With The Beatles may be the least known and least talked about of all Beatles albums (if not Beatles For Sale.) It was their second album released after me Please Please so he has no privilege to be their first album. It was not the distinction of being their first truly great album formed (which was their 3rd album A Hard Night's Day.) But this does not mean that this is not a good album, it contains some classic Beatles.
It was ranked number 420 on the list of Rolling Stone more than 500 albums of all time released in 2003. The album was released in England in 1963 but was not officially released in the United States until 1987 as the first Beatles album in the U.S. have been cut paste job. It was not until Revolver album is even released in the States was published in Great Britain.
The album starts off "It Will not Be Long" which, while does not rank among the greatest songs of the Beatles is a pleasant pop song early.
The second song is "All I've Got To Do", which has a nice bluesy sound to it, including the title tune. Among The Beatles first songs most forgotten, is a keeper.
The third song is by far the most famous song on the album, "All My Loving." It was the opening song for the first performance of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan performance.
The fourth song is "Do not Bother Me" which was started songwriting of George Harrison.
The fifth song is called "Little Child". The first five tracks are all original Beatles.
The sixth song is "Till There Was You", which is a cover. It is a very sweet song that Paul McCartney in this music-hall "mode.
Next is "Please Mr. Postman" which is another cover. This was the first Motown song to reach # 1 when it hit the top spot for The Marvelettes at the end of 1961.
The eighth song (and the first of the second side of the album) is the classic Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven." It was a success for Berry in 1956 and has been ranked as one of the 100 greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone. The song George Harrison both as the lead singer, and of course as a guitarist best results of his impersonation Chuck Berry.
Ninth is the song "Hold Me Tight" is an original Beatles break the line 3 covers the right. The song was originally recorded for me Please Please, but has been left. He was re-recorded for the Beatles.
The 10th song "You Really Got A Hold On Me" which was a cover by Smokey Robinson. It was a unique success in 1962 the Miracles (featuring Robinson) and is another Motown song.
11 is the song "I Want to Be Your Man", which written by Lennon & McCartney for their friends the Rolling Stones. The Stones version was released first. The Beatles version is composed Ringo Starr on vocals.
The 12th song "Devil in Her Heart", which is a cover sung by George Harrison.
The song 13 is "not again", which is the last original Beatles on the album. It was written and sung by John Lennon (of course it was credited to Lennon / McCartney as all the songs written by Lennon / McCartney or were.)
The 14th and final song is "Money", another cover of a song by a black artist (the 5th of the album.) It was a unique achievement for 1959 Barrett Strong.
Even With The Beatles is certainly not one of the best albums of the Beatles, it's a fun listen if you're interested in their earlier material.
