Please Please Me track listing
February 11, 1963: John Lennon had a particularly heavy cold, clearly indicated by his between-takes chatter on the preserved session tapes. So how did they keep going? Norman Smith (EMI recording engineer) remembers. 'They had a big glass jar of Zubes throat sweets on top of the piano, rather like the ones you see in a sweet shop. Paradoxically, by the side of that, was a big carton of Peter Stuyvesant cigarettes which they smoked incessantly.' [...] John sang lead vocal on Arthur Alexander's 'Anna (Go To Him)', recorded in three takes.
