Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
They still had plenty of covers to fill out the running time, but the Lennon-McCartney writing team was gathering steam and beginning to knock out pop classics as if they were pulling them out of thin air. "All My Loving" and "I Wanna Be your Man" come from this record, issued hurriedly to capitalise on Beatlemania. But even when they were laying into some classic Chuck Berry, by this time the Beatles had acquired a unique sound in the blend of John's and Paul's voices, while George was coming on by leaps and bounds as a guitar player. While not absolutely essential, as a snapshot of a band in a place and time, With the Beatles is good for a smile. --Chris Nickson

No Four-Track Available, so STOP MOANING!,
By
This review is from: With The Beatles (Audio CD)
It's impossible not to love this energetic early offering. The Beatles own compositions are more assured than on the debut, showing how fast they developed as songwriters, and the cover versions are first rate. I defy anyone not to be swept along by the exuberant blasts through 'Roll Over Beethoven' 'Money' 'It Won't Be Long' etc. George makes his songwriting bow with 'Don't Bother Me', a moody, atmospheric piece that is very different from what Lennon/McCartney were coming up with, which helps to create slightly more variation on this album compared to the first. As for the new Remaster, it's very good but still a bit bass-light compared to other albums. A word to those complaining about the stereo mix still being left/right and nothing in the middle, it could not be done any other way. Contrary to what you may have read on this page by others, the Beatles did NOT have four-track facility for this album, they were still using two-track and consequently when mixing for stereo the music could only be seperated the way you hear it to make it stereo. 'Money' is the exception as it was impossible to create a stereo mix without synching two seperate two-track mono mixes together which is why it sounds very different to the mono. Because of this limited technology, a more palatable stereo re-mix cannot be done. It's unfortunate that the mono mixes are not being made available seperately but thats EMI for you.

Very Good,
By
This review is from: With the Beatles (Audio CD)
A much more accomplished album than their first with a very high quota of classics ("It Won't Be Long", "All My Loving","Not A Second Time"), very good cover versions ("Please Mr Postman", "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Till There Was You") and arguably no fillers - although "Little Child" and George's"Don't Bother Me" are perhaps not in the same class as the other songs. A worthy album to mark the start of Beatlemania!

A single-less collection of value and energy,
By A Customer
This review is from: With the Beatles (Audio CD)
The Beatles were into value for money. That's why they tried to not put singles on albums. In the case of With the Beatles, that's exactly what they did, and the result is an electrifying experience from start to finish. The powering intro-song of It Won't Be Long gains attention leading into a collection of songs from their early set. Highlights include Lennon's raw singing, Harrison's ace playing (an underrated guitarist who focused on music, not cheesy virtuoso playing-I hate "virtuosos" you're greasy and cheese-masters), Starr's perfect feel and McCartney's soulful singing and quality basslines. Regarding the tracks, Til There Was You is an awesome reproduction of a song from the Music Man musical with its timing and fab acoustic solo. The raw Please Mr. Postman could make a was dummy dance whilst All I've Got To Do shows Lennon feeling what he sings ("I'LL be there!"). You Really Got A Hold On Me stands out as possibly the best cover the fabs did whilst the closing track of Money is exhilirating. Put it on, press repeat all and listen to the raw early fab four displying, if not what they did live, then the energy they could produce even on record. Stunning.
