Biography

"The story began in Harold Macmillan’s “never had it so good” ’50s Britain. It should be fiction: four teenagers with no more than eight O’Levels between them, running and biking and busing and busking all over Liverpool in search of new chords and old guitars and half-decent drum kit and any gig at all.

They were determined to amount to something – in George’s words “we just had this amazing inner… Read more in Amazon's The Beatles Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Strummmmm! That dramatic guitar chord that kicks of A Hard Day's Night (album, song, movie) still jumps right out at you, slaps you in the face, and jump-starts your heart. And you know what? Both the music and the film are still as crisp and lively as they were in 1964. Of course, only the first seven songs are actually in the movie (and they are the strongest of the bunch, from the rousing rock & roll of title track and the hit single "Can't Buy Me Love", to the beautiful ballads "If I Fell" and "And I Love Her"). But nobody's going to complain about having songs like "I'll Cry Instead" and "Things We Said Today" in the second half of the record; they certainly don't feel like leftovers. Yet another high-point for John, Paul, George, and Ringo--four fab fellows who hit the highest heights imaginable. --Jim Emerson

Musical Brilliance 30 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
A Hard Day's Night is my favourite Beatle's album. The opening chord, one of the most recognisable in pop music, sets up an album which is full of classic tracks. The harmonies between Lennon and McCartney work perfectly throughout the album. The use of the harmonica on 'I Should Have Known Better' suits the song perfectly. George's guitar work on 'And I Love Her' helps make the song one of McCartney's best ballads. The tracks which did not appear in the movie are still great Beatle's songs. 'I'll Be Back' is a beautiful, thoughtful Lennon track which ends the album in style. The album stands the test of time and remains a classic.

An aural awakening 1 Oct 2009
By Alan
Format:Audio CD
Well after years of waiting we finally have all The Beatle's albums re-mastered and sounding as fresh as if they were recorded last week.
Back in 1988 the Beatles album collection was rushed out on CD to take advantage of the new medium which was rapidly consigning vinyl to history. Unfortunately it transpires that in the case of The Beatles collection it was more a less a transfer from analogue master straight to CD with little or no cleaning up or re-mastering. So much so that this album as well as Please Please Me, With The Beatles and Beatles For Sale came out on mono CD, presumably because there wasn't a good stereo mix available.
The resultant sound was only marginally better than listening to the original vinyl or cassette on a good quality music system.
So now we have the 2009 re-mastered and stereo version of A Hard Day's Night and it is a great improvement on the original mono CD. There is a clarity and space around all the music, in particular to things like Paul's vocal on And I Love Her as well as the Lennon/McCartney harmonies on If I Fell. Ringo's drumming and Paul's bass are more to the fore than previously, in particular on tracks such as I Should Have Known Better and the lively You Can't Do That.
It might be worthwhile taking a chance and up-dating your collection of the four original mono CD albums with the new stereo releases before investing in the remaining 2009 re-mastered albums from Help onwards which in fact were released on stereo CD back in 1988. If you never had any of The Beatles albums on CD or vinyl then now is your chance to find out why they were so popular, you won't regret it.

This is the Beatles' third album, and is the first one where every song has been written by the Beatles themselves. And what a good effort!

Not only does the album begin with probably one of the most famous Beatles songs ever, with that exact unidentifiable chord being struck to begin the highly-charged 'A Hard Day's Night', which came from a Ringo-ism, but this album also contains quite a huge number of songs that could quite easily have been singles and done very well in the charts - 'I Should Have Known Better', 'If I Fell', 'Things We Said Today' (which is one of my all-time favourite Beatles songs!) and 'I'll Be Back'. And of course the equally well-known 'Can't Buy Me Love' certainly does the album no harm.

There are quite a range of songs on this album - from the almost old-style rock 'n' roller 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You', to the quite Bluesy 'I'll Cry Instead', to the love ballad of 'And I Love Her', and this album really does show the true potential of the Beatles as songwriters as every song has something to offer.

This album is worth getting for the high quality of all the songs alone, but I think it is the first album the Beatles did which has so many potential hits, something which they pride themselves on in future albums.

In my opinion:

Best Song = "Things We Said Today"

Weakest Song = "Any Time At All".

The peak of the 'early' Beatles
Released in July 1964 and recorded using only a 4-track system, 'A Hard Day's Night' probably marked the peak period of the early Beatles. Read more

Great early album
The product arrived very promptly and was in excellent condition. My favourite era for the Beatles is 1962-1966 and this album which came out in 1964, I feel is their best one. Read more

Masterful Remastering
This was their first album of all self penned material. Their first film. A film which now has iconic status. An iconic band. The plaudits keep coming

Very short but consistently good.
This album runs to just under half an hour, so you don't get much for your money! However it's quality not quantity and if you're looking for a cheery, upbeat album this comes... Read more
