| "I SAW HER STANDING In that location" (Paul McCartney – John Lennon) "I Saw Her Continuing There" has the distinction of being one of the very first Beatles songs heard in the Us, thank you to beingness chosen past Capitol records as the flip side to their beginning charted single, "I Desire To Concur Your Hand" (released Dec 26th, 1963).It was also a very good representation of what The Beatles' music was all about.The Beatles worked hard to blot, likewise as create, the "crush" music craze which swept Liverpool, London and even Hamburg, Germany in the early sixties.This song, different most others recorded this early on in their career, is an accurate reflection of the swinging dance sound they were known for at the Cavern Club and other dance halls around their dwelling boondocks.So, while American youth snapped their fingers and sang forth to "I Want To Hold Your Hand", when they heard "I Saw Her Standing There", they got up and danced! Songwriting History "That'due south Paul doing his usual good job of producing what George Martin used to telephone call a 'potboiler'," stated John Lennon about "I Saw Her Standing There." George Martin would choose such a song as an opening runway to The Beatles' albums, a practice he started here on their British "Please Delight Me" album. The history of the vocal, equally can be determined by deciphering interviews throughout the years, dates back to 1962. "I thought of the thought driving domicile from a concert in Southport," says McCartney. The Beatles played various times in 1962 in Southport, such as July 23rd or July 26th, but recollections that are related in Marker Lewisohn'southward book "Tune In" propose that Paul had to have been remembering the trip back from a operation at Queens Hall in Widnes on October 22nd, 1962. After gigs, The Beatles would frequent Hurricaneville, the family habitation of Rory Tempest and his sister Iris Caldwell, 1 of the girls Paul was dating at the time. The inspiration for "I Saw Her Continuing There," although unnamed at the time, apparently popped into Paul's caput on the way to Hurricaneville on this evening and, upon his arrival, he grabbed an acoustic guitar to effigy information technology out before he forgot it. He had the first two lines sketched in, which were "She was simply seventeen / She'd never been a dazzler queen," so he let it ruminate in his heed for awhile. Rory Storm, blown abroad past witnessing a song being written before his eyes, asked Paul if he could have it exclusively for use with his grouping "Rory Storm And The Hurricanes" (which formerly included Ringo Starr on drums). Paul said yep, but most likely quickly forgot virtually this exact agreement shortly thereafter. With a couple of free days, Paul and another girlfriend, Celia Mortimer, decided to hitchhike to London together to visit Paul and John'southward former friend Ivan Vaughan (who had introduced Paul to John dorsum in 1957). In the book "Melody In," Celia remembers the events of this adventure: "We had an astonishing time, merely wandering streets in the sunshine, looking at London, belongings hands and having fun, and Paul had the melody of what became 'I Saw Her Continuing There' going round his head all day, humming it and singing it and fleshing out the words. I remember walking effectually some lovely, elegant squares...while he fabricated upwards rhyming lines and asked me what I thought of them. He said, 'What rhymes with 'We danced through the night'? and I came up with 'Nosotros held each other tight,' which was really quite naff, simply he used it. He'd worked out a off-white bit of the lyric by the terminate of the day." Merely was there a daughter in mind that Paul was singing about? Many advise girlfriend Iris Caldwell, but Celia feels differently. "I felt like the song was virtually us, only it wasn't said. Information technology was implicit, but difficult to state openly because information technology would have made things terribly intimate. But I was very flattered, and it became for me an abiding memory of our trip to London." The reader should know that Celia was indeed "seventeen" at the time and they actually did "dance through the dark." Coincidence? Then, most likely in the concluding days of November 1962, simply before their terminal Hamburg residency, Paul and John got together at Paul's dwelling house on 20 Forthlin Route in Liverpool to consummate the vocal. "We wrote it on guitars and a little bit on the pianoforte," Paul related to writer Marker Lewisohn in his book "Tune In." The title of the song was reportedly "Seventeen" at this stage, but was inevitably changed to correspond with their established songwriting construction of ending every poetry with the title of the song. It also allows the title of the song to incorporate a personal pronoun ("I") which they tried to put into their song titles so that their fans could personally relate to the songs. "'I Saw Her Standing There' was my original," McCartney connected. "I'd started it and I had the first verse, which therefore gave me the melody, the tempo and the key. It gave you the subject area matter, a lot of the information then you had to fill in... With John and me on a vocal, if I come upwardly with some lines which I know aren't actually very adept and I'm only hoping to fool him, I know I won't. 