Free Music Notes for A Hard Day's Night
Free Music Review: Flashback to the '60's
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD brings back all of the great "feel-good" music that The Beatles provided, even early on! I love this CD and love it even better in my car with the top down, happily singing along!! They prove time after time why their music is timeless and why they are THE BEST!!!Free Music Review: Best of the Early Beatles
Hit: 5 Stars
'A Hard Day's Night' is not only a great rock album and great soundtrack, it is rightly regarded as the best of Beatlemania itself. There is enough of the familiar and hidden classics to make this puchase worthwhile. Certainly the title track, "Can't Buy Me Love," "And I Love Her," and "If I Fell" are worthy classics. ("If I Fell" is one of the best of the Beatles' love songs--maybe one of the best love songs period, for that matter.) Rock songs and ballads are masterfully made and mixed on this, their first album to contain all original compositions. The quality is consistent throughout. To paraphrase British writer Roy Carr, the second half is even more worthwhile. "Any Time at All" is great hard rock; "I'll Cry Instead," is a fine country-rock song (foreshadowing the next 'Beatles for Sale' album) and the closer "I'll Be Back Again," is a classic Lennon ballad waiting to be unearthed. The second half also has a fine McCartney ballad, "Things We Said Today". The exhuberant spirit never wanes on this CD and is extended with songs like "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" and "I Should Have Known Better". Song for song, the mix, the quality, and energy are solid on this album. For those who only buy Beatles' collections, this C.D. will not seem redundant.

If you are a classic rock fan who has exhausted the Beatles' later catalogue and aren't sure if you like the early stuff as much, listen to this CD. It will convince you of how great the early Beatles were (something that people born after the 1960s might find harder to believe than those who were alive then). "I Should Have Known Better" was one of the first songs I tried to figure out on guitar. But I never bought the CD until much later. I purchased A Hard Day's Night to get closer to being a Beatles completist. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. It's great. As Albert Goldman said, this was the closest that John came to making a solo record while he was with the Beatles. Paul's work is not nearly as strong. A Hard Day's Night is perhaps the Beatles' crispest and cleanest album. It rocks, has great harmonies, and crackles with the energy of guys on the top of the world. After listening to Pepper for the millionth time, you might need some good old rock and roll. A Hard Day's Night delivers that. Free Music Review: You've got to love everything that they do!

The Beatles' 1964 album A Hard Day's Night not only is titled after a weird phrase once said by Ringo Starr, but it also symbolizes the fab four in their teenybopping, world conquering heyday long before the highly artistic and sophisticated efforts of Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper, and The White Album saw the light of day.
The album came out right after The Beatles took over America with an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show; and to complement the success of the album, the movie with the same title was released to the craze of the young and the old!
The title track, A Hard Day's Night, screams out pop/rock perfection, while songs like John's caressing I Should Have Known Better, and Paul's genuine All My Loving are examples of each member's individual pre-Sgt Pepper songwriting excellence. The album offers more Beatles classics: John's catchy If I Fell and Any Time At All, and Paul's overlooked gem Things We Said Today, and overplayed hit Can't Buy Me Love.

Free Music Review: Guys and gals, come on ...
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the 1987 CD version released in America of the original 1964 British LP, not the American LP. In England, it was the group's third full-length LP, and not merely a "soundtrack recording" to their film. This CD version here is exactly how The Beatles intended the music to be ... as a full album. It also has the original blue and white British cover found on the British vinyl version from 1964. All of The Bealtes CDs released in 1987 were the British LP versions, not the American/Capitol Records version. And, all of the British LPs (the American CDs) are superior to the American vinly versions from the 1960s in sound, song sequencing and cover art.
Enjoy this for what it is, an original!
