About

From Wikipedia:

On 26 November, over a month after the release of the first single, the Beatles returned to Studio 2 to record their second. They also performed an original composition, “Tip of My Tongue”, but Martin was unhappy with the arrangement. They never recorded it again and, instead, gave it to Tommy Quickly, another artist managed by Epstein. “Please Please Me” and “Ask My Why” were mono mixed at an unknown time on 30 November, in Studio 2. An edit and stereo mix of “Please Please Me” and a new mono and a stereo mix of “Ask Me Why” were made on 25 February 1963, in Studio 1, for inclusion on the mono and stereo Please Please Me albums.
