Speaking of "Please Please Me", did the Beatles ever show more artistic grown in their studio material than they did between the "Love Me Do" 45 and that one?
Even the b-side "Ask Me Why" blows "Love Me Do" out of the water.

They sure seemed to mature fast. Even as musicians when comparing the Decca auditions and the first album (course nerves might have played a hand in that). And She Loves You was another giant leap forward.

Hmm, thanks for asking this. I worked with the sheet music and spent a good deal of time on analyzing this (I'd say "too much" but I'm working on learning my 12th-15th Beatles songs on the guitar, so it really fits in well)...and I came up with some surprising insights, though I won't post them here, as they make me sound like I don't like the Beatles and I do (I'm one of the few people old enough here to remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and who fought with her mother over going to their concert, etc.)
I will say, I think The Beatles, the white album is the best for three reasons. First, it's their maturer work, with better lyrics and a wider variety of songs. Second, it's twice as long, and twice as much Beatles must be a good thing if I like them. Third, it has arguably the best ballads by all three songwriters, John's haunting Julia, George's While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Paul's Blackbird.
