- After the success of Please Please Me, and after achieving the best-selling single in the history of the United Kingdom with She Loves You, The Beatles began an inevitable rise. They had conquered the European market. In the UK, after singing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance, they had established their prestige as a youth sensation, and all eyes were on their second album. Less improvised and with more time to record, With The Beatles combined the success formula of Please Please Me: original recordings and some routine covers for the band. The album helped the band's target. With half a million sales pre-ordered and I Want To Hold Your Hand as a single on the side, the beatles would open the way for their next goal: Succeeding in America.

A million thanks for post all of this great stuff on The Beatles!
I don't care who thinks" Don't Bother Me" is a throw away I think it's one of the better songs on that entire album. Just my opinion 🤷 😁
It may not be the best song on the album, but it's definitely the coolest song on the album. My favourite too.
All I’ve got to do is better
C'est un excellent titre.
I always liked it… probably because there were a number of people in my own life at that time who were a giant pain in the butt!
It's a very good song. I should be so lucky to write a song that good.
There's something haunting about that simple recording of Harrison alone in the hotel room, trying to write a song. This is the young man who would write "Gently Weeps" and "Something", and here he's whistling a tune he doesn't know the words for yet. Sounds ghostly.
Just Saw Ringo and his all Starr band last Friday…09/15/23 in Southlake Tahoe. He looks wonderful… And he still singing I want to be your man.
59 years later I still have the "Meet the Beatles" album I bought back in January of 1964.
I wanted to buy it when it came out but I was 15 months old and my parents wouldn’t give me the money
Same here
Beet the Meatles
Hi Steve, loved your comment. I was nine years old. Lordy, it affected me so much...at nine . It changed me right then and there. It changed Everything, and all for the better.
I am so proud to be a few of a particular ilk, lol. Probably get some crap for this comment.
But my life was and is so rich, and full of goodness from that. I started telling ppl by age 12, that 'this' would never die. It never did.
I hope you had a little of the same magic.
Wonderful channel here; just found it. Thx to whoever is doing this work. Peace and love
@@fourthtunz I bet you exasperatedly told them: "You never give me your money!"
I have always liked "Don't Bother Me" and never thought of it as a throwaway.
In my opinion it is also Paul's best playing on the entire album.
My own personal beatlemania was as a 15-year old in 1973, 10 years after the actual event! I thought this album was very exciting and sold me on them completely. The glam rock pop that was around at the time didn't seem to have the same immediacy and freshness of the early Beatles who until that time were a childhood memory. I love the way Beatles recordings from this early period have just the right amount of rough edges left on them to give them that drive and excitement.
Thank you for this wonderful upload ❤ I'm a Beatles fanatic who devours every piece of media I can get hold of but I hadn't seen or heard a lot of what appeared in this video. I will never get enough of this band who are, without doubt, the greatest the world will EVER see.
The Beatles The Best Band
The best part of this is the George Harrison demo. Thank you for that important piece of music history.
I consider the first four tracks on this album to be the best four openers I've ever heard on an album outside of Revolver. That includes the wonderfully dark and pessimistic Harrison debut which is absolutely fantastic.
Not a Second Time is also pure Lennon genius and ranks within my top 10 Beatles songs, yet is a throwaway to many.
Boy, I remember it all like it was yesterday. That must make me old. 😊
@Poco Pico So do I and I am old. I was 13 and was a screaming freak just like all the other girls were...what a wonderful era to be a teenager! You know what I still love about it? The fact that my grandkids love their music, especially Paul McCartney's style. For a band to come along in 1963 and their music is still loved by 3 generations of people and will continue to be loved over future generations is so outstanding and impressive!👏👏
It makes you young at heart :o)
It makes you vintage!😊
Mind blowing how young they were and writing amazing songs like All My Loving, All I’ve Got to Do.
My first album. My grandfather gave me a second hand copy for my 9th birthday in 1965. I played it and played it and played it to DEATH on our old mono HMV radiogram.
