REVIEW: By Neil McCormick
“1, 2, 3, 4!” Paul McCartney’s shouted count launches The Beatles into the clipped, thrilling dancehall belter 'I Saw Her Standing There’. After everything that has been said about the band, imbuing them with an almost supernatural hue, it is always amazing to hear them on their debut, just a sharp, fresh, rock and roll band, the savage young Beatles. Recorded in one 12 hour session onto two track tape, the sheer accomplishment of their tight, syncopated playing and perfect harmony singing is astonishing to behold. I doubt there is a young group who could do anything comparable today.

There’s just five original Lennon and McCartney songs, but the way the adrenalinised proto-Beatlemania rocker 'Please Please Me’ rips out of their Rhythm 'n Blues roots into a hot, new pop form shows what the world has in store. Other originals include some of their most awkward and naïve songs ('Ask Me Why’ and 'PS I Love You’), yet they nonetheless display ambition in their chords and harmonies.

This slightly rough and ready debut is as close as we can get to their early live set.The range of their tastes is reflected in their penchant for slightly saccharine ballads, melody already as important to them as the sharp rhythmic groove and tough rock sensibility of the utterly sensational, snotty version of 'Twist And Shout’, which features a fearless lead vocal from Lennon that defined the way British rock singers would approach the mike ever after.
COMMENT: Biography by Richie Unterberger
So much has been said and written about the Beatles — and their story is so mythic in its sweep — that it's difficult to summarize their career without restating clichés that have already been digested by tens of millions of rock fans. To start with the obvious, they were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era, and introduced more innovations into popular music than any other rock band of the 20th century. Moreover, they were among the few artists of any discipline that were simultaneously the best at what they did and the most popular at what they did. Relentlessly imaginative and experimental, the Beatles grabbed a hold of the international mass consciousness in 1964 and never let go for the next six years, always staying ahead of the pack in terms of creativity but never losing their ability to communicate their increasingly sophisticated ideas to a mass audience. Their supremacy as rock icons remains unchallenged to this day, decades after their breakup in 1970.
