@@mondegreen9709 I once ran into Linda Hamilton at a nerd convention in New Jersey. She told me that "You're Terminated, F***er" was her favorite Beatles tune.
I honestly think it's in the running for their best album...it's the most pure distillation of the greatness of their early work...all Lennon/McCartney, all songs catchy with beautiful harmonies, upbeat, of the moment, timeless...energy off the charts. It's the album my older sister gave me at 10-years-old and said to me, "memorize the words of this album and you will be cool forever." For a kid growing up in the 90s, that didn't exactly prove to be true at the time, but she gifted me an eternal coolness that comes with just having the Beatles as a bedrock in one's life.
That's interesting to hear from someone who grew up in the 90s, way after the Beatles split. I was 14 when Beatlemania hit the United States (1964). But I didn't become a Beatles fan, and a passionate one at that, until after the group disbanded. Their music is timeless.
“A Hard Day’s Night” sometimes gets overlooked now because of later Beatle masterpieces like “Rubber Soul”, “Revolver” and “Sgt. Pepper”. Yet this was the peak album of the initial stage of the band. Sixty years on, the excitement and energy of the early Beatles was captured on it, and still sounds fresh to this day.
@@caryheuchert something similar to Help! but A Hard Day's Night is a better album even "fillers" like I'm Happy Just To Dance With You, I'll Cry Instead or When I Get Home are actually good the fillers in Help! like Act Naturally and Dizzy Miss Lizzy aren't to good but in the end they are covers
@@alancruzdominguez5074 This is my opinion if they had put If You Got Trouble instead of Act Naturally and then Yesterday as the closer and leave off Dizzy Miss Lizzy then it would be an absolute masterpiece.
One of my fav early Beatles songs. So much so I recorded a cover of it the 90s. The only cover I’ve ever recorded. I do originals. It was nice to hear Andrew saw John thought of highly of it. I think it’s incredible. “You better hide all the girls, I’m gonna break their hearts all around the world” still gives me goosebumps. What a great breakup record
I absolutely agree that this is one of their best albums. I've always thought that "Revolver" is the best, but whenever I decide to listen to all of the Beatles albums in order of release, as soon as "A Hard Day's Night" plays, I always think, wow, that is an unbelievably great album. The fact that all of the songs were originals, the energy level, and that particular time in the Beatles' career makes this album tough to beat. As a side note, being an American, my exposure to this album was always the US version, until CDs came out in 1987. When I heard the UK version, I couldn't believe what a great collection it was. And, with today being Ringo's eighty-fourth birthday, I have to say, "Peace and Love"!
in 1968 I was 6 years old. My dad was a minister at a church and I guess either he or my mom had told people that I loved The Beatles. One evening a man from the congregation visited us and brought me his copy of the US release of A Hard Day's Night. I couldn't believe that he gave it to me, and I couldn't believe I actually owned my own album! I loved every song including the instrumentals, and it is still my favorite album. My copy is now framed and hanging on the wall. The gentleman that gave it to me did not understand the enormity of the gift he gave me. I am forever grateful.
This is the album which I gave as a gift for my very first girlfriend. She loved it. A curiosity: here in Brazil it was titled "Os reis do ié-ié-ié", which means "The kings of yeah yeah yeah". The cover was like the UK version, only with a red color instead of blue, and only mono. Years later it was released in stereo. Good times...
My introduction to The Beatles, in 1964, as a six year old, was A Hard Day's Night, the US version. A family friend came for dinner together with Beatle wigs for us kids. It was as if he landed from a trip to Mars with the latest news of the universe. Amazing!
The movie was like a breath of fresh air; there'd never been anything quite like it. Even though I only saw it much later on the big screen around 1980, you could see why it captivated people at the time.
No question, it's their best. Every song pure genius, no duds. Plus they were still hungry, passionate, heads not yet scrambled by the stronger drugs. And it arose out of a magical time - the 60s just opening up. A genuine treasure.
George Martin's 'Ringo's Theme' is my favorite of his instrumentals that appear on a Beatles albums. Great video Andrew. Thank you for all your hard work. It is much appreciated. Cheers, RNB
It's my personal favorite. This is the Beatles at their most hard-rocking. Not diluted by covers or the dullness of fame, it's Beatlemania at its peak.
I’ve been saying for years to anybody that would listen. AHDN is an underrated masterpiece that deserves to be recognized as one of the top 20 rock albums of all time, The best album of rock’s early era, and I rank it as number three among Beatles albums.