Another thing The Beatles are top of is photogenicity. Take any of those black n white snapshots, frame it, put it on your wall and it will look cool.
I am so glad I grew up watching everything they did here in America.....starting with them being on the Ed Sullivan show......I would never wanted to grow up in any other time but the 1960's
"With The Beatles" is a really, really good album and is still chronically under-rated. This is not helped by "experts" repeating the same old, worn out lines "it's just their stage show at the time", "a filler album," etc. Music Box USA should completely revise its commentary on this record.
I love these videos on the beatles
I was six years old when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan, and for my seventh birthday in April 1964, my parents got me Meet the Beatles and a practice drum pad and sticks. I took some drum lessons but ended up playing the piano we had in our apartment. Now at age 65, I've recently started messing around with the drums, electronic Roland kit. Before the Beatles came along, I used to listen to my nine year older sister's music, Johnny Mathis, Bobby Rydell, Bobby Vincent are some I recall. But when I first heard the Beatles it was like everything changed. I was totally engrossed with them. Posters on my walls, Beatle boots, I got the type of hats they wore in the movie "Help!". Got every American release album as soon as they were released, still have them all. I have the 2009 remasters in mono and stereo and I they're my most prized cd's. Love these type of videos on the making of their music. Thumbs up!
They looked like such kids in that album cover.
There's a Paul quote from an interview during the early 1980s' "it was twenty years ago today" celebration of the Beatles' career (not the SPLHCB* album per se.) He recounted being depressed in 1962 from being "over the hill...missed our chance" at age 20 because the hits charts were full of 18 year-old artists. (*Sargent...)
Such an informative video, happy 60th album anniversary to With The Beatles!😃👍☮️❤️
So many high-energy cuts on this one--the first album by anyone that I ever bought (in the form of Meet the Beatles; my second was The Beatles' Second Album, including many of the tracks omitted from Meet). I still play these songs all the time.
John Lawson Absolutely. Most people today associate Beatles albums by the British versions because that's what had been released on CD. But naturally being an American, I had the American albums. My first album was introducing The Beatles on VeeJay records. Then Meet The Beatles on Capitol Records. Then the Beatles second album, and so on. We had albums like Beatles VI, Beatles 65, Yesterday and Today, Something New, etc etc etc. I think A Hard Days Night was the first album with the same name as the British album. Although we did get different songs on our American version with the second side all being George Martin orchestrations from the movie. I listened to these albums so many times and was so accustomed to the playing order of the tracks, that the British versions took some getting used to.
@@mtp4430 Excellent point about the different playing orders, Mike. I still think The Beatles' Second Album is one of the rockingest albums ever. And thanks for mentioning Something New; while I wasn't thrilled by the German-language versions of old material, I did love Slow Down, Things We Said Today, I'll Cry Instead--and of course If I Fell, which is still incomparable in their catalogue.
I believe the way the Beatles made their albums and released them in the UK as they should be was much better than what Capitol done with their albums. Apart from Magical Mystery Tour, which i thought was a great idea of putting their 3 singles and b-sides of 1967 with the Magical Mystery Tour 6 track double E.P. It's a bit of a companion to Sgt. Pepper. What i don't like is both of their film albums, Hard Days Night and Help, which had Beatles tracks on the b-side of these albums with tracks like You Can't Do That, Things We Said Today, I'll Be Back, It's Only Love, I've Just Seen A Face and Yesterday. On the Capitol albums the second sides were just incidental music. Also in my opinion, Revolver is the greatest album, yet Capitol spoiled this great album by taking 3 tracks from it. I believe the UK releases are better and they are what the Beatles wanted.
Solid review, but I think there is a bit of urban legend attached to Sullivan discovering the Beatles at Heathrow. Dick Clark certainly knew who they were. His former business partners at Swan Records cut a deal with EMI to release She Loves You in 1963 and they got their old pal to play it on American Bandstand, six months before they appeared on Ed Sullivan. The kids basically panned it, with a few derogatory remarks about the picture of the band thrown in. Clark may have panned them initially but he was smart enough to invest in them and did pretty well for himself. He wasn't alone though. Brian Epstein was a decent guy and he didn't cheat the Beatles intentionally but he negotiated some real crappy deals on their behalf, as that deal with Sullivan illustrates.
