With over a million UK preorders, “I Want To Hold Your Hand” hit No.1 in December 1963, replacing The Beatles’ own “She Loves You.” Released as their first Capitol Records single in the U.S. with “I Saw Her Standing There” as the B-side, it topped the Hot 100 by February 1, 1964, sparking full-blown Beatlemania. Selling over 12 million copies globally, this reissue is cut from the original U.S. master tapes using an all-analog process on Capitol’s classic 1970 lathe.
