Ever wondered how 'Thank You Girl' would sound with today's clarity but 1963's spirit? This 2025 remix breathes new life into a Beatles classic — and reveals details you’ve never heard before.

Originally intended to follow 'Please Please Me' as the next A-side single, 'Thank You Girl' ended up becoming the B-side to 'From Me To You', recorded during the same EMI sessions on March 5, 1963. John's harmonica overdub would come a little later, on March 13. Originally titled 'Thank You Little Girl', this song highlights just how prolific the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership already was — they were producing so much material that even potential A-sides were being relegated to B-sides.

In this brand-new 2025 remix, one of the first things you'll notice is the centering of the main vocals. Paul McCartney’s harmony vocal stays positioned in the right channel, giving a new sense of air and openness to the vocal presentation. Rather than double-tracking John's lead vocal, Paul sang in unison with him, adding body to John’s fine performance — a popular recording practice of the era, even if, in my opinion, it wasn’t really necessary here.

Other meaningful remix adjustments are: the bass and drums have been moved to the center, with a gentle stereo spread applied to Ringo’s drum kit — floor toms slightly left of center, tom-toms to the right. Meanwhile, the guitar and harmonica stay true to their original positions.

That iconic reverb at the ending — practically a signature of 'Thank You Girl' — has been preserved as much as possible. Interestingly, this ending passage comes from take 13, which was edited onto take six. In the original stereo mix, most of the reverb was pushed to the left channel, but thanks to de-mixing, it’s now clear that some reverb was also baked directly into the vocals during the recording of take 13. Back in 1963, this clever use of reverb helped to create the illusion of space in a stereo mix that otherwise had nothing at the center.

If you lived in the U.S. during the early days of Beatlemania, you probably didn’t hear 'Thank You Girl' until 1964, when it was released as the B-side to Vee-Jay’s 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' single. A few weeks later, Capitol Records included it as the second track on 'The Beatles' Second Album' — but in fake duophonic stereo, even though Vee-Jay still technically held the rights. Vee-Jay had originally issued 'Thank You Girl' in the U.S. on May 6, 1963 as the B side to 'From Me To You', but with little success and very little radio play.

With these careful mixing changes from the original two-track recording, 'Thank You Girl' now enjoys a special new environment — one that has never existed before. I truly hope it brings you as much listening pleasure as it brought me creating it!
