordings here on the BBC's website >>
Speaking of Beatles, there's a rumor that Sir Paul may tour this year. We'll let you know first when you Join The Club!
