With The Beatles (2nd album)

Thoughts? I think that the performances on this album are tighter than on their first effort, but the raw energy of "hey - we're making an album!" isn't there so much. Good stuff, and these songs generally have aged better on average. All My Loving, what a tune . . . and the covers are out of this world, well, apart from Devil In Her Heart, but still, Paul's bass on that rocks! My fave cover has to be "Till There Was You". Mmm . . . [8D]

Good b&w cover, good songs, it's a cool album. But I reckon that's not one of their best. I think until '64 with the single "I Feel Fine" and "Rubber Soul" after in '65 they were on maturing process
wether as musicians, singers or songwriters. The album highlights are to me: "All My Loving", "Little Child", "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Money" and "It Won't Be Long".

Peace.

Oh Yeah, All My Loving.
Cried like a baby when I saw Paul sing that one in May.
That song is so special, so beautiful.
And then while I'm away I'll write home everyday and I'll send all my loving to you.
And All I've Got to Do. That Lennon melts me right down to ground with that sexy voice.
And Roll Over Beethoven. Dear George.
As long as she's got a dime, the music will never stop.
My little jailbird, CB, wrote my life story right there.
The double tracked strong vocal in Not A Second Time.
What can you say- another brilliant album. Of course, here in America, we got the butchered Meet the Beatles. I am so glad those days are gone. Capital wouldn't dare nowadays. [:D]

Right on, AUJ. They stopped that crap, briefly, when pepper came out, beacuse they really didnt have a choice. The lyrics were printed on the back, and it was a concept album. Then they went and turned the EP MMT into a full fledged album by adding the 3 singles from 1967. Scamps!!!

Well the MMT album has become accepted as standard, so . . .

I have to say, I'm glad it's a full length album. One of my faves.

Aside from the fact that all the best songs are on the Blue Album, it is truly amazing!