Right on Andrew ! Bought my first records in late 64 - 'I feel fine" and 'Hard Day's night' EP I was 14 and it solidified my love of the group. I was 14 at the time and I wore those 45s out, esp the EP which prompted me to get the LP some 4 months later. My favourite album of theirs too, I have always said if you wanted to show young people what all the fuss was about play them this album ! it shimmers and rocks and all the great music to come is previewed right here. Indispensible
I grew up on the US version of this album, which of course included all the movie instrumentals. It wasn't until 1987 when the CD versions all the albums came in the UK format, that I realized how strong of an album A Hard Days Really was. Some of the non-movie tracks like Things We Said Today and I'll Be Back were very strong tracks. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
This (plus the Long Tall Sally EP) is the group's finest hour when they were the Moptops. All killer, no filler. It's an album that should be talked about more. The energy, the excitement -- and as a guitarist -- the guitar tones, especially the Rickenbacker 12-string. The tracks that were remixed for the 50th Anniversary Red Album shows what a good remix will be able to do if/when Giles gets around to it. And I agree with you, the 2009 mono CD is the way to go digitally for this one. Another fine video, Andrew! One of my favorites you've done!
If you think that's bad, look up his negotiating skills with Beatles merchandise. Lost the Beatles over $1 million. He did the same negotiating with Beatles merchandise. "What is a fair percentage from sales and merchandising?' he asked. Nicky Byrne ended up rich, Brian and The Beatles were given a mere pittance.
To be fair to Brian, there had never been a phenomenon like The Beatles. Elvis was in the ballpark but the craze for all things Beatles was insane in 1964. I'm sure he wished there had been a blueprint for him to follow but he was cursed to be in the vanguard of pop merchandising.
@@nolarobertI also think the amount of rejects they suffered in the early days probably affected Brian Epstein’s judgement. I think he was scared of looking greedy and turning off the investors, even at this point in the game….. He was excellent at marketing the Beatles and he surely got them a lot of gigs. It’s really unfortunate he wasn’t too savvy in the financial side of the business.
My first Beatles Album was the United Artists version of "A Hard Day's Night". Because "Tell Me Why" was the second song on side one, following the title track, I think that's why "Tell Me Why" still is, to this day, a top 10 favorite Beatles song for me. The flow from the title track into "Tell Me Why" just seemed to blend so perfectly.
A hard day's night will always have a special place in my heart. I was only 6 at the time of release, so it was many years later i first saw the film. I would watch it on TV with my mum . Years later i would watch it on VHS with my children. Probably my son's first cd. Musically their finest moment of stage one of their career. Favourite song off the album If I Fell. Timeless.
The new stereo mixes from the 2023 red album are pretty good. Can’t wait till they do the rest of the album Also the 4k criterion collection of the film is amazing
@@WilG082 Totally agree. I can't wait to buy the future boxsets: Help, AHDN, For Sale, Rubber Soul. It's like a dream becoming reality. Last years red album was excellent, although the Magical Mystery Tour songs stood out for me (besides I'm The Walrus). - Marjet
Gracias a los subtitulos, me estoy enterando de muchas cosas interesantes de The beatles, todas ellas fascinantes,gracias ,y saludos desde TARRAGONA (España)
There's quite a lot of Beatles content being cranked out on RU-vid these days. As I was watching this newest Parlogram video, I still feel like no other Beatles content creator even comes close to what Andrew does. This series of videos is becoming a library of the best, most informative, and most watchable content that exists on The Beatles .There's a fine line between teaching, and entertaining, and the Parlogram videos perfected the art of doing both at the same time. Or maybe it's just the hat and the grin. Either way- This is the #1 place to be for Beatles fans.
The UK version is consistently in my Top 5 Beatles albums. One year, RU-vid Music said it was the album I listed to the most, actually. It’s spectacular, and “I’ll Be Back” is, arguably, my favorite Beatles song ever.
I've been saying that this is John Lennon's greatest accomplishment. He conceived of the Beatles, brought the group together, and with A Hard Day's Night, album and movie, they became bigger than Elvis. This is the ultimate fulfillment of the Beatles Mach I image and music. Of course I love most of their albums equally, and had the pleasure of introducing a young lady at work to Abbey Road this week, but they were more collaborative and Paul took the lead. A Hard Day's Night is as perfect and classic as the Eiffel Tower, or a '67 Mustang. Great job, Andrew.