Anyway, I like this album a lot. I grew up with the Capitol recordings so I always think of The Beatles Second Album when I listen to it. I know John and Paul were dismissive of Hold Me Tight but Paul does some real good vocal work on that one and over the years I've developed a soft spot for Don't Bother Me. I Wanna Be Your Man has always been one of my favorite Ringo numbers. The harmonies John and Paul provide are great and I think it is much better than the Stones version which is too slow and bluesy for my tastes. I think their covers of You Really Got a Hold on Me and Roll Over Beethoven are on par with the originals though some may call that blasphemy. The only songs I'm not that wild about are Little Child and Not a Second Time. That piano solo in the middle of Not a Second Time sounds like elevator music and Little Child sounds disjointed, like they weren't quite sure what they were looking for when they recorded it and never quite figured it out.
Anyway, thanks for another good review. You guys do a good job and I find your takes on the records you review fresh and detailed without getting too deep into the weeds, even if my comments may do just that😉. Please keep up the good work and thanks for posting.
It doesn't matter because every Beatles album is fun. George Harrison is really playing great guitar in Til there was you.
Yes probably where they realized acoustic sounds great in studio! Next album had much more
Re Mahler reference: Das Lied von der Erde is a massive set of symphonic songs that uses Chinese poetry. Mahler used the pentatonic scale to a great degree in these songs, something that as of then was not that common in Western European music.
To Mahler the scale sounded "Chinese". Puccini did the same thing in both madam Butterfly and Turandot. The pentatonic scale was meant to sound "Asian". Sr Arthur Sullivan did it to a lesser extent in the Mikado.
Lennon loved using I-vi chord progressions because they were in common use in rock and pop from the 1960s. Not a Second Time makes use of the pentatonic not only in that way, but it also leans on the "mediant" chord, iii, in the context of the pentatonic scale that drives the melodies for the song. Mahler did the same thing.
So yes, they have that in common, but John, surely, was writing intutively at that point.
Great video loaded with interesting tidbits that I love to hear about. So many “good” people like Brian and George Martin were around the Beatles and brought out the good in the lads.
Really well done - thanks for posting!
I love the Beatles albums from Rubber Soul onwards better, but i still love their early albums. It's great to listen from their first to their last and hear how they progressed.
With The Beatles is a great album. It Won't Be Long, All I've Got To Do, All My Loving, Don't Bother Me, I Wanna Be Your Man, Not A Second Time, plus some of their great covers, Till There Was You, Please Mister Postman, Roll Over Beethoven, You Really Got A Hold On Me, Money. A truly great album with no singles released from it, although there could have been a few songs taken off as singles. Their next album would be all Lennon and McCartney original's. That's how fast they were progressing.
Now days "With The Beatles" is basically an early greatest hits album.
Christmas of 1963, my brother got this album and I got my first guitar, a 6-string Stella acoustic. It Won't Be Long blasted out of our Heathkit stereo and that began my love affair with the Beatles.
I had the Beatlemania version. I liberated it, Revolver, and Are You Experienced? from my brother when he was in the army when I was about 9. That would've been the Summer of Woodstock. Three great albums to set me off on my own musical journey.
It is a great album , work songs , fillers what ever . This has so many fun high energy songs . You can't play this album and not get in a good mood .
I grew up then. I was aware of all this stuff. But I still enjoyed the post, thank you.
I always thought a factor in the Beatles insane popularity, was the idea that the four Beatles, in some weird way, combined to make the perfect man.
Mick Jagger described them as "the four headed monster".
Not a bad theory.
My theory is similar, I always thought George was a combination of John and Paul.
Brian Epstein once said: John is the head, Paul is the heart, George is the soul and Ringo is the body.
An underrated album IMHