When Beatlemania took hold in early '64, EMI, corporate parent of the Beatles' UK label, was asked by their German affiliate that the band re-record a few of their hits in that language. Though it wasn't really necessary, they agreed to do so while in Paris for a series of shows. Here, the boys re-did "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by dubbing vocals in German over the original backing track. "Sie Liebt Dich" or "She Loves You" had to be done from scratch, as the master tape had been erased in a cost-cutting move. At the same session, BTW, they knocked out "Can't Buy Me Love" - in English.
