I wasn't sure what you were talking about but then I did hear was sounded like an electric mandolin at 1:10.

Always happy to listen to the Beatles, but I don't think that was a mando.
Are you talking about the opening chords of "Please Please Me" after a raucous version of "Twist And Shout?" That's either a poorly recorded electric piano or a poorly recorded piano. Or some other keyboard, still poorly recorded. Man, that's two minutes I'll never get back!

Finders Keepers, my duo with the astoundingly talented and versatile Patti Rothberg. Our EP is finally done, and available! PM me, while they last!
It starts exactly at 1:10:47, in a cheesy version of Please Please Me.
McCartney sings "...make me sigh, girl" and there is a
descending acoustic mandolin lick sounding something like this:

--2---5-3-2------------------
-------------5--etc----------
No one thinks that's a mandolin?! Its even got the 'out of tune
mando overtones'...

Sounds like a guitar to me, played up the neck. I don't hear that distinctive double string tone. Sorry.
But I tell you what - Next time I see Paul (yes, he doesn't mind me not calling him "Sir Paul," or at least has never said anything about it to me), I'll ask him about this.

Sounds like a guitar to me, too.
FWIW, I've combed The Beatles Gear and The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions over the years and never found any mention of any mandolin at any Beatles sessions.
Sort of surprising, given the lads' obsession with all manner of instruments--acoustic and electric, their familiarity with American roots music, and the presence of mandolins on other contemporaneous British pop tracks, but I can't find any evidence that our eight-string buddy ever made it into the Fab Four's arsenal.
Just one guy's opinion

Just goes to show how insignificant our beloved instrument is in the great realm of things.
Then again, The Rolling Stones used mandolin, at least once. And they got a real mandolinist to play it, too. So there! Maybe The Stones WERE better than The Beatles ...

id say
that's no mando, that's a plinky ricky, using the rick o sound output
made even more so by some vox, at quarter volume
while no expert, I know beatles stuff pretty well,
never seen mando, or heard mando
and I would have noticed, cos I was interested and playing mando as early as 68
ukulele per George, yes, mando , no
cant imagine why, out of the blue, it would show up here as an anomaly
mando or not, always a joy to listen to the Beatles! I bought the Hal Leonard "Beatles for Mandolin" book recently - even if they (meaning George) never played one, their stuff can translate nicely to mandolin.
No! No! No! Listen again! I heard, "turn me on, dead man," and "I buried Paul" quite distinctly!