'I Saw Him Continuing There' was the best instance of it...I had 'She was just seventeen ,' and and so ' beauty queen .' I knew this was rubbish, and that I'd put it down only because information technology rhymed. When I showed it to John, he screamed with laughter and said, 'You're joking nigh that line, aren't y'all?' And I realized that, in fact, I was, and we changed it." "I helped with a couple of the lyrics," remembered John. Paul elaborates: "We stopped there and both of united states of america cringed at that and said, 'No, no, no. Beauty queen is out! There'southward got to be some other rhyme for seventeen.' So nosotros went through the alphabet: between, make clean, lean, mean; 'She wasn't mean; you know what I hateful; peachy! Put that in.' And so the significance of information technology built every bit we sang information technology...people picked upwards on the implied significance afterward. It was a good way out of that problem. And so it was co-written, my idea, and we finished it that mean solar day." The innuendo "yous know what I hateful," maybe suggesting hooking up with an underage girl, was then added to the lyrics they were scratching out into a Liverpool Institute do volume, this vocal containing many scribbled out ideas. Paul's brother Michael has a moving picture taken on this day of Paul strumming a cheap Castilian acoustic guitar (mayhap a Framus model) and John with his newly acquired Gibson J-160E as they both huddled around the practise book which was on the flooring. During a 2018 interview with GQ magazine, Paul related details of the above story and ended past saying "and that started our songwriting partnership," inferring that "I Saw Her Standing There" was the very get-go Lennon / McCartney collaboration. "John and I used to nick a lot," Paul explains, this word beingness a polite fashion of saying they stole ideas from other songs. "If you actually nick then it's a disaster, but (the way we did) it just gets you into the vocal, and in the stop y'all never notice where information technology was nicked from. You put it all together and information technology makes something original." Writer Mark Lewisohn gives some "nick" examples institute in "I Saw Her Standing There," one beingness the lyric "I saw her standing one the corner" from The Coasters' hit "Youngblood," the line "She'due south too beautiful to exist a minute over seventeen" from Chuck Berry'southward "Lilliputian Queenie" (both songs being role of The Beatles' set listing at this time) and the tune line of The Beatles' lyric "How could I dance with some other / since I saw her standing there" being nearly identical to "I want to be in that number / when the saints get marching in" (a song that Paul learned on the trumpet back in 1955). Another interesting "nick" was that the bass line that McCartney had written for the vocal was taken directly from the 1961 Chuck Berry archetype "I'thousand Talking About You." "I played exactly the aforementioned notes as he did and information technology fitted our number perfectly," McCartney relates. "Even now, when I tell people about it, I find few of them believe me. Therefore I maintain that a bass riff doesn't accept to be original." This was the get-go Beatles vocal released that features a high falsetto "ooh." This feature became a staple of the before itemize of hits, every bit they closed their eyes, shook their heads, and reached up for the falsetto notes during their performances, which created a frenzied reaction especially from admiring teen girls. Such was the impact on U.s. audiences as they defenseless their first glimpse of the band on the Ed Sullivan Bear witness in 1964. The Beatles in the EMI studio command room, 1963 Recording History The Beatles at this point had recorded and released two British singles with varying degrees of success. "Love Me Exercise" had reached number 17 in Dec 1962, and "Please Please Me" had reached number ii in February 1963. In society to capitalize on the national success of their recent unmarried, George Martin, their record producer, decided to hastily record an anthology to satisfy whatever needs their fan base may take had. They were asked by George Martin what could be recorded speedily, as only ane day was scheduled at EMI Studios for this purpose. The answer the Beatles gave them was their "stage deed", which by this time contained the v month old "Seventeen", as the song was all the same called at that time. They needed to record ten songs to complete the album, which would also include both sides of the 2 previously released singles, to