John Lennon’s greatest accomplishment is 1966/67: Imagine writing Strawberry Fields Forever, I am the Walrus, A Day in the Life, All You Need is Love, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds all in one year. Can’t beat that
My wife and I went to a showing of AHDN in Tucson, AZ in 2014 for the 50th anniversary of the film and record. The movie was digitally cleaned up and restored and the soundtrack as well for the re release.. I had tears in my eyes watching this as it should be, on the big screen with a sold out house. It was magical and I was partially transported back in time. I was 5 and a half when it was originally released, but, I remember listening to them as a child. So happy I was alive to take the ride and still relive it. Thanks!
I was eight in 1964, seeing 'A Hard Day's Night' for the first time with my big sister. The effect of the movie on me was profound, as it was again at a 10th anniversary showing. As a healthy lad of 18, my reaction to seeing the girl with Pattie in the dining car was, "Who is THAT?" Long story short, Prue Bury has been a dear friend for the past fifteen years.
Prue did not go unnoticed by me either. I probably saw the movie for the first time in the mid 70s. I was in my teens. Much later on, after the internet forced itself into every corner of our lives, I image searched for the lovely brunette who played Pattie's friend in the movie. This was made difficult since I did not know her name at first. But searching on "Pattie Boyd", "Hard Day's Night" did yield the desired result. More importantly, I learned her actual name! And I learned that although she was playing a high school girl in the movie, she was actually 22 or 23 during the filming, and, if I remember correctly, married.
@@jimcharles9705 Prue's future husband, Terry Hooper, played the croupier. Contrary to what Terry said in a DVD interview, it was Prue who got Terry the part. They married about a year later, before moving to New York to help Mary Quant with her business in the states. Prue was one of the models who introduced the miniskirt to America on September 1, 1965. Extra fun fact: Prue is an extra in the Dave Clark Five film, "Catch Us If You Can" aka "Having a Wild Weekend".
I recently had the pleasure of seeing the film at the Curzon cinema at Clevedon, England. It was using an actual celluloid copy and not a digital projection. This album has always been my favourite early Beatles album.
It’s my understanding that the United Artists soundtrack versions are the same early mono mixes as used in the film, needed for the studio scenes, whereas the UK mono version had more polished mixes. I owned an original 16mm reduction of a UK 35mm print , which included the BBFC certificate, but had to sell it for financial needs.
The UA soundtrack only includes the And I Love Her single track vocal mix;the rest are as on the Parli edition for the mono.The CapiphoneUA based soundtrack corrects this and rather includes the exclusive film mixes of HDN and Tell Me Why,(i.e,as heard in the original mono 16mm film presentation.)
Andrew, that famous opening chord was also MY introduction to The Beatles. In my case, it was the US soundtrack LP, which my eight-year-old brother had just bought. Though I had only recently started walking, I was already fascinated by records and especially by rock music, so when I saw Jon pull out a just-bought album, I asked him who it was; he replied "The Beatles", and I thought that was a strange name (thinking of bugs). Then he handed me the cover, and I thought that was even weirder - did these people not have mouths?? THEN he put the record on the family's Motorola Hi-Fi [sic], and that chord almost knocked me over (literally). I've been a Beatles fan ever since.
I had a similar introduction. I was seven years old and going through my mom’s record collection. When I came across her copy of the US soundtrack, I was intrigued enough to put the record on their turntable. I was stunned at the opening chord, but as the song continued, I was hooked. Although I consider the UK release to be my favorite of their works, but I hold the US release In high regard too. Not only for the proper introduction to the band, but I also enjoy the instrumental tracks from the George Martin Orchestra.
@@charlesolver303 i didn't hear the US A Hard Day's Night soundtrack until when was released in CD in 2014 and is actually good the instrumentals are better than those on Help US soundtrack
Another great story. Thank you very much, Andrew! I was about 10 years old and lived behind the Iron Curtain. I wasn't interested in any music at all and never tried to sing. But I really liked football and England, especially since I was 8 years old, I attended additional classes in English. My father was a big fan of English-language pop and beat music, and one day my older cousin gave him a magnetic tape with a recording of this album. When they turned on the tape recorder I was shocked by the first chord. I've never heard anything like it. And each subsequent song didn't allow me to stop listening. My father and I listened to this album for a week and our admiration grew stronger every day. Then I noticed that all the songs have completely different beginnings and endings. Then I went to visit my cousin for a couple of months and he showed me the record itself. When I picked it up, I was surprised that there were 20 photographs on the front cover. This upset me, because I already knew that a regular group should consist of 4-5 people. And 20 people is already an orchestra and it wasn't fashionable. And I asked my cousin: “Why are there 20 of them?” And then I received a slap on the head from him with the words: “Are you stupid? Don’t you see that there are only four of them?” Thus began my acquaintance not only with the Beatles, but with music in general. It's priceless! I remember spending hours looking at the back cover, reading and trying to understand words I didn’t know. When I returned home with photos of the Beatles that my cousin had given me, I made small replicas of their guitars and drum kit. My father was so surprised by them that he bought me my first guitar. And it all happened thanks to the Beatles. A year later, I saw a television broadcast of World Cup matches from England for the first time. And England became champions! But that is another story. And I still enjoy listening to this album. NO FILLERS!
