MY REVIEW


This album has a good mix of original tunes and covers. It starts off with a George Harrison sung cover of Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven", in which The Beatles do a splendid version. I feel that the best cover song done on this record is either this tune or "Long Tall Sally" sung by Paul McCartney.
The original songs on this album are typical early Beatles' songs such as "She Loves You" and "I'll Call Your Name". They show good harmony throughout this album and especially on the originals. This harmony quickly becomes their trademark in the rock industry.
