The legendary Beatles UK 2nd album, far superior to the USA pressing with completely different track listing, & more tracks...Without doubt The Beatles are the most important, iconic band in the world. In seven short years The Beatles changed the face of popular music. From the rock n roll beginnings of Please, Please Me through to the majestic swan-song of Abbey Road.
......................................................................................................
The Beatles 1963 2nd BRITISH album, and what an album(!), their confidence shows in the songs,this album transports you back to swinging sixties -- its foot tappin' fab Beatle music, even the covers sound Beatle, Lennon rockin his brains off.
So With the Beatles is a record of real generosity and integrity. And if the structure of the album is pretty similar to Please Please Me, the extra studio time is already starting to tell. On McCartney's romantic spotlight, showtune "Till There Was You", producer George Martin builds a wholly convincing soft-focus soundworld around Ringo Starr's bongos. The group harmonies on tracks like their rumbustious "Please Mr. Postman" are even more gorgeously thick. The way the drums rumble in on "Roll Over Beethoven" is a moment of simple joy.
And those are just the covers. With the Beatles starts with aggressive confidence, "It Won't Be Long" taking the "yeah yeah" chants that were the group's early calling card and turning them into missiles. We're back, it says, and it's one of their most thrilling songs. On "All My Loving" the guitars bubble and tumble and the band finds a new way to marry prettiness and drive. "I Wanna Be Your Man"-- Ringo's best early vocal-- has a wolfish, hustling urgency. Not everything the band tries, as writers or interpreters, comes off: draggy girl group revival "Devil in Her Heart" is an obscurity too far, and George Harrison wins a first songwriting credit for the Shadows-esque "Don't Bother Me", but it doesn't get much spark until the guitar solo.
As for "Money", well, there simply is no second "Twist and Shout" in the catalogue, but neither was there any shame in the Beatles trying. And it has its own thrills to offer: Less demonic and frenetic than that previous album-closer but by some way the heaviest thing they'd yet recorded, a quality the remaster brings fully out. Ringo's booming drums, John Lennon's sneer, and the others' banshee backing vocals all create an air of menace, repressed violence: the black leather and Bierkeller vibe of the band's 1961 proving grounds.
It's a superb way to end an album ...Yeah, the album has some VERY great underrated rockers (one of which is 'Hold Me Tight'... great song!) But what makes it nice and varied are two songs, 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' and 'Til There Was You' If you've noticed, there is not one 45rpm-single on here! But it does have some very well known songs, like one of the favorites 'Money (That's What I Want)' which closes this legendary album, but what opens it, is a little similar, exept without the piano -- one of the most amazing lesser known Beatles songs you'll hear, 'It Won't Belong', kind of superior to 'She Loves You' (Those little yeahs that George takes credit for shouting in the background). Another great little piece of music is 'Please Mr Posteman'(love that wait a minute, wait a minute part, but the whole song is great) that would have been a great show number if they bothered to play it live. So, that basically sums it all up for you, great rockers, groovy melodic ballads --inc'Not A Second Time', wonderful Song!