The opening scene of the movie is so damn cool, from George falling during the chase to the disguises that foreshadowed their future appearances. Genius.
Top-notch as always and thank you for this look back on the album that brought me back to The Beatles! My early 2000’s high school years were spent studying the likes of Nirvana, Elvis Costello, The Beach Boys, Sonic Youth, and R.E.M.. Although I had loved The Beatles since age 9, listening to my dad’s U.S. vinyl of Revolver over & over and spent a few years listening to everything I could, I hadn’t really listened to them much since I was 12 or so. Flash forward to age 17 and I randomly decide to buy A Hard Day’s Night on CD one night. I went home, listened to it, and my mind was blown all over again. The craft, the beautiful economy of the performances of these killer songs, just heaven. It jolted me back into the joyous enjoyment of Beatles tunes in a big way and for good. “To the toppermost of the poppermost!” Thanks again.
When I used to listen to this record when I was a kid, I was always fascinated by 'When I Get Home' and 'You Can't Do That'. There was something about John's voice that was so raw and urgent, I really listened hard to the words and I'm absolutely sure The Beatles helped my linguistic development. What a record, what a band.
Don't forget Paul's voice crack thats cut out on the stereo version of If I Fell Lol... Ive commented several times on your videos how much I love the early Beatles the best and this is one of my favorites. Grew up listening to the CD version in mono so when I switched to Spotify in 2016, the newer mixes threw me off. My aunt gave me her 1964 US copy when I was a kid. Then about 5 years ago, I found a mono UK copy from 64 and ordered it all the way from Britain. It sounds amazing. Another great video. Thanks Andrew!
The album is definitely best heard in mono. The only thing I would add is that the US mono albums have the best mix of And I Love Her, which can be found on the United Artists soundtrack and a Capitol album version that followed it. In that unique mix, Paul's vocal is doubled only in the choruses. For the verses, it's a standalone vocal track. For me it makes all the difference in making that tune so beautifully brilliant. Additional edit after watching the end of the video. It seems like I'm not the only one who shares that opinion. LOL 😅😅
Thank you for validating 2010-me's decision to shell out for the mono box set all these years later! Really wish I didn't have to crack out the CDs to hear them though. It saddens me that so many people's only experience with these songs is in rushed stereo form.
I remember buying a copy of the United Artists version of A Hard Day’s Night in September 1984 at a local record store and played it endlessly. I always loved Tell Me Why particularly. I still love the album cover. I know the UK version is better and offers good value for money but I will always have a soft spot for the U.S. version. Thanks Andrew!
Loved this video, Andrew as I learned a lot of new things about the film and album! A Hard Day's Night is one of my favourite Beatles LPs since it has a lot of energy and all the songs were written by John and Paul. I grew up with the original mono album and I can remember having to queue up to see the film when it was released!
Ya.. i would say he was the MVP on Rubber Soul (My favorite album). And his stuff on Double Fantasy is second to none. He was killed in his ABSOLUTE PRIME. But A Hard Days Night is his first "finest hour". From a stone cold genius who had MANY "finest hours" so to speak
I still have my cousins original mono United artists copy she gave me back in the early 1970’s when she was moving and every time I see it I recall great memories of growing up with her back in the 196’0s and for that reason it will always be my favorite. Time and distance has separated us and sadly I don’t know if she is still alive but I will always have the fabulous memories of her and her sister babysitting me and playing this fabulous music when it first came out ( one loved John and the other loved Paul so they fought constantly 😂😂).
I had the American United Artists version of A Hard Day's Night back in the day. There was a misspelling of Tell Me Why on the record label. It said Tell Me "Who." I absolutely loved the single-tracked McCartney vocal on And I Love Her. That's the only version I prefer to listen to. A Hard Day's Night, along with Let it Be, were the first two videos I ever bought on VHS in the early 80s. Great memories, and as always, great upload!
