Like my dad I really love The Beatles but we were both very dissapointed when we sat down with a good glass of wine to listen to the CD we ordered. Beautifull sound depth. It wasnt only this particular CD.
Its was what we both called a "flat" sound. They were all lacking the sound depth. It didnt take long before we turned the CD off.
We ordered 3 CDs of The Beatles and they were all "bad". We couldnt believe we spent money on such poor quality sound. We compared the sound quality to the old tapes dad had and we quickly disposed the CDs.
Just to compare we borrowed the same CDs from my dads friend, but recorded in 1994. Im sorry Amazon.com but the CDs does not deserve even one star for such poor sound quality.
I did an experiment. I then listened to the cuts one after the other, choosing from each group of 3 the best to my ears. 'Till There Was You' sounds better I think because it's a ballad with acoustic guitar prominent. The first 4 U.S. It seems that the rocking songs sounded better on the 2004 Capitol Boxset, with an almost even split between stereo and mono versions. releases are in there, remastered, with stereo and mono cuts. I have 'The Capitol Albums Vol 1.' boxset released in 2004. Out of the 14 cuts that make up the 2009 Remastered 'With the Beatles', only 2 were superior, 'Till There Was You', and 'I Wanna Be Your Man'.
I made CDs with all three cuts, the Capitols from 2004 and the 2009 Remasters. You can recreate 'With The Beatles' by adding cuts from 'Meet The Beatles' and 'The Beatles Second Album'. I also found the 2009 Remasters worked better with ballads on the 'Please Please Me' 2009 Remaster. Of course they're all superior to the dreadful 1987 releases.
I have both stereo and mono box sets also. What a difference.
Sorry, it does. This album blows in stereo.
The first two albums are so much better in mono. Those of you who don't think so purchase the mono box.
Those are the proper mixes and takes. I can't even listen to this in stereo with the left right vocal problem.
WHAT A DIFFERNCE IN PLEASE PLEASE ME AND WITH THE BEATLES.
The remastered Beatles is a love affair all over again. Are you kidding me. My favorite is Help, when it was released in the US half the songs were the instrumental from the movie not the group. The Beatles, Yes I am a fan, grew up with the band, owned all the albums, now I wanted to own the remasted set. (it rocks) The sound systems I listened to the lads on was like putting your ear up to a can. With the remasteded set it's all the Beatles, so it really is new music I never heard before, can you believe that, Beatle music you never heard. Thank you Amazon for making it easy and fun to "get back" my rubber soul again.
There was not released singles from the album in the UK, although several numbers have clearly hit potential, not least "All My Loving", which in the U.S. The ballad "All I Gotta Do", also sung by Lennon, is one of many highlights of the album - a beautiful song in Arthur Alexander / Smokey Robinson-style - but written by Lennon himself. "With the Beatles" was the band's second album released in 1963. Vocally is "WTB" is dominated by John Lennen who takes care of the lead on half of the songs. Compared with the debut album the group here took a big leap forward. inexplicably reached only the place at number 45 on the charts. Postman" and "Money" is nothing short of a breathtakingly impressive.
McCartney's ballad talent is also reflected in the melancholy "Till There was You". As on the debut album well over half the songs are Beatles originals, while the rest are mainly selected from the group's live repertoire. McCartney sings the catchy "no hit" All My Loving "also is one of the disc's most memorable numbers. it could play a role that the Beatles during most 1963 was a high ranking with singles like "From Me to You," "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand". It is no wonder of Lennon was awarded the lead singer-status because his voice at this point was incredibly powerful, and his performance on tracks like "Please Mr. George Harrison sings lead on three tracks: his own (excellent) "Don't Bother Me," Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven" and the more obscure "Devil in her Heart". A few numbers like the weak "I Want to Be Your Man", and to a lesser extent "Little Child" and "Devil in her Heart", appear a bit like filler - but on the whole, however, an excellent album.
