Interestingly, although this article says that the song appears on A Hard Day's Night, it's not in the track listing there!
Here's what I think might have happened. She Loves You was recorded long before the album or film A Hard Day's Night, and released in the USA as one of the Beatles' first three singles, all of which flopped in the USA. It wasn't released on an album in the UK until 1973 (the Red Album), just as a single and an EP. However, in the wake of the film, all sorts of funny things were released in a hurry, nobody thought the US popularity would last and everyone wanted to make a buck while it did. I'd guess that there was a version of the album A Hard Day's Night released in the USA with She Loves You on it.
Now, what to do with the article?

The Beatles perform She Love You in concert in the film A Hard Day's Night. It is not on the Hard Day's Night album. Fashoom ( talk) 03:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
The story about the German recording session was copied from I Want to Hold Your Hand, which is jarring. Which song was it that this anecdote applies to? If it was the same session, that should be made clear in both articles. Tempshill 00:32, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The lead section was recently changed to state that this song was the second time "Lennon/McCartney" had been used. As far as I know and looking at my sources, it was the first, and I have not seen anything that contradicts this. Unless a source can be provided, this information will have to be discarded. Also, the added statements that the song was "indisputably one of the most famous singles ever made" and "many consider it as defining the early Beatles" are examples of weasel words; corroboration from sources is required.

In the episode "Don't Bug The Mosquitoes" on Gilligan's Island, "Gilligan" made a reference to the song by singing "yeah yeah yeah" to the Skipper when he said, "no no no!"
Yeah yeah yeah is one of the most repeated lines of nothing in all popular music, and I'm sure if someone looked it could be proven that the Beatles weren't the first to use it.
I'm a little unsure if the Stereo Remixes section should read as it does. Although it was quite nice of him to do the mixes, Dominick Giammarino is not a notable figure in Beatles history. I think a little vote is in order. We all have toyed with Beatles songs over the years. *

What's with the weird wording about the songwriting? - "written by the Beatles, credited to Lennon/McCarthy" - why not just "written by Lennon/McCarthy"? - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 13:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
"The lyrics were largely unconventional" Interesting statement when it's (one of?) the first pop songs to be in the third person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.43.78 ( talk) 19:53, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
The rare covers uncovered at http://www.tommcmahon.net/2008/08/jolly-what-aust.html to accompany the paragraph about the Jolly What! album. Would these be allowed to be put here aswell? 82.176.160.13 ( talk) 14:50, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
That’s Maureen isn’t it, Ringo’s missus, standing next to him during this clip ? (bollocks - can’t seem to successfully add this link!) Go onto YouTube and type She Loves You Ready Steady Go. She’d be his girlfriend then, so was probably trying to look anonymous - otherwise she’d get all her beehive pulled out! -- Patthedog ( talk) 18:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
The accepted story, according to Lewisohn and others, is that, while The Beatles recorded "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" by overdubbing new vocals onto the original backing track, they recorded "Sie Liebt Dich" from the ground up, since the original master tape of "She Loves You" was discarded. In fact, David Haber lays out a convincing case that "Sie Liebt Dich" was recorded in the same manner - new vocals (and lead guitar) on the original (albeit slightly sped up) backing track. The basis of the argument is that the backing tracks of both songs are too similar to have been recorded separately. Story here.-- 74.64.55.65 ( talk) 19:06, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
The paragraph about Swan records releasing the German version, in the US, contained this fragment, a non-sequitur as it stood:
After buying and playing a copy of the German single, credited to Die Beatles.
I've stuck it here in case anyone knows enough to work this back into the article properly, and cares. Ale And Quail ( talk) 08:29, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
I once heard an interview with Ozzy on youtube in which he credited this song for inspiring him to become an artist. He said something along the lines of "As soon as I heard "She Loves You" on the radio, I knew I wanted to be a rock star". I've looked everywhere, but I can't find the video again... Could I still add it to this article? You'reNotMyBrain ( talk) 21:32, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Oops, my mistake. You wrote about albums replacing each other. I was thinking the singles chart.dnsla23 22:43, 28 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dnsla ( talk • contribs)
I think the official live version from the album "the beatles at the hollywood bowl" should be mentioned in the article on the same section the anthology 1 version is mentioned. it was recored on august 23 1964, on the first of the three hollywood bowl concerts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.61.41.101 ( talk) 04:03, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
The Composition section includes the following quote:
"They sort of finished on this curious singing chord which was a major sixth, with George [Harrison] doing the sixth and the others doing the third and fifth in the chord. It was just like a Glenn Miller arrangement."
I don't know what they sang when they showed the song to George Martin, but on the recording they did NOT sing the third (B), fifth(D), and sixth(E). Instead they sang the fifth(D), sixth(E), and root(G). I will find a source that has the correct information and revise the article as soon as I do. John Link ( talk) 17:03, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
I've added a sentence that correctly identifies the final three sung notes and will provide a published source as soon as I find one. John Link ( talk) 18:52, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
