COMMENTS 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. There is a name above "She Loves You" on the A side.