comprise the standard 14 songs per album in Britain. The recording date was February 11th, 1963, and the song "Seventeen" was recorded during the beginning recording session that day, between 10:00 am and i:00 pm. Being that the showtime song recorded in this session was "There's A Identify" and that they recorded 10 takes of that song, "Seventeen" must have been started effectually 11:30 am. While John experimented with playing harmonica on the song during rehearsals at the Cavern Club in the later months of 1962, the grouping reverted to their standard lineup of guitars, bass and drums in the studio on this solar day. They played the song live along with lead and background vocals, with no overdubs at this point. The first take of the song was consummate and, for all intents and purposes, perfect. What is axiomatic from this is that every aspect of the song was well apposite ahead of fourth dimension, The Beatles having performed this limerick repeatedly in their stage human activity for many months. Interestingly, we see that the production team purposely added a expert amount of reverb to George Harrison'southward guitar only during his guitar solo. This was their attempt to brand the solo stand out every bit dissimilar from the residuum of the song and, as presently as the solo was over, they decreased the reverb level to sound every bit before. George Martin, though, thought this "have" could be improved upon. After engineer Norman Smith calls out for "take two," Lennon quietly counts downwards the song but only he starts playing. Paul and so quietly but commandingly counts down the song equally planned and everybody follows his lead. Nonetheless, there are a number of flaws in "take two." Everything starts out fine but John ends up coming in singing harmony in the second verse with "how could I dance" from the beginning verse instead of "she wouldn't dance" like he should have. So in the third verse, in that location must have been some confusion by both John and Paul as to what the right lyrics were, since they both awkwardly stumbled into the line "she wouldn't dance" instead of "now I'll never trip the light fantastic" as it should have been. Nosotros also tin hands make up one's mind by this "take" that George's guitar solo was ad-libbed since it was quite different from the first accept although very well performed. Finally, in their repeat of the 3rd verse, they both get the lyrics right but Paul, probably figuring that they messed up the song as well badly, ended the song with a falling notation on his bass guitar while John commented to Paul nigh their mistakes. Evidently not noticing the obvious vocal errors, George Martin suggested they perform an edit slice to correct the flubbed ending. "Take three," therefore, was this brusque edit slice, which consisted of their 3-times echo of "since I saw her continuing there" at the songs' cease along with the final determination. Having accomplished this edit piece acceptably, George Martin's adjacent idea was to have the Beatles perform an edit piece for the guitar solo, just this time without equally much reverb and with more excited screams from John and Paul. "Take 4" was their starting time endeavor at this edit piece, which began with the last four measures of the third poetry as an introduction. George Harrison's extemporaneous guitar solo wasn't quite as good, so they tried it again as "take five." Afterwards practicing their "wooohdue south," they started off "take v" too fast and, although they shouted more during the solo, the actual guitar solo was not very good at all, which rendered this edit slice useless besides. Having abandoned this idea, a decision was fabricated to just start the vocal all over again from scratch. Before "accept six" begins, Paul concerns himself verbally on how to call up the correct lyrics and how to get the correct tempo for the song. After some other quiet inaugural, "take six" begins but breaks down during the second poetry because Paul keeps getting the lyrics wrong. "Yeah, but I hateful, information technology's too fast anyway," he tells Norman Smith who called the song to a halt. Already feeling the frustration of having to do the vocal so many times, Paul exclaims "and again" before he starts off "have 7," which he himself stops considering he feels information technology's going also fast. Showing himself as the perfectionist that he is, Paul explains "and again, I'g pitiful, you know, only…" every bit he tries to demonstrate to the group what the correct tempo for the song should be. "Take viii" begins fine but when Ringo accidentally misses hitting his hullo-hat during the first poetry, everyone stops which prompts Paul to enquire, "What happened?" Beingness conspicuously frustrated, Paul counts down "take 9" with a loud "one, two, 3, FAAA," which propels the group through another complete version of the vocal. This spirited performance was splendid, they even getting the lyrics correct. Being 1:00 