Fourteen freshly recorded titles-including many sure-fire
stage-show favourites—are featured on the two gener-
ously filled sides of this record. The Beatles have repeated
the successful formula which made their first ‘Please
Please Me' LP into the fastest-selling album of 1963. Again
they have set eight of their own original compositions
alongside a batch of ‘personal choice’ pieces selected from
the recorded repertoires of the American R. & B. artists they
admire most.
The first half of the session gets away to a rip-roarin’ start
with John’s powerful treatment of IT WON’T BE LONG NOW.
Two more Lennon/McCartney compositions follow with
these two remarkably talented tunesmiths handling their
own lyrics on ALL I’VE GOT TO DO and ALL MY LOVING.
On the first slower number John takes the vocal lead with
Paul supplying the harmony. On ALL MY LOVING Paul
stands in the vocal spotlight with John and George chanting
in the background. Listen to George’s superb, slightly
Country and Western guitar solo, an intriguing feature of
ALL MY LOVING.
DON’T BOTHER ME marks the disc début of George
Harrison as a composer. It is a fairly fast number with a
haunting theme tune. Behind George's double-tracked voice
the rest of the fabulous foursome create some unusual
instrumental effects. Paul beats out a lean, hollow-boned
rhythm from the claves, John uses a tambourine and Ringo
hits out at a loose-skinned Arabian bongo (don't ask me
where he picked that up!) to pound out the on-beat per-
cussive drive.
On a fair number of previous recordings by The Beatles
producer George Martin has joined the group to add suitable
piano sounds to their instrumental arrangements. His
keyboard contributions come a little later in this new pro-
gramme but on LITTLE CHILD it is Paul McCartney who
plays piano. John and Paul join forces for the vocal on this
rocker and, whilst Paul was over-dubbing the piano bits,
John was standing beside another microphone adding in
some neatly-timed mouth-organ phrases.
Those who considered Paul’s interpretation of A taste of
honey to be a stand-out attraction of The Beatles’ first LP
will be more than pleased to hear him assume the role of
romantic balladeer again on TILL THERE WAS YOU, the
near-standard hit from the show ‘The Music Man’.
Ringo plays the bongos behind Paul's solo performance,
George and John switch to acoustic guitars for this track —
only Paul's pulsating bass uses electricity.
If you have read a great deal in the musical press about
Merseyside's beat basement. The Cavern, you might
imagine that the cellar stompers of Liverpool would demand
an all-up-tempo programme. Curiously Paul’s persuasive
handling of TILL THERE WAS YOU used to go down ex-

tremely well at the club long before the Love me do days
when The Beatles were frequent bill-toppers at this now-
famous venue.
The first half closes with another number which dates back
to The Beatles' Cavern Club period. Once an American
chart-topper for a recording group called The Marvelettes,
PLEASE MR. POSTMAN features a double-tracked John
Lennon with George and Paul in vocal support.
Chuck Berry’s ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN has been one of
the most requested items at recent concert performances by
The Beatles. George duets with himself on this one; the boys
add to the atmosphere of active excitement by their hand-
clapping.
Paul issues forth with the invitation HOLD ME TIGHT on the
fairly brisk second track of Side Two. More handclapping
and energetic vocal support from John and George.
The boys have an immense admiration for America's
rhythmic group The Miracles, to whom they pay tribute via
their interpretation of YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON
ME. John and George tackle the wild, relentless vocal with
Paul joining them for the chorus lines. Incidentally that
IS George Martin on piano this time!
Observing the tremendous audience response that Ringo
has been getting whenever he sings Boys, John and Paul
put their heads together to pen a special new number for
their fierce-voiced drumming man. The result is a real raver
entitled I WANNA BE YOUR MAN. The Hammond organ
in the background is played by John Lennon.
Though they are lesser known on our side of the Atlantic
than The Crystals or The Shirelles, the American all-girl
group The Donays have always commanded plenty of
professional respect from The Beatles. Therefore they
switched around the lyrics of DEVIL IN HER HEART and
handed this medium-paced beat offering to George Harrison.
John and Paul provide the harmony with Ringo using his
maraccas.
The final Lennon/McCartney composition of this session
features a double-tracked John Lennon singing NOT A
SECOND TIME. George Martin’s piano work is featured on
this number and again upon the programme’s closings
track MONEY. Paul describes MONEY as ‘a really big
screamer' and he recalls the numerous Cavern Club
occasions when this item brought forth the same type of
overwhelming response given to Twist and Shout. Much
recorded by American blues merchants, MONEY has John
shouting the raw lyrics with tremendous force and feeling
whilst George and Paul supply the answers.
MONEY makes a completely worthy climax to this knock-
out programme. Hope it doesn’t leave you too breathless
to flip back to Side One for a repeat-play session WITH
THE BEATLES. 　　　　　　　　　　TONY BARROW
