 Written on June 13, 2007 Summary: Please Please Me Good luck on locating these Russian CDs. Exceptional material, sound, and stereo separation. Written on May 5, 2007 Summary: AND ... THE DREAM STARTED Welcome to the birth of Beatlemania!!! this was the first shock that the most popular musical group made to the world! their first example with very powerful and magnificent songs, from the "1,2,3,4" in I SAW HER STANDING THERE (wonderful rock'n'roll song) to the romanticysm of DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET; this disc has the great hit LOVE ME DO, The very strong rock of TWIST AND SHOUT, many excellent covers like ANNA GO TO HIM and BABY IT'S YOU, the Ringo's debut as a singer in BOYS, the beautiful ballad P.S. I LOVE YOU and their first No.1 hit in UK charts PLEASE PLEASE ME; if you don't have beatles records or you are beginning to meet this group, you have to buy this cd first. ¡Enjoy the birth of the Modern Music! Written on April 8, 2007 Summary: Let the magical mystery tour commence This, The Beatles debut LP, was released in the UK in the spring of 1963. In my native Toronto it was released as Twist and Shout in February, 1964, two months after With the Beatles! My vinyl release includes From Me to You and She Loves You and omits I Saw Her Standing There and Misery. The liner notes are completely different from the UK and the US LPs. Has any band launched its album career more auspiciously than The Beatles? Paul shouts "1 2 3 4", George enters the picture with his guitar, and then Paul begins to sing "Well she was just 17. You know what I mean..." Thirty seconds later the first loud "Whooooo!" Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts for the commencement of a six year musical ride of this or any other lifetime. There are eight originals and six covers - a pattern continued with their next LP. I have always felt that the covers here are more interesting than on With The Beatles. There is a miss-step (Honey) just as there would be later (Till There Was You). However, John's searing rendition of Twist and Shout more than makes up for that lapse of judgment. They also do a terrific job with the two Shirelles' songs, Boys and Baby it's You, making the songs their own rather than just parroting the original material. The original material is mostly very strong. Has anyone noticed that on the cd the credits for their own compositions are McCartney-Lennon while on the vinyl (my vinyl anyway) there are five where Paul's name comes first and three where John receives the lead credit. It is amazing what one discovers forty-three years and two months after buying the album! On With the Beatles all eight are L-M on both the record and the cd. The emergence of the Beatles in 1963 was a seminal moment in the history of popular music. From that point forward everything changed. Suddenly, and seemingly from nowhere, rock and roll groups (the word "band" didn't replace "group" for several decades) appeared. They certainly looked different. They played their own instruments and wrote much of their own material. They sang with abandon. They screamed and they whooped and they hollered. They had strange accents. As much as I loved, and still love, the professionally penned hits that seemed to dominate the early sixties ( Goff in-King, Lieber-Stoller, Neil Sedaka and many more) popular music had somehow lost its way after the mid-fifties when rock and roll burst upon the scene. It seemed as if we, the young, had discovered a form of music that we could call our own and then had it appropriated from us. The Beatles grabbed it and gave it back to us. Our parents were once again forced to start shaking their heads in bewilderment. As long as parents continue to do so music is on the right track! As a record of immense historical importance Please Please Me deserves the highest rating available. It deserves its own category. Had the Beatles never released another recording this would deserve five stars. However, we all know where they went so quickly and what they were capable of. And there is the fact of six covers and A Taste of Honey! If I give this five then what do I give Rubber Soul? Five with and asterisk? Four and a half seems appropriate Written on April 6, 2007 Summary: A 1...2...3...4! In 1963 the greatest band rock'n'roll ever produced released their first album Please Please Me. It's not their best album ( listen to Sgt.Pepper and the White Album) but it is a nice collection of rock'n'roll in its ealrlist form. I Saw Her Standing There is a fast upbeat rock type of song that is one of my favorites. Please Please Me is another good song and it is their first #1 hit in England. I'm 13 yrs old and it's still fun to listen to this CD when I was a growing 9 year old. Written on March 16, 2007 Summary: And then came The Beatles.... I lived in England and I had my 15th birthday a month after 'Love Me Do' was released as a single. I first heard it on a short-wave radio broadcast on Radio Luxembourg, from the other side of the English Channel. At that time the only radio available in England was the BBC, which had 'Pick of the Pops' on Sunday afternoon and that was about it for pop music. I loved this bouncy, fresh sound, which was unlike anything else in pop at that time. In January 1963, 'Please Please Me', the single, was released. A few weeks later, the Record Mirror said 'Wow! The Beatles challenge.' as they went from #16 to #3 in one week. By April, The Beatles were grabbing the imagination of every teenager in Britain. The debut album, 'Please Please Me', was released, went to #1 in the album chart and stayed there for 29 weeks until it was replaced by 'With The Beatles', the boys' second British album. In America, Bobby Vinton had the last number one hit ('There! I've Said It Again') before The Beatles hit the US charts in a way never seen before or since. This album is an historic milestone in popular music. It established so many new features that changed music forever. First and foremost, it was the first album produced by a young pop band where the artists wrote the majority of the songs- 8 of the 14 were originals. These days, it's hard to remember that this just didn't happen back then. Second, this was a white, British band not only playing real rock and roll, but writing it, too. 'I Saw Her Standing There' opened a whole new vista for bands all over the world. Third, the variety on this album is amazing- rock, pop, ballads, harmony songs, even adult contemporary. Nobody else had even attempted to cross boundaries in this way. Fourth, this was an album where all the members were featured- not a lead singer with the rest backing him. All four band members sang lead on at least one song, and it was clear from the start that the band had two completely different but complementary lead singers, both of whom sang rock and ballads. Fifth, this was an album that sounded as though the band was performing, as indeed they were. No lush strings, no overdubs, no backing singers other then the group members. It was the band's record, not the product of the producer. Finally, this was the first record where the personality of the band was as important as the songs. The Beatles were uniquely and distinctly themselves- they sounded like no-one else and no-one ever sounded like them. They turned popular music from the property of the studios to the property of the artists. Every singer-songwriter recording today owes a massive debt to them.. I was there. I heard them at the start of their recording career and followed them until they broke up. I was a member of their fan club. I saw them live, at their first Christmas show. I'm not sure it's possible for anyone who didn't live through it to understand exactly how tremendous the change was that they wrought and how all-encompassing their popularity and influence were. They changed, not only music, but broadcasting, fashion, culture- the way of life in the Western world. This was the album that started it all and for me every track is a memory of a time when things changed forever. Pop music was a minor, largely ignored part of youth culture- and then came The Beatles. |
