This was the Beatles fourth single
in Canada in 1963 and it was the first single to break the
group nationally. Paul White's gamble finally paid off. She
Loves You was a great track and I'll Get You was a great
flip side too. The Beatles released a total of five singles
on Capitol in Canada during 1963, and for many Canadian
Beatles fans, She Loves You was the one record that started
it all. Who In Canada knew in 1963 that this group would
evolve all the way through to the finale of The Long And
Winding Road in 1970 ? Arguably, She Loves You was the most important Beatles single ever issued in Canada. But while the disc was originally released in mid-September 1963, it did nothing chart-wise for a staggering three months. The original 45 that was issued in Canada was actually "dubbed" from a black-label Parlophone "factory sample" 45 sent over by EMI in England to Paul White at Capitol Records Of Canada in Toronto. RCA Victor studios on Mutual Street in Toronto did the dubbing at Capitol's request and RCA created a unique Canadian master. The initial batch of 1,000 copies were pressed in early to mid September 1963 at RCA Victor's pressing plant at Smiths Falls, Ontario. Approx. 200 of these records were sent as promotional copies to radio stations across Canada, with the idea that those targeted stations would play the 45 in order to generate local interest. According to Capitol's Paul White, there was very little interest in the 45 upon its initial release. The disc did not see much chart action until December 1963. The Beatles' She Loves You 45 on Capitol did not chart in a major way until December 1963. After that, the disc was re-pressed to meet demand. For sleuths of the first batch of September 1963 pressings, these original "no dash" copies would have been shipped to stores in a black glossy stock Capitol sleeve. The later re-pressings of the disc (from December 1963 and onwards) would have been shipped to stores in a mat black stock Capitol sleeve. Both labels list Northern Songs Ltd. as the music publisher. Some 1963 to spring 1964 issues have no dash in the matrix while others have a "...-2". Capitol 72125 was the first Beatles disc to hit the number one spot in Canada. It was this 45 that broke the Beatles in Canada. It went "Top 5" on Toronto's CHUM chart for December 23rd, 1963, and this was more than a month before they appeared for the first time on Ed Sullivan. The chart below shows that the Beatlemania Lp and the new Roll Over Beethoven 45 were also on the CHUM chart by this time. (from "capitol6000.com") |

Issued on December 9, 1963. It has
been postponed from the originally planned release date of
November 25, 1963. This release was intended to promote the
Beatles first Canadian LP Beatlemania! This was the frist
time that Capitol of Canada (Paul White) selected the A and
B sides of a record. It was such a popular 45 that many
copies were shipped south of the border. This single was not
dubbed from a UK record, but instead was prepared in Canada
directly from the master of the UK With The Beatles album
sent over for the Beatlemania! album, hence the «CC» for
(Capitol Canada) prefix in the matrix numbers. All copies were issued in a plain black non glossy sleeve. According to "capitol6000.com" Here are the Top 10 things you need to know about the FIFTH original Canadian Beatles single on the fiftieth anniversary of its release in Canada. 1. It was the fifth and final Beatles single to be issued by Capitol of Canada on its new 72000 series of 45 rpm discs during 1963. 1st was Capitol 72076 - Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You (February 18th) 2nd was Capitol 72090 - Please Please Me / Ask Me Why (April 1st) 3rd was Capitol 72101 - From Me To You / Thank You Girl (June 17th) 4th was Capitol 72125 - She Loves You / I'll Get You (September 16th) and 5th was Capitol 72133 - Roll Over Beethoven / Please Mister Postman (December 9th) As such it completed a perfect run of five great 1963 Beatles singles selected by Capitol`s Paul White for release in Canada, and this was amazingly before any Beatles single had been released by Capitol in the USA. 2. It was the very first Beatles single in North America to differ from a British Parlophone coupling. The second single to differ from its British pairing would be I Want To Hold Your Hand / I Saw Her Standing There which was issued by Capitol USA in January 1964. 3. Both sides of the single were pulled from the album Beatlemania! With The Beatles. The primary purpose of the new Beethoven single was to promote sales of the very first Beatles album in North America, ahead of the Christmas 1963 gift giving season. 4. All copies of the single were pressed for Capitol of Canada by RCA Victor at their Smiths Falls, Ontario pressing plant. 5. This was the first Beatles single that was NOT dubbed from a British Parlophone single. Both Roll Over Beethoven and Please Mister Postman were tracks that were mastered from the imported EMI tape reel containing the tracks for the album released in Canada on November 25th, 1963. As a result, the CC prefix was used on the label and is an acronym for Canadian Capitol. The four previous Beatles singles issued by Capitol during 1963 had been dubbed from a Parlophone record sent to Capitol in Toronto from England and had all used the EMI prefix 7XCE. 6. Oddly, neither side was penned by the Beatles, so sales of the disc in Canada probably did not add too much to Beatle bank accounts. But two American song writers, Mr. Berry and Mr. Holland, were not complaining. 7. Thousands of copies of the single were exported to the USA to meet Beatlemania demand in early 1964. American juke box strips like the one pictured above were prepared for the thousands of juke boxes all over the USA (NOTE - image of juke box strip appears by courtesy of Andrew Croft). 8. The Beatles played the song in their Vancouver set-list when they appeared there in concert on August 22nd, 1964. That was, of course, the very first concert they played in Canada. 9. Canada was the first country to issue a Beatles single that featured a George Harrison vocal on the A side. 10. The song opens side 2 of Beatlemania! With The Beatles. It makes a second appearance on the third Canadian Capitol album Long Tall Sally. It makes a third appearance on the only EP the Beatles issued in Canada. |
