The Beatles' albums in Argentina carried largely the same tracks as the UK editions, often with changes to the artwork and with titles translated into Spanish. There were also two unique Argentina-only compilations, released in 1965 and 1971.
Argentinian singles were made to be played at 33rpm. As with the albums, they were released on the Odeon label. The early singles were released under the name Los Grillos, which translates as The Crickets, but this changed to Los Beatles from early 1964. Again, the release schedule largely followed the UK one, with some variations. Every EP and all but two of the singles had unique picture sleeves.

"Porfavor, yo"?
"please, please me" es "por favor, compláceme"
Many years ago in argentina translations were made per word instead of the really meaning of the phrase.
Hello Bruce,
"Porfavor, yo"?
"please, please me" es "por favor, compláceme"
This album title was originally translated as "Por Favor, Yo", believeit or not!
Cheers

"Por favor yo" might have been translated like that because of censorship.
