COMMUNITY REVIEWS

It Begins Here submitted by McCartney McCoy on July 28, 2015, 8:47am I love this album. For one thing, it's the Beatles' first (discounting their hodgepodge Hamburg recordings); for another, it's a great album musically. George Martin and the rest went into this project trying to replicate the Beatles' live sound as accurately as possible, and did a marvelous job, recording the whole LP in just 12 grueling hours at EMI Studios. In the last track, "Twist and Shout," John practically screams the lyrics in just one take. Poor guy lost his voice afterword, so a second take would've been impossible.

In short, an underrated gem in the Beatles' discography. Definitely worth a listen!

Please Please Me submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on August 13, 2015, 1:46pm I admit that at first the pop-ness of what I was already familiar with from this album didn't greatly endear it to me. But on subsequent listenings, I picked up on the covert (and overt) daring, sexiness, and complex energy it contains. "A Taste Of Honey" is slinky, experimental, and not to be missed.

hits and filler submitted by tisaallen on June 15, 2022, 10:37am The Beatles as a live band doing their early hits and some covers. High energy throughout, it captures the sound that first made them stars but isn't as compelling as their later artistic heights.

Okay, Yes, You submitted by Meginator on June 12, 2023, 11:51pm This album has a lot of energy behind it and feels almost like a live record without the additional distractions (which, apparently, much of it essentially was), which provides a great opportunity for the Beatles to showcase their many talents in a raw, less filtered context. The band’s genius is immediately evident and the album has a surprising amount of musical variety despite its generally coherent sound; their propensity for innovation is already present in their take on “A Taste of Honey” and in several of Paul McCartney’s basslines, and, remarkably, all four members take a turn as lead vocalists. The covers fit right in with the original tracks, giving modern listeners direct insight into the Beatles’ early influences, even if none of these are quite as memorable as the originals. You can already hear each of the members’ unique contributions to the group’s overall sound, and in retrospect the album feels like a solid launchpad for one of the most talented and influential quartets of all time.
