#GEORGE HARRISON ALBUMS IN ORDER TRIAL#

Rubber Soul confirmed once and for all that The Beatles were the unimpeachable masters of their craft as the music world held its breath in anticipation of their next move.

But the jewel in the Lennon canon then and forever after is вЂњIn My LifeвЂќ, which would rank near the top of any list of Beatles greatest songs. HarrisonвЂ™s sitar on LennonвЂ™s sublime confessional вЂњNorwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)вЂќ, double-tracked vocals on several tracks, fuzz bass on HarrisonвЂ™s вЂњThink For YourselfвЂќ, which along with вЂњIf I Needed SomeoneвЂќ demonstrated that Harrison had arrived as a songwriter of note, and who can forget LennonвЂ™s intake of breath on the superlative вЂњGirlвЂќ? McCartney tossed off another standard in вЂњMichelleвЂќ and there are several deeply personal songs, with LennonвЂ™s вЂњNowhere ManвЂќ articulating his despair at the vacuum in his personal life and McCartney documenting his turbulent relationship with Jane Asher on вЂњYou WonвЂ™t See MeвЂќ and вЂњIвЂ™m Looking Through YouвЂќ. The quality control barely lapsed over the 14 tracks, with the band never tighter than on the opening вЂњDrive My CarвЂќ, and then the innovations flowed. The Beatles entered their seminal middle period with another seismic leap in quality with their first true masterpiece which, although influenced by soul and Dylan, proved so influential itself that it spurred contemporaries such as Brian Wilson to hitherto unimagined heights.

Lennon sang or composed the bulk of the songs, with вЂњI Should Have Known BetterвЂќ and вЂњIвЂ™ll Be BackвЂќ particular highlights, but McCartney owned three of the most lustrous jewels in вЂњAnd I Love HerвЂќ, вЂњCanвЂ™t Buy Me LoveвЂќ and the bandвЂ™s most sophisticated song to date, вЂњThings We Said TodayвЂќ.Д®njoy unlimited access to 70 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music Sign up now for a 30-day free trial Sign up The BeatlesвЂ™ third album was light years ahead of the opposition in their homeland in 1964, from the moment it announced itself with the epochal opening chord on GeorgeвЂ™s new Rickenbacker 12-string on the famous title track.

Partly the soundtrack of their first movie which amounts to their first quantum leap with all 13 tracks penned by Lennon and McCartney.

Bob DylanвЂ™s influence permeated LennonвЂ™s superb вЂњYouвЂ™ve Got to Hide Your Love AwayвЂќ and McCartneyвЂ™s countrified вЂњIвЂ™ve Just Seen a FaceвЂќ rolls and tumbles sumptuously, and then thereвЂ™s the bittersweet вЂњYouвЂ™re Going to Lose That GirlвЂќ вЂ“ a cavalcade of riches that emphatically compensate for some of the lesser tracks on show. It also points to the future of pop music as acts more and more began to write their own material, and remains one of the great debut albums.ДЄ tie-in with the bandвЂ™s second film, Help! was a considerable improvement on previous album Beatles For Sale, and in truth is a bit of a mixed bag, but the best songs are very good indeed, rising to classic status with вЂњTicket to RideвЂќ, McCartneyвЂ™s вЂњYesterdayвЂќ вЂ“ the ultimate Beatles standard вЂ“ and the title track, which was LennonвЂ™s very real cry for help. Almost half the 14 tracks were cover versions, and as such, Please Please Me is an undeniably raw, but breathless and brilliant rush through the bandвЂ™s live act of the day, with Ringo proving conclusively that he was the right man for the job. LennonвЂ™s justly lauded, throat-tearing version of вЂњTwist and ShoutвЂќ bookends the album and in between thereвЂ™s a mix of originals and covers including a fine Harrison vocal on вЂњDo You Want to Know a SecretвЂќ and the first two hits вЂњLove Me DoвЂќ and the euphoric title track as the band struck up an immediate rapport with producer George Martin, even if George (Harrison) didnвЂ™t like his tie. The tone of the thrilling debut that launched the Fab Four into pop music history is set by Paul on the opening track as he counts in вЂњI Saw Her Standing ThereвЂќ (вЂњOne, Two, Three, Four!вЂќ). ItвЂ™s an album largely dominated by Lennon however, and he excels on вЂњIt WonвЂ™t Be LongвЂќ вЂњNot a Second TimeвЂќ and the aforementioned вЂњMoneyвЂќ. Elsewhere, George, who surprisingly has three solo vocals on the album, as many as Paul, tears up вЂњRoll Over BeethovenвЂќ while McCartneyвЂ™s вЂњAll My LovingвЂќ is still one of the groupвЂ™s most loved early songs.

However, with 14 tracks on With the Beatles, the band couldnвЂ™t be accused of not giving value for money, even if it duplicated their first album with six covers, including several impressive nods to their love of Motown on вЂњPlease Mr PostmanвЂќ, вЂњYou Really Got a Hold on MeвЂќ and вЂњMoneyвЂќ. Between their first and second albums The Beatles had three No 1 singles вЂ“ вЂњFrom Me to YouвЂќ, вЂњShe Loves YouвЂќ and вЂњI Want to Hold Your HandвЂќ вЂ“ but the temptation to include any of them on their second long-player was resisted.
