Those few weeks were very important for them. They not only did the shows and have photoshoots, but they went into the studio in Paris and recorded German language versions of She Loves You and I Wanna Hold Your Hand. As there was still studio time they also recorded a new song, 'Can't Buy Me Love'. As if that wasn't enough, it was here that they heard that I Wanna Hold Your Hand had reached Number 1 in the USA and they were also joined by the writer commissioned to do the screenplay for their forthcoming film, who went around with them and decided that the film should tell the story of a day in their madcap life preparing for a show. From Paris they went almost straight to America and on their return, spent a week writing songs for the start of filming of A hard Day's Night. Incredible.
@@MusoMaker-SouthAfrica You tube and other places. There is a documentary on the making of Hard Day's Night in which Alan Owen describes going around with them in Paris. Interviews with George Martin describe them re-recording their two hits in German. Someone from the German company in Cologne turned up, having translated the lyrics and schooled them to pronounce properly. For some reason they had to make a new backing track for one ( I think She Loves You) and for IWHYH they used the existing track which George Martin had brought from the UK. There are photos of them having a mock pillow fight in the hotel room when they heard IWHYH was at No 1 in the US.. Having got back from Paris they had a bout a day before they left for New York.
I heard there were a lot more boys fans of the Beatles in Paris and that they preferred the wilder stuff they played. They didn't care much for the lovey-dovey songs the Beatles played a lot in their earlier years.
Thanks for posting apppproduction. My sister was in Paris at the time and fortunate enough to see the show. If only I could have.....!
Thanks for the nice live, George & Roll Over Beethoven
Very cool pictures at the Olympia. I didn't know they played such a long engagement in Paris. And then they'd go to New York and everything changed.

Great to learn the detail background to this Andrew. Where did you get all his info?

I'm a fan from way back and I've visited Paris twice. I wish I would have thought of visiting this location. I missed out. Boo!

I think John and Paul went to Paris earlier. They called themselves the Nurk Twins
