"Thank you girl" was the B side , however when the beatles re-released "Please Please me" in the USA Jan 64, "From me to you" was now a B side itself!

Congratulations
It was even more exciting live! One of my all-time favourite live performances...
I was there. :-) An appropriate response in a thread that's supposed to be about Beatles vs Stones.... because The Beatles were also on the bill.
This same clip was among the colourised stuff that had a link here a few weeks ago.

As well as Brian Poole and The Tremeloes, The Searchers, The Swinging Blue Jeans, Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Hollies, Cliff Richard and The Shadows, Billy J. Kramer with The Dakotas, Freddie and The Dreamers, (probably) The Dave Clark Five... all really great acts, but things would change drastically soon, with tougher, mostly London-based groups taking over. As it is, the only Rhythm 'n' Blues groups at this concert were The Rolling Stones and Manfred Mann (1965's concert included Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames, The Animals, The Kinks, The Moody Blues, Them, and of course, The Rolling Stones).

Beatle Paul
Rick Rubin has said Paul McCartney is the “best of all bass players” in a new interview.
Speaking to MOJO magazine, Rubin said he thought McCartney was the best bass player of all time and was surprised by the “simplest” approach he takes to songwriting. Rubin previously teamed up with McCartney on the 2021 mini series, McCartney 3, 2, 1. “I thought about how everything I’ve seen, Beatles-related, is either about the songwriting or Beatlemania,” Rubin told the magazine. “Paul McCartney the bass player, or Paul McCartney the musician, because he plays everything – that’s a little story told. “You just think of him as Beatle Paul, yet in my opinion, he is the best of all bass players, he’s number one.”
The producer went on to say how amazed he was that the 80-year-old music icon has the “simplest” approach to writing mega-hits. He continued: “What blew my mind was when he sat at the piano and he started showing me how to write a song. “He was saying, ‘See, you could it like this’, and what he was showing me was the simplest thing, but then he starts moving his fingers around slightly, and all of a sudden it evolves into ‘Hey Jude’ or ‘Let It Be’. He’s using this technique that any child could do, then it morphs into one of the greatest songs of all time!”

I'm trying to follow Rick's logic of Paul being the best bass player of all time, when after declaring that, he gushes how he plays 'all instruments' and then details how Paul uses the keyboard to write a song.
I'm not debating whether or not Rick is right, only that making that declaration he provides nothing to back it up.

I guess that inconsistancy and lack of good argumentation doesn't matter. What is more important is too see how happy Hairball is when is able to provide content in a Rolling Stones Forum to show how much better and important The Beatles and their principle members are, to prove again and again how stupid and wrong we Stones fans are by thinking differently.