pm already, everyone involved must have felt the vocal was complete and decided to finally movement along to the side by side, only not before lunch. The Beatles, even so, decided to skip eating and stayed in the empty studio to drink milk and practice for the rest of the session. Little did they know at the fourth dimension that they would return to the song later that twenty-four hours. At some indicate, George Martin thought having the grouping handclapping their hands throughout the song would create an excited atmosphere, so at about 4:45 pm, the Beatles gathered effectually a microphone to do merely that. "Have ten" was a play back of "take nine" in order for them to perform this overdub simply, upon listening to information technology, George Martin decided that he liked "take one" meliorate after all. So the first accept of the song was spooled up for the handclap overdub. "Take xi" only fabricated information technology through the starting time few measures of the offset verse before the record was stopped because it wasn't at a loud plenty volume. The Beatles kept clapping afterwards which motivated Paul to say "we have to continue Britain tidy" and got them all laughing. The EMI staff started playing "take one" again at the proper volume every bit the group clapped their hands (with reverb) all the way through the song. This became "take twelve," which was now considered the new "all-time." Therefore, the song was really complete past about 5:00 pm. Both the mono and stereo mixes of the song, as well as the rest of the ten songs recorded on February 11th, were created on Feb 25th, 1963 in the control room of EMI Studio One past George Martin, Norman Smith and second engineer A.B. Lincoln. Before whatever mixing took place on this solar day, George Martin decided to edit in Paul's excited "1, Two, 3, FAAA" countdown of the song from "accept nine" onto the showtime of what was now "take twelve." He felt this would add together the desired "potboiler" atmosphere he wanted for the song. Afterwards the edit was made, both the mono and stereo mixes were created from this edited master. This became the exuberant kick-off to the soonhoped-for-released beginning British album, entitled "Please Please Me with Love Me Exercise and 12 other songs." (The original "take ix" can be heard on the CD single for "Costless Equally A Bird," which was released on December 31st, 1995.) An interesting side-note is that the vocal did see the recording studio another fourth dimension past a former Beatle on July 21st, 1987. Paul McCartney recorded "I Saw Her Standing There" forth with 21 other classic rock and gyre standards equally contenders for an album originally released in Russia entitled "CHOBa B CCCP" (which is Russian for "Back In The U.Due south.S.R."). The album did receive a worldwide release in 1991, but no version of the album contains this version of the song. McCartney decided non to include it on the anthology and it remains unreleased to this day. On June 23rd, 1994, the surviving three Beatles met at George'due south private studio at his Friar Park dwelling house at Henley On Thames, England, to film and tape footage for possible inclusion in the "Anthology" television special. With Paul and George on acoustic guitars and Ringo on drums (playing with brushes), they went through a diverseness of older songs they used to perform with The Beatles in the Cave days and even back during their Quarrymen period. Album TV director Bob Smeaton recalls: "In that location'due south a whole lot of that stuff; we were there for a full solar day...They did a whole lot of rock and roll songs." Producer Jeff Lynne remembers: "It was merely a fourth dimension warp kind of thing. We played some onetime stone and roll stuff, a couple of Chuck Drupe's, even "I Saw Her Standing There.'" Neither the recording nor the motion-picture show footage accept nevertheless to be released. The following live recordings of "I Saw Her Standing There by individual Beatles as released on alive albums are equally follows: November 28th, 1974 at Madison Square Garden in New York City (John Lennon with Elton John), November 9th, 1989 in Montreal, Canada (Paul), May 17th, 2002 in Sunrise, Florida (Paul), June 27th, 2007 in Hollywood California (Paul) and July 17th, 2009 at Citi Field in New York City (Paul with Billy Joel). Vocal Structure and Style The song was written in one of the most established formulas of popular music of its time.It was written in the 'poetry/ verse/ bridge/ verse' manner (or aaba) which does non accept a repeatable chorus.The songwriting fashion of many of The Beatles favorite artists of the time have a similar song construction, such equally Fats Domino and Arthur Alexander. The title, or hook-line, of the vocal is institute at the terminate of each verse, which helps listeners call up the title of the vocal.In this case, The Beatles may very well have not defenseless on to this established practice, existence