According to wikiepdia Jet Harris was involved in a car crash in September 1963 which ended the partnership. It seems Harris was unable to play guitar for some time afterwards.

In one step The Beatles capture #1. Only RR, surprise surprise, denies them that accolade.
Jet Harris and Tony Meehan enter with Applejack, a third brilliant and much loved record by me, then will vanish into oblivion.I believe they split up which is a great pity as their three '63 hits were all masterpieces to my mind.

I would put that down to crap charts not that Beatlemania had not taken off.
-
Yes the sign that Beatlemania had not yet taken hold is that it didn't enter at number one.
I don't know when the master tapes disappeared. They couldn't find them when they wanted to make a stereo version of She Loves You for the 1966 Oldies LP, and it appears the tapes were already lost when they recorded the German version because they had to redo the backing as well as the vocals - whereas on I Want To Hold Your Hand they only needed to overdub the vocals.

'She Loves You' seems to be the point at which true Beatlemania was born. They were popular before the single was released but this seemed to be the single that took them from being popular to the next level.

and here they come again .. the tidal wave that will be The Beatles chart domination over the next few months begins as She Loves You crashes onto the chart shore at #7. It will go to #1 next week for the first of two spells there and will remain in the top three until January 1964, and I can always say, I saw it happen

Inexplicable that EMI lost the 'She Loves You' master tapes, even before a stereo mix had been made.

Yeah highest in NME and Disc, as its probably the 'advance order' inclusion factor again.

It is more noticeable when RR lags on risers, but there are some maverick RR positions there on fallers too ...
Brian Pool at 7 (10 in the others)
Crystals at 8 (12-14 in the others)
Brenda Lee at 15 (23-26 in the others)
Meanwhile, 'She Loves You' released 23rd August.

It appears the BBC tiebreaked in favour of the Twist And Shout LP, as it was rising and Confessin falling. Both scored 12 points.

RR was doing an EP chart at the time! The BBC could have simply used that. That way they would have got the EP's charting.
Such as Gerry And The Pacemakers EP which reached 34 on MM and was 2 behind The Beatles at number one on RR.
Looking at the JULY releases on 45 Cat at least five EP's would have been selling well by the time of above chart.

Yeah, but the points themselves are not the problem. It's the allocating of those points to every record outside of the RR top 30 arbitrarily whether they were 32, 37, or not even in the top 50. Twist wasn't charted as an EP on RR so you can't just pull no 31 out of the bag for it. That methodology is just inaccurate.

Twist and Shout by the Beatles could never had made number one at that point in time. It would have to knock off the top She Loves You! Let's face an expensive EP wouldn't knock a cheaper single by them off the top.
Even as I think T&S was a better track and dated better than She Loves You.
