I agree with that. The Beatles “arrived” in 1963 with Please Please Me, their first in a long line of No 1 hits. Their journey to that point is well known to fans but not to the general public at the time.
Likewise with the Shadows. Apache is what made everyone sit up and take notice.

i know there are varying views on this , but the guiness book of hit singles doesnt list Please Please me as a uk NO 1