that they named the song "Seventeen" and had apparently been performing the song in their "stage deed" for about five months with this championship.We do know that sometime before the release of the British album "Please Please Me" past March 22nd, 1963, the name had been officially changed to "I Saw Her Standing There," perchance at the suggestion of the all-wise George Martin. After the rousing count-in past Paul, the song creates anticipation with its two opening instrumental bars in their established "beat" style, leading to the start verse, each verse consisting of viii bars.Paul likewise handles the pb vocals, joined by John with lower harmony vocals for the second half of each poesy, culminating in the accentuation of the songs title.Subsequently the 2nd verse, the chords ascent and the harmonies continue as they enter the v bar bridge, which creates an illusion of sexual climax before bringing us back to the footing with the third and final poesy in the song structure, which satisfies the listener with a happy ending; boy gets girl! Nosotros and so are treated to the first guitar solo officially recorded in The Beatles cannon performed by George Harrison.This being only the sixth song recorded with intention of being released on tape, Harrison earns his keep as the lead guitarist in the band.(George did perform pb guitar solos in the Hamburg recording sessions of 1961, although these were not released under the "Beatles" name."My Bonnie" had been released on tape before this time, but was billed every bit "Tony Sheridan and the Shell Brothers.")His solo, which is played during the same chord construction as a verse, was recorded alive with the rest of the band as they were used to performing the vocal alive.Before long after this, it became common do to overdub a guitar solo afterward so as to refine the solo and become the best performance.Considering the band was and so used to performing the song over the previous v months, George had already refined his solo, equally evidenced by listening to take 9 of the song, this being equally well performed. The song and then returns to repeat the climactic bridge and last "boy gets girl" verse, repeating the song's title three times to, inadvertently, drive home the championship of the song in our heads.The chords have a surprise left plow at the end to switch things up a bit, before crashing down with a triumphant clang of a guitar chord coupled with a song accentuation from its lead vocaliser.A conclusion like this can just encourage applause. It is interesting to note that in some of their performances of the song during the next yr or so, equally well as McCartney'south performances in much later years, the second bridge is eliminated. After the solo is performed, McCartney goes correct into the last verse.Whether this was intentional has not been confirmed, although it has been suggested that it was shortened during performances by The Beatles in guild to move on to newer songs, being that the song may have already been considered "old" by mid 1963, in their minds at least. American Releases The first record release for the song was on Dec 26th, 1963 as the flip side to the first Capitol single, "I Want To Hold Your Manus."Information technology was chosen specifically past Capitol records for this position because of its rousing quality in order to make a specific bear on on American audiences.Its British flip side, "This Male child", as skillful of a song equally it may have been, was not what the record company had in mind for the possible start impression they wanted The Beatles to make in united states of america.Knowing that Vee Jay records had already received this song from Britain many months prior to this didn't influence their decision to release it, recognizing that the vocal, equally all other previous Beatles songs, was at present nether license to Capitol. The single was actually planned for release in Jan 1964, in order to be better timed with The Beatles' beginning advent on the Ed Sullivan Bear witness in February. Simply because someone at a Washington D.C. radio station imported the single from Britain, "I Want To Agree Your Hand" was already beingness played on the radio with much response from listeners. In order to satisfy public need for the vocal, the single was released sooner, still ending up with great timing for their Ed Sullivan appearance. