Seems ambivalent to rate I saw her standing there and Ringo Starr's amazing rock'n'roll shouter Boys (the most exciting thing he ever recorded as a singer as a Beatle) a 5 and Twist and shout an 8. Sometimes it seems a bit of context is missing. You haven't listened to enough music from the pop and rock'n'roll-scene, say, 1955-1965, to recognize the boost in quality, the freshness, that is transported by the Beatles' debut album. Yes, OK, it's understandable if one don't like one style or another as much. But it should be remembered, that the Beatles at first (the Rolling Stones and others in the next places) with these records got rid of people like Bobby Darin, Pat Boone and the many fabric softener rock'n'rollers and stuffy Presley imitators with their stuff of the early years. To illustrate this, I recommend comparing Pat Boone's cover of Tutti Frutti with the original by Little Richard. One more note about this time: the great rock'n'rollers had partially disqualified themselves. Presley was so crazy, that he voluntarily joined the US Army. He remained successful nonetheless, but musically and personally he became increasingly conservative. Jerry Lee Lewis married a minor and Little Richard and Chuck Berry also displayed questionable behavior. That's where the Beatles came in with their refreshing rock'n'roll and their exceptionally charismatic mentality of irreverence and high musicality. In my opinion, the cover versions on Please Please Me win any comparison with the original and the structure of the title track is completely new and unusual for 1963. The content of the record is basically the current live program of the Beatles in this phase and, as is often quoted, was recorded in a single day. When Please Please Me became a hit in the UK, it was competing with Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday, with tracks by the likes of Billy Fury, Bobby Vee, Paul+Paula, Frank Ifield, The Bachelors, Frankie Vaughan etc. The Beatles track was almost otherworldly in comparison, not to mention She Loves You, which came out a few months later and ignited the planet, or at least large parts of it, with Beatlemania.
The early beatles albums are old fashioned and represents where music was in 62/63, just off the back of 50's rock n roll. Its incredible how fast their music changed in just 3/4 years from here.
Agree a lot of the songs on this album and the next are dated now (for todays young people) but this album was no 1 for 30 weeks and replaced by there next album for 20+ weeks. So while dated ahead of others at the time.
Appreciate your honesty. But funny it's now one of my favorites 😂. And it spent 26 eeeks at number 1. Only to be replaced by there follow up. Which just shows everything in its context. It was all being invented at the time,yhere was no play book. And the opener is i think there best opener😮 well nearly 😊. Anyway love your perspective
@@RelivingHistory1 I've relistened to the album with the context of having heard their full discog and nothing's really changed, if anything it's shrunk on me a little bit. The album just isn't really for me
@@humanreviewsstuff I meant more about the impact it had on a whole generation of musicians in the early 60s! But obviously I understand that it sounds dated
@@humanreviewsstuff That is the problem with some reactors who start at the end of their career as a group and work backwards. It should never be done that way. Start at the beginning, you would have appreciated the evolving and progression much more. Especially in such a short time. 7 1/2 years of recording as a group.
It's always disappointing when you love a song and introduce it to a friend or relative and they go "meh" or actually don't like it. But everyone has different tastes and that's just the way it goes. I suspect that most fans, if they rank all the Beatles albums, would put this near the bottom, though still say they like it. And I just want to put it in a plug for John's rhythm guitar on "P.S. I Love You" - I think it's quite unique and interesting.
@actionic135. I really don't put any of their albums at the bottom. I love ALL their periods. Maybe it's because I was 16/17 in 1964 and heard them as they were released and immediately could see the progression. What album I listen to, or singles, depends on my mood on any particular day. BUT I STILL have a soft spot for the Beatles earlier albums because THAT is when I. and so many of us, fell in love with them and their music. It really hit us hard....and INSTANTLY too. No other group or music had that kind of immediate impact like they did. PLUS, those early albums evoke so many fun and positive memories of those "Beatlemania' years. I am SO THANKFUL that I was of an age where I could really enjoy it. It really is so frustrating and hard to explain to someone who didn't experience it first hand.
Yes the songs are often sappy and the Beatles performances crude but the spirit and passion and from the heart singing are over the top! Like you, for most of my life I dismissed the Beatles early stuff as teen pap but schooled partly by Punk Rock I came to realize that these guys were great from the beginning. The fact that they lack the Hi Tech and energy depleted Miserablisms of OK Computer is like comparing apples and laptops. I love both albums on their own terms. You are a young guy and hopefully your emotional awareness will grow with time. Often the best music is the simplest because the talent has no room to hide behind 32 track digitally mixed sound shaping production effects. The irony is it was the Beatles who set us on the road to OK Computer with Sgt. Pepper etc.
