this was The Fab Four's third UK studio album...i refer to UK because it seems everyone else mish-mashed their albums with different tracks,different titles etc to suit their own country's needs and wants in the early years to catch up on two years worth of missed material i guess???
anyway, this was the first Beatle album whereby Lennon/McCartney(or should that be McCartney/Lennon?) wrote every song.
great,great harmonies on this album as was the case with their earlier albums when they were a band who liked eachother!
also, this album contains their first attempt at studio trickery in the double tracking of Macca's vocals on the beautiful ballad "and i love her",mind you, they werent the first rock artists to do double tracking...that was first done by Buddy Holly in the late 1950s.
theres really not much to criticise about this album, its a good solid album of early 1960s pop/rock and the tracks that only scored a 'like' rating from me could quite easily have got full marks,its simply impossible to knock anything they released IMO except that stupid "yellow submarine" album.
no need to put up links for any Beatle album as im sure we all know the songs...except Jerome who does not own one solitary Beatle album...shame on you J-man, shame on you!