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was at number one on the Billboard charts when they appeared on the prove. Only a select few of the most popular recording artists in America were capable of having the flip side of a unmarried actually have a placement of its own on the Billboard charts.Elvis surely was one of these, having done it repeatedly throughout his early on career.The Beatles proved themselves capable of this feat with their beginning Capitol single release."I Saw Her Standing There" received and then much attention on American radio that it reached a chart position of number 14 by March of 1964.Testify of this comes from watching the video footage of The Beatles during their kickoff US visit, as they were being driven around town in the back of their car listening to the transistor radios they received every bit gifts.The radio is playing "I Saw Her Standing There." This could just accept made Vee Jay records very happy, as they quickly released the album that they had been sitting on since July 1963, "Introducing…The Beatles."The first track of the album, like its British counterpart, was "I Saw Her Standing At that place", which makes the 2nd official release of the song in America on January 10th, 1964.Existence released a mere week and a half afterward the Capitol single, and existence played on the radio every bit it was, created the impression that the song was the "striking single" from the anthology.This, no doubt, only added fuel to the fire in the minds of executives at Capitol, who quickly filed suit after the albums release. Another interesting note is that the song does not have the rousing "One, Two, Three, FAAAA" inaugural at the starting time of the song on the Vee Jay album.The reason for this is, when preparing the album for release dorsum in July of 1963, Vee Jay records idea the countdown was left in past accident. "Ane doesn't accept the countdown of a song on the actual record", Vee Jay engineers must have thought.Then they tried to edit information technology out of the chief tapes they received from EMI Studios.Because the edit of the inaugural blended so well with the actual introduction of the music, it wasn't possible to totally edit it out.So, embarrassingly enough, the outset affair you hear when y'all play the Vee Jay album is Paul McCartney yelling "FAAA."Afterward all the foresight and work George Martin did to add the rousing introduction to the song, Vee Jay records once once more dropped the ball. The next release of the vocal in America came just 10 days later with the release of the groundbreaking Capitol album, "Come across The Beatles! The Get-go Album past England'southward Phenomenal Pop Combo."The date of release was January 20th, 1964, significant that the song was released and bachelor for purchase in America in iii different forms within a 26 day flow.This over-saturation did not hurt sales 1 fleck, every bit all 3 forms sold over a million copies each in 1964. The "Meet The Beatles!" album was finally released on an individual meaty disc on Jan 21st, 2014, both the mono and stereo mixes being contained on a single CD. Capitol Records released a compilation album entitled "Chart Busters Volume 4" on May 4th, 1964 which also featured "I Saw Her Standing There." The sales of the "Chartbusters" album was minimal in comparison to their other Beatles releases, merely it nonetheless counts as an official US release of the song. Vee Jay records and so re-released the "Introducing…The Beatles" anthology, including "I Saw Her Continuing There," in 2 other forms.The showtime was the double album "The Beatles vs. The Iv Seasons" on October 1st, 1964, which sold quite terribly, simply reaching twenty,000 copies sold. The 2d was "Songs, Pictures And Stories Of The Fabulous Beatles" released on Oct twelfth, 1964.This sold more respectfully, reaching a full of 400,000 copies, despite it being a desperate attempt at ripping-off the American record-ownership public.This, of course, worked quite well. The song was released in one other form on a Capitol release, but not until June 7th, 1976.A compilation two-anthology set was released entitled "Rock 'due north' Roll Music," which was viewed as a companion piece to the gear up of "greatest hit" packages released in 1973, these affectionately known every bit the "Red Album" and the "Bluish Anthology." George Martin was consulted regarding the preparation of this album and, with access to but the Capitol mixes, fabricated a few noticeable changes. The original stereo mix had all instruments on the left channel and all vocals on the right aqueduct. For this anthology, George Martin centered the instruments in both channels and placed the song track slightly to the left. He also boosted the bass in the right channel and raised the treble in the left channel.The album was extremely popular because of a wave of Beatles nostalgia hit America at the fourth dimension, getting the album to the number ii position on the Billboard anthology chart.The first album of the ii-album set, which featured "I Saw Her Continuing There," was and so released by itself on October 27th, 1980 as a budget album under the title "Rock 'n' Roll Music Volume One." "Live 1962, Hamburg Germany" was a double anthology released on the Hall Of Music tape label in 1981. It contained a version of "I Saw Her Continuing At that place" that was recorded during the 1962 Christmas seasonon in Hamburg on a portable Grundig reel-to-reel tape recorder. Onetime in 1982, the characterization Collectables released the