Absolutely the original UK Mono vinyl or the 2009 Mono is superb... Thank you for another great informative video!!! I look forward to their release every week...
Paul obviously was the leading force in the band from Sgt Pepper’s to Let It Be. But John was absolutely the driving force behind the “Beatlemania” years. And this album is the absolute peek of Lennon’s dominance.
@@georgelucas2571 John was the driving force in Please Please Me to Rubber Soul in Revolver both John and Paul and even George are the driving force but in Sgt Pepper to Abbey Road
If you know your sources well, you will know that Paul was the driving force behind their huge breakthrough hits From Me To You, She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand. John and Paul are equally balanced on their biggest-selling and best early album With The Beatles although it is Paul's All My Loving that is best known. They are also equally balanced on their first album. Paul has more to do with their fourth. John dominates A Hard Day's Night and Paul collapses in a heap for Help! To me John's best period is 1965 - he absolutely and deservedly dominates Help! with Paul only coming up with one decent song I've Just Seen A Face, although he finally managed to put a lyric to a tune he created 18 months earlier, Yesterday. John is again much better than Paul on Rubber Soul - Paul comes up with only one really great song, Drive My Car, and again, an ancient tune of his, from when he was 17, is resurrected to become Michelle. Paul finally starts to dominate on Revolver with five of the Beatles' greatest songs.
That was their peak, but only for Beatles Mach 1, "Beatles as very talented but generally orthodox pop band." Help was transitional, bringing in more diverse and adult themes to their music, and from Rubber Soul on, they flowered creatively in ways no pop band had before. Their legend and lasting influence is based on Rubber Soul through Abby Road. I would say Revolver and Pepper mark the height of their creative powers.
Nothing orthodox about them in this period. They created the paradigm that became orthodox for everyone else.. I hate the tired millennial/zoomer cliche of how they were a "boy band" when they first started... as if.. and then went on to be great when they became more experimental..
@@christopher9152 Help is in between beat, rock 'n roll, pop etc from the Beatlemania era and the more mature folk and diverse sound from Rubber Soul onwards
Half of abbey road is unfinished songs thrown together. Lennon hated that aspect of it. I think the medley is superb and a work of art. For a long time, as a kid was my fav Beatles album, still top 3 with white album, rubber soul. AHDN is their first masterpiece and it plays incredible. Fav song…I’ll cry instead.
My brother was 17 years my senior and he bought the Brazilian Odeon version of a Hard Days Night (MOFB 299) in 1964. That was the first Beatles record I've ever heard. I still have it, and I checked the matrix engraving on it: It's XEX 481 and it is also printed on the blue and silver Odeon label. My brother passed away in 1997, he was responsible for me being a Beatles fan since I was two years old! Very often your channel brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for that, Andy. God bless you.
As a kid in the mid 1980s, the albums Help! and A Hard Day's Night were my favorite Beatles album from hand me down cassette tapes. I had 3 of their other albums also on cassette tapes. By the time I was a teenager Revolver and Sgt. Pepper had become my favorite from their album catalog. By then I bought their entire album collection on cassette tapes to enjoy a better sounding 1990s cassette technology. Later I had my Anthology album series, and I was also given a pre-loved Live at the BBC CD set. It was at this point I started loving the songs from A Hard Day's Night again. Even non-Beatles fan who love music seem to like the songs from A Hard Days's Night the most. They even know the lyrics of a few songs from the album. Like Paul McCartney said in many of his interviews something like, "you know a song is good if the listener can easily recall the melody of the song and most of the lyrics." I think most people know the melody and lyrics of the whole Side 1 of A Hard Day's Night. I cannot wait for the release of A Hard Day's Night remix by Mr. Giles Martin. I also can't wait for your next video content as they are always topnotch. New info, new perspective and very enjoyable to watch.
Another wonderful video, Andrew! Two more reasons why the UK Mono is the top choice is that in the stereo version, Paul's voice "cracks" before the last verse in If I Fell. The American stereo release only has true stereo during the instrumental tracks; the Beatles tracks were rechanneled mono tracks.
I'm 62 years old and have loved Beatles music since I could remember. I never fully understood British humor and "inside jokes", because I was raised in California. But I love hearing these stories like the "Cliff Richard Musicals". I never knew that! It would be cool if someone were to review the movie and tell you what's going on throughout the movie. (Like towards the end of the movie John states "Look at the Birds"...