"I SAW HER STANDING THERE" SLOPPY?? "They're still trying to figure it out?" Are you serious? They "figured it out " in Liverpool and especially when they played those 8 hour gigs in Hamburg, Germany. You make it sound like they had only been together for a month before this recording. John, Paul, & George had been together since late 1957, with various short term drummers until 1960 when they had Pete Best as their drummer. They knew Ringo all along as he was the drummer for another Liverpool band, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, and got to know him better when both of their bands played in Hamburg for long stints. Ringo would occasionally sit in with them, if Pete couldn't play. Eventually Ringo replaced Pete in 1962. Back to "I Saw Her Standing There" It's a fantastic rocker and it always gets people up dancing in bars and clubs when it is played by bands today. It is still a highlight of Paul's concerts today. The crowd still goes crazy for it, as we did when we first heard it back then. NEWSFLASH, THIS album was what MADE them SO POPULAR in the first place and started "Beatlemania" in the UK and Europe in 1963. I don't think you know that 5 of the songs on this album are covers of songs that the Beatles loved and ones that they performed in Liverpool and Hamburg. Those 5 covers are: "ANNA" *** (originally by Arthur Alexander) *** "CHAINS" (by the Cookies) *** "BOYS" *** (by the Shirelles, both of these were by Motown "girl groups "that were popular in the '60s. *** "BABY IT'S YOU" *** was also a Shirelles song) *** "A TASTE OF HONEY" ( by Bobby Scott) and *** "TWIST AND SHOUT" ( The Isley Brothers had the original hit). The OTHER 8 songs on this album, are ALL written by Lennon & McCartney, *** "I SAW HER STANDING THERE" *** "MISERY" *** "ASK ME WHY" *** "PLEASE PLEASE ME" *** "LOVE ME DO" *** "P.S. I LOVE YOU: *** "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET" *** and *** "THERE'S A PLACE" *** Other than a few songs during their very early time as a band, playing locally and in Germany, were all covers. So they were a cover band then, and only doing a few of their own. Some songs they wrote when they were very young and some when they weren'teven a band yet, didn't show up until their later albums. We didn't know about them in the U.S. until Dec. 26, 1963 when "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" was released and the "MEET THE BEATLES" album released in January 1964. You really can't judge with 2024 ears and especially when you DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT we were listening to before this came out. What you don't realize is that WITHOUT this album and their other first few albums, you wouldn't have their later albums......it's called GROWTH which they did very quickly. Thankfully you are the ONLY person I have ever heard, that totally TRASHED them, and (again) acted as if they were put together a month before they recorded this album. "PLEASE PLEASE ME" was their FIRST# 1 in the UK in 1963, and only their 2nd single. "LOVE ME DO "was their very FIRST single and put them in the charts at #20. YOU CAN'T COMPARE this to 2020 debut albums. THIS first album and "WITH THE BEATLES" in the UK, "MEET THE BEATLES" in the U.S., "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" were very innovative and DIFFERENT from what we were listening to a few years before that. That point has to be taken in consideration. Very famous rock groups and singers since the mid '70s who were around when THIS album came out, but were kids or teens then , ALSO went crazy for the Beatles over the "PLEASE PLEASE ME" album, and the 2 others I mentioned above. It was what made them want to learn to play guitar, or drums and form a group. MANY famous bands and singers of ALL "genres" talk about how they were influenced by the Beatles, even saying if it weren't for the Beatles, they wouldn't be where they are today. We played this album over and over and over again and LOVED every minute of it. I have been listening to the this it and all their early albums for the last 60 years, I have no idea HOW many times. I still am not tired of it. I LOVE ALL their periods of music. Honestly, we couldn't WAIT for their next single or album to come out, to see what they were going to do next. They constantly progressed and evolved with each one. They would have NEVER had the CHANCE to progress, IF this "PLEASE PLEASE ME" album hadn't been the HUGE HIT that it was. Think about that. You just had to BE there. ( So now '60s music is BORING? WOW, it was a very dynamic decade of music. I think you need to listen to more of it) "MERSEYBEAT" is named after the MERSEY RIVER that runs between Liverpool and Birkenhead. It referred to ALL the groups that came out of Liverpool (just months after the Beatles), that made it big in the UK, EUROPE, the U.S. and the rest of the world, as part of the "BRITISH INVASION" starting in 1964. OH, and "MERSEY" is pronounced like "MERZY" not "mercy."