same Hamburg recording of the vocal as the A-side of a unmarried with "Can't Help It, Bluish Angel (really "Reminiscing") as the B-side. This short lived single is quite rare today. The outset time the original British "Please Please Me" album was fabricated bachelor in the US was the "Original Master Recording" vinyl edition released through Mobile Allegiance Sound Lab in January of 1987. This album included "I Saw Her Standing There" every bit its opening track and was prepared utilizing half-speed mastering applied science from the original master tape on loan from EMI. This version of the album was only bachelor for a brusque time and is quite collectible today. With the dawning of the compact disc era in the 1980's, music fans were eagerly waiting for the delayed release of the Beatles itemize on CD. K-Tel Records thought to greenbacks in on this expectation by releasing "Live In Hamburg '62" in early Feb 1987, which was just prior to the release of the showtime 4 Beatles albums by Apple Records. Many Beatles fans couldn't resist owning a live CD past their favorite group that featured 20 tracks including "I Saw Her Standing There," not realizing that this was such a lo-fi rough recording as released many times before on vinyl, as detailed higher up. The original British "Please Please Me" album, featuring "I Saw Her Continuing There" as the opening track, was released on compact disc on February 26th, 1987 and on vinyl on July 21st, 1987. This disc was released merely in mono at the time, but a remastered stereo version came out on CD on September 9th, 2009 and on vinyl on November 13th, 2012. Sometime in 1991, Sony Music took information technology upon themselves to release two volumes of the in a higher place mentioned 1962 Hamburg recordings, "Alive! At The Star Club In Hamburg, Germany; 1962 (Vol. ane)" containing "I Saw Her Continuing At that place." The release of these volumes prompted legal activity from The Beatles, Sony discontinuing production of these volumes because of a lawsuit that had been filed. By 1998, The Beatles had won the correct of ownership of these recordings, whatever releases surfacing afterwards this point being illegally produced bootlegs. On June 30th, 1992, Capitol released the box ready "Compact Disc EP Collection," which featured "I Saw Her Standing There" because of its inclusion on the original British EP "Beatles No. 1," which came out in their habitation land on November 1st, 1963 and reached #two on the British charts. This then takes us to Dec 6th, 1994, to the release of "Live At The BBC," which features their live performance of the vocal at the Playhouse Theatre in London on Oct 16th, 1963.This album peaked at number three on the Billboard charts and sold well over 2 million copies. A remastered and re-packaged version of this anthology was released on Nov 11th, 2013. Adjacent came "Anthology 1," which was released in America on November 21st, 1995, and was reported as selling over 1 million copies in the first week. A total of iv million copies of the double anthology accept been sold as of this date.This album features the song as performed at Karlaplansstudion in Stockholm, Sweden on October 24th, 1963. November 15th, 2004 saw another release of the song on the box fix "The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1." The original "See The Beatles" album, in both stereo and mono, were included in the ready. On September 9th, 2009, the box set "The Beatles In Mono" was released, featuring an extremely clear remastered version of the mono "I Saw Her Standing There." Also released on September 9th, 2009, in promotion of the remastered Beatles catalog, the "09.09.09 Sampler" was distributed to retailers and radio programmers, "I Saw Her Standing There" being featured therein. This has become quite the observe for collectors. And then on November 11th, 2013, a BBC sequel entitled "On Air - Live At The BBC Book 2" was released. This featured even so another version of the vocal equally recorded for British radio, this one recorded on September 7th, 1963 for the fifth ceremony of the show "Saturday Social club." This was a truncated version of the song (omitting the second span) but features an first-class guitar solo from George, one arguably better than what was officially released on the "Please Please Me" album. Interestingly, two samplers for the to a higher place album were released at that time for promotional purposes, a 5-song sampler and a fourteen-song sampler. Both included this newly available BBC recording of "I Saw Her Standing There." "I Saw Her Standing In that location" likewise saw much life in alive releases by Paul McCartney. It was featured on the following live albums: "Tripping The Live Fantastic," "Tripping The Alive Fantastic: Highlights!" and "Back In The US." Duets of the song with Billy Joel appeared on Paul'south album "Proficient Evening New York City" and Billy Joels's album "Live At Shea Stadium: The Concert."
