criticism

After the success of the first work" Please Please Me "in March 1963, the Beatles published in November 1963 its second strike under the title" With the Beatles ".

Unlike the debut album, the Beatles took samples on "With The Beatles " period, not the singles from the album. Three singles were released in the atmosphere to " With the Beatles'" From Me To You / Thank You Girl, "" She Loves You / I'll Get You "and" I Want To Hold Your Hand / Thank You Girl ".

All three singles are non-integral part of the album and should therefore be treated here at this point any further. However, one must note in advance that the release time was the same and that you have to expect this time in terms of style and songs on this album.

With " I Want To Hold Your Hand " had Beatles wrote their first U.S. number 1 and had thus made the breakthrough permanently in the United States. And music was "From Me To You " and "She Loves You " brilliant achievements have been.

" With the Beatles" would certainly be more interesting and also subsequently been given more attention, they would have built the album around these powerful songs.

The album itself, that in the Rolling Stone ranking of the 500 Greatest Albums of all time, in 2003, landed 420 square (for comparison: "Please Please Me " had room to 39 - were the three Singles that were created in the same period have been used on the album would be listed among the top 100 have been quite realistic), is raised similar to the Predecessors.

It starts with a strong own work. While coming "It Will not Belong " not to the strong opener "I Saw Her Standing There " approach of "Please Please Me ," but he still is one of the best songs of the album.

The end of the album is kept similar to the debut. Ended the first album with the thunderous " Twist And Shout " disappears and the successor with a rousing cover version: " Money (That's What I Want) " - one of the favorite songs of John Lennon - at this time .

On "With The Beatles " has been chosen to a mix of original compositions and cover versions (as on "Please Please Me " in the ratio of 8 to 6).

But never again should the Beatles bow so deeply to black music. The cover versions are, to the musical song "Till There Was You ", sung by McCartney was and an integral part of the live repertoire was American numbers.

Both "Please Mr. Postman " and "You Really Got A Hold On Me " and said "Money "Are classic black music.

"Roll Over Beethoven ," the live actually sung by Lennon has been given to " With the Beatles' George Harrison to . The song, originally by Chuck Berry , rips go wild and reveals a much more assertive Harrison on vocals, as on his first on a plate published Beatles song "Do not Bother Me " which also one of the best songs of the album.

Both "It Will not Belong " and "Do not Bother Me "shows the Beatles in playing mood, and they show that the Beatles were formed, that the music was more important with each piece.

"Hold Me Tight " that actually have to "Please Please Me " included, it was not used, and "All I've Got To Do " show up as solid compositions, but against the two main actors of the album, they can not be maintained.

The songs to it is " With the Beatles" are turning McCartney's "All My Loving " - to the Lennon once said he wished he had written it because it was so successful - and that derived mainly from Lennon " Not A Second Time .

" All My Loving " is clearly one of the strongest Beatles songs on this phase and McCartney had already indicated with " PS I Love You " earlier that year, proved here his songwriting skills .

Better still, the guitar Lennon in the background and the solo from Harrison highlight the song, they make him more than a mid-tempo love number and are already here, where to go the route.

should only half a year later to report back to Beatles with her first film " A Hard Day's Night " and its accompanying album (with the same title), and present their best album of the first 4 to 5 studio works.

"All My Loving " already know this path and also "Not A Second Time " already shows the professionalism - the "A Hard Day's Night " should mark the end.

"Little Child " lives on Lennon's harmonica and the most unusual and colorful game shows on this instrument, on a Beatles plate.

" Devil In Her Heart was Harrison left to sing - which takes over therefore the same for three songs on this album the main vocals - while for Ringo Starr the song" I Want to Be Your Man " remains.

" I Want to Be Your Man " was the beginning of November 1963, about 3 weeks before the release of "With The Beatles " by the Rolling Stones who were then still relatively unknown, gecovert as Single entered the market.

self it took the Beatles too and it published here.

What is a closer look at the work? " With the Beatles " is a part, not the spontaneity and the trailing live feel from its predecessor " Please Please Me " approach and the other, it can achieve the professionalism of the successor " A Hard Day's Night " not yet.

It has a thankless position in the overall structure and loses its luster in the overall view of the publications.

to make things that one does not, the singles of the time packaged with the album.

is Still "With The Beatles " a solid work and it is both a tribute to the stars for which we looked up, the black artists in America, with songs like "Roll Over Beethoven ," "You Really Got A Hold On Me "or" Please Mr. Postman "and a future review on what you yourself did, namely, professional songwriting as the highest level," All My Loving "and" Not A Second Time .

addition, "With The Beatles " with "Do not Bother Me "the first George Harrison song. And by " I Want to Be Your Man " bring the Beatles a song that you had before the Rolling Stones made available and it shows that the future quarrels that arose in the minds of savvy media representatives to this time was not yet existent.

" With the Beatles" is recommended for all who want to understand the history of the Beatles who want to see, how did the way, where the Beatles had to go music.

Listen to: "It Will not Belong " "All My Loving ", "Do not Bother Me ", "Not A Second Time "

Midfielders: " I Want to Be Your Man ," "Devil In Her Heart "
