MY REVIEW


This album by The Beatles is one of my top five favorites from them. This record features some tunes that compete with the much later Beatles tunes for greatness.
The record starts off with the McCartney tune "I've Just Seen a Face" which is a good track. It is followed up by the tune John Lennon wrote about an affair he had "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)". featuring George Harrison playing the sitar on the first Beatles tune. The album continues with great songs such as the Paul McCartney songs "You Won't See Me", "Michelle", and "I'm Looking through You" and the John Lennon tunes "The Word", "Run for Your Life", and "Girl" (which Lennon says is the worse song he ever wrote because he had to write one and that is the one he did)
This record shows where The Beatles are going and their music is making drastic changes to reflect where they will be in a few years.
