Description
Recorded in between a cup of tea and a cigarette, this album is raw
yet dazzling. Here were four lads, highly experienced on stage, but
with little or no idea of what a recording studio was like. They
were subtly marshalled by the much-respected George Martin to
deliver an entire album that was exactly what the fans wanted, but
was still a surprise. Things were never as simple as this again,
yet the genius is there.Examples are Lennon's unmatchable rasping
on "Twist And Shout", McCartney's graceful ease in singing "I Saw
Her Standing There", Harrison's sparse but definite Gretsch chords,
andStarr's ace vocal on "Boys".
