Yup, John’s delivery of that last line has always been a favorite of mine too!

That’s what came to my mind as well. On one envelope to Cynthia, it was even written by John “Postman Postman, don’t be slow! I’m in love with Cyn so go man go!”

Does anyone suspect that John possibly sung this to Cynthia? Seeing as he wrote a lot of letters during this time and the lyrics?

The same goes for me. This song is one of my all-time favourites, and can only compare its awesomeness to e.g. ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’. I especially love the way George, and Paul are singing the simple backing vocals. And despite they did not compose it, they could perfectly play it in my opinion. Personally, I like it much more better than for instance ‘A Day In The Life’ or songs like that, but maybe I am too young for that stuff.

Suprised there’s not more love for this song! John’s lead vocal is incredible and the harmonies a fantastic. Not to mention, its just an awesomely crafted pop song underneath it all.

Is there actually a lead guitar part on Please Mr Postman, as I can only seem to hear John’s rhythm part ?.

Good cover. In fact all of the covers on WTB are, IMO, quite good. In contrast, on PPM the covers seem pretty limp, except of course for Twist and Shout.

I was 7 years old when this came out, and I remember so distinctly imagining that it was OUR postman that John was singing to. Even now, 49 years on, the postman from my boyhood comes to mind every time I hear this song!

And I’ve always loved “Deliver de letter, de sooner de better!”

One of my favourite covers by the band. I love Ringo’s drum fill in the middle of the song.

I always liked this very much as a kid. I didn’t know though it was originally written for a Motown group. But since I also like most Motown this makes kind of sense.

There are handclaps in the intro and coda.