Awesome to see someone who actually experienced The Beatles from the beginning to the end! I know they had a massive impact and came in like a storm when this got released which then changed the music landscape and music to come. I think the album is good/okay personally! The thing is with all the great music out there today, as a 25yo Beatles fan myself, i don't think it holds up today even if it was vastly different and unique at the time. He doesn't need to know every single detail about the band or history at the time. Some context might help, but he's still just seeing if it holds up to today and if he subjectively likes it! Him thinking I Saw Her is sloppy is still kinda crazy though haha! He listened to the rest of the early albums in one stream and saw the band's fast progression which he was impressed by from what i recall. I'm gonna edit them for him later so stay tuned for those!
Not saying you have to like the older Beatles. What I see is that you need to catch yourself up on the music and culture of the time to put things in their proper context. You do realize that teen girls in high school expected to get married after school = not college. A lot of the songs and tv shows of the day reflected marriage at a young age like late teens, early 20s. Part of the "context" is that girls would dress up to look older to date the guy a few years old, and the older guy s thought they were too young. iI know it may seem odd to you, but todays marrying late in life or not at all is the oddity in human history. As to the Beatles music, well, when you listen to enough of the late 50's early 60s, you will hear the innovation. y might be aware that society (that is outside the youth) hated rock music and thought it was dangerous. On recording of the era, that's the way recording was.
Try listening in context. Listen to the 5 number one songs previous to this album coming out. Their music was strikingly different. You are like somebody looking at a lightbulb and going, meh. Look at my iPhone!
I've heard plenty of 50s music, I know what music was like around the time. Something being different doesn't mean I'll automatically like it, this isn't an objective review, it's just me sharing my opinion for the sake of discussion
You should checkout The Damned - Strawberries. Probably 1 of the best albums ever made while being pretty unknown compared to their previous 2 albums which pioneered punk, instead this album pioneered post-punk.
If your using the mono setting on Spotify or headphones. It’s very different than the Mono mix (which doesn’t sound like actual ass) That’s because turning stereo into mono is a fold down
to be honest, I think you did a great job and not an emotional one that a lot of people had during that time, and even from some of these comments because they lived it in their youths in their lives. Go easy on this as it was really early in the music scene compared to the 2020's now, and so a lot of this music in the album is really simple 3 to 4 chords, heavy harmonies with lots of early type instruments (guitars) that one is not used to listening to now adays. The music does sound very dated and sounds now like it was made for little kids. You were funny...had me laughing.
There may be a ton of great debuts out there but that’s also usually their best. I’d rather start with a bit of a clunker and evolve. Zeppelin is probably the only one with a great debut and historic career. This is better than the Rolling Stones debut.
Congratulations on dissing one of the greatest achievements of human civilization as though it was just some crap. Our tastes are different, to say the least. I've watched about 10 TH-cam reactions to this album and you're the very first who didn't love it. Your right, I guess. In Britain, this remained in the Top 10 for over a year, a record for a debut album that stood for half a century. People who lacked your fine powers of discrimination, I guess. Shortly after this, the Beatles occupied the top 5 positions on the "Biillboard" chart simultaneously.
Do something else with your life. The ‘Kevin the teenager’ vibe isn’t working. Also, this is from 1963 so you should have some understanding of music technology and standard recording/mixing practices and limitations of the era it came from. You clearly don’t.
You are boring not beatles have you ever stopped to listen yourself taking, ''there isnt anithing bad about it its just boring'' thats you having a bad taste in music and not being able to justify it with arguments,
Let me know what you think of this album, check out my other Beatles reactions, and subscribe if you haven't! We're on our way to 2k!

I Saw her Standing There is a Banger! Heard it blasting out of a London pub a couple months back and I felt like it lived up to anything made now.

Congrats for starting at the beginning, and also for the warnings about your condition and education level.
I have not heard this album in stereo in a long time (I always turn my device to mono), and I forgot how bad the stereo mixes actually were 😅
I dont know how old are you but you remind me when I was 15/16 years old cause your attitude hahaha
Yes, 12-13-15 maybe.