First! Hehehehe.... I have the Miramax version of the movie on DVD. I find that version very good. It is good to know that the original 1960s mono pressing is not expensive. I plan to get one. Another great video Andrew!
In 1964, when I was 11 years old, I heard the Beatles for the first time on my cousin's record player. "A Hard Day's Night" - B side: "Things We Said Today" and "I Should Have Known Better" - B side: "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You" (this was the Turkish pressing). I can't never forget that moment and The Beatles have been in my life ever since. Later, I bought the German/Odeon pressing LP and I'm listening to it now and I think it's the best album of the early period.
Great video! AHDN is one of my favorites as well. A family friend gave me her Beatles albums here in the US when I was around six or seven, and they came in a couple at a time. I'd already fallen in love hearing Meet the Beatles and Help!, but there was something special about that bright red cover of AHDN, the energy of the songs, and even hearing the mix of vocal and instrumental tracks. I was already a fan, but somehow getting this record for the first time gave me that surge of Beatlemania enthusiasm that still propels me today :)
I rewatched the movie with some friends yesterday in celebration of the 60th anniversary. Such a classic. ^w^ I also listened to the original UK album a few hours beforehand, and it's still a very good album. I personally really like the new 2023 mixes, but the mono mixes were always great.
Dear Andrew, I've been watching lots of your videos these last years and learning a huge amount of fascinating things from them. So first of all, thank you so much! I decided I had to chime in to tell you this really is one of your best. Keep up the fabulous work, the obvious loving care, the insightful approach, and the ever-welcoming, friendly, honest vibe you always bring. It's been a joy and a privilege from this side. All the best!
When I think of the Beatles, I imagine them in that period of time. I enjoyed the film and love the album. Thanks, Andrew, for this comprehensive video. 😊
Very comprehensive overview of the busy schedule of The Beatles surrounding the recordings for "A Hard Days Night". I can't imagine another artist of ANY genre who could've matched their creative output. 😊 Kudos to Maureen Cleave.
Another great video, Andrew. Not HDN-related, but I've got a good story. In the early 1980s, a neighbor of mine told me that his first date with his wife was at the Beatles Washington Coliseum concert in February of 1964. He said that the tickets were impossible to get, but a family member managed it, and they were way in the back, right next to the exit doors. It had apparently snowed during the concert, and when it was over, he and his date were the very first ones to leave. He told me that just on the top of the new fallen snow was a 20-dollar bill, which he bragged paid for dinner, the taxi ride, and the tickets to the show. :)
Great video. I grew up with the American version in the 70’s. While today I prefer the UK versions as the ‘real’ ones, the instrumentals on A Hard Day’s Night and Help! have the power to immediately transport me back to my youth. That album plus the (very) occasional showing of the film on TV in those pre VHS days just fueled my imagination of them and Beatlemania and what their lives were like. Of course by the time I was thinking about it a decade or so had passed since the release. Today the album is pretty much entrenched in my top three behind Revolver and Rubber Soul. And at least I’m clean. (Are ya?)
There's a tendency for people to disregard the early Beatles albums, but A HARD DAY'S NIGHT is my favourite Beatles album. The albums that followed may be more influential in terms of production and thematic substance, but here it's all about the songwriting -- no studio tricks, just classic songs, impeccably delivered. Much of the material has an engaging innocence that's perfectly suited to the charming and "life-affirming" movie as warmly reviewed by noted film critic Roger Ebert. If you're in need of a pick-me-up, THIS is the album to reach for! (Special shout-out to George Martin for his gorgeous and exquisite instrumental arrangement of "And I Love Her" for the North American Sound Track lp!)
A Fab 4 Fabulous Essay/Review of my (...and I purchased this superb LP upon its US release) favorite album by The Beatles!!! Thank you for this extremely well-made, detailed Beatle-U-tiful review!!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
One of their Milestones. I think it's the most balanced Album they made in terms of Quality, just like you say No Fillers just Killers. Over the years I'll be back made it to my personal Top 10. How is it possible that the Fabs conquered the world and being so busy every day and then to make such a great Album filled with only Lennon/McCartney Originals and no Covers which the other Bands were still doing?
Andrew is brilliant. I just love the way that he formats these videos and how much effort he puts into them. He is one of the reason that I at 11 years old got into the Beatles. So I just want to say thank you to him.
Hi Andrew, Thanks for an awesome video. A Hard Day's Night is a favourite of mine too! My Dad bought me a cassette of the album back from his holiday in Yugoslavia in 1990! I later found a mono copy of the album which has an awesome energy!!!!
