With The Beatles [VINYL]

Maravilloso álbum, una buena remasterización.

Everything about this cd is fantastic, I love the Beatles and i'm so glad i got this. The sound is amazing the quality is amazing even the case is something out of another world!

With the Beatles... Here's my first 180 gm Vinyl LP, "With the Beatles", Parlophone Records, June 1963...Analog Stereo, 33-1/3 R.P.M recording by Parlophone Records, its the UK Release edition, not US Capitol Records, Release edition...ah, hell lot of memories attached with this Record...finally holding it.....just as it would be 53 years ago in 1963... At 180 gm pressing am sure, can even hear my breath in that Recording...some things just get better with Time... ."It won't be long yeah", "Money", "All my loving"...still remain one of the best songs Lennon wrote..a lot of original material is there in this which is not covered fully in this group's later Album like "Help", "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver"....."A Hard Day's Night" movie and the Album is more mainstream and leaves their cavern and club style of playing ...but 1964 demarcates a shift..I guess President Kennedy assassination of 1964 changed the mood of people up till that point, due to which everything reflects that shift and change from early 1965 onwards, and so even the group's music too in Albums like "Revolver", "Rubber Soul"....et al..this Record tries to capture the energy and spirit of the group before all of this and successfully does so...these are the songs that I would hear to before I begin my day with... With The Beatles...

2nd Beatles album, great songs. Starts with John on it won't be long, All I've got to do and All my Lovin', George has a superb guitar solo on All of my Lovin', Don't bother me marks debut of George as a composer. Little Child has George Martin on piano, till there was you comes from the Music Man, Please Mr. Postman comes from the Marvelettes Motown, Chuck Berry Roll over Beethoven is one of the most requested items at concert performances. Hold Me tight features Paul, the Miracles You really got a hold on me is featured with Martin on piano, Ringo is featured on i wanna be your man, hammond organ is played by John, the Donays Devil in her heart with Ringo on maraccas, Not a Second Time is double tracked John and Money is a worthy climax to this cd. Great cover black and white photo cover by Robert Freeman and great black and white inner liner photos. This was the first LP to sell a million records and it stayed in the top twenty for 51 weeks. Excellent Beatles cd. Highly recommended.

Superb stereo remaster of my favourite Beatles' album of all time. Highly recommended if early Beatles is your thing. Would buy again. Their first album "Please Please Me" (already purchased from Amazon) my 2nd favourite. My only criticism is the packaging Amazon are using for shipping. It is hit 'n miss for vinyl records. My first copy arrived with a curve bent into the flat packaging so that the vinyl disc was bowed and warped from exposure to bottom load crush possibly exacerbated by Qld summer heat. It was a turntable tonearm tracking disaster like riding the crest of a wave twice per rotation. The flat packaging might be adequate for across town capital intracity suburb to suburb, but is too susceptible to potential damage when transported by road via the multiple distro centres and delivery handling of Australia Post over Australian distances in my opinion. i.e. 2500km Vic to Qld in this instance. I had to request return for replacement which I'm pleased to report was handled well and promptly by Amazon's system. The replacement album sent in the same packaging was received in good order. Fingers crossed the next I'm waiting on (Help! on backorder) arrives OK.
