The Beatles' Producer Scrapped George Harrison's Solo on 'This Boy' for a John Lennon Vocal

In October 1963, The Beatles had yet to break through in America, but they had gotten well on their way in the UK. The Fab Four’s momentum really picked up in May ’63 when their debut Please Please Me began its run at the top of the UK charts.

But those were still humble days in many ways. After recording the majority of their debut LP in just 10 hours, The Beatles made their follow-up (With The Beatles) in a still-brisk seven days. Compare that to, say, the five months they’d later spend on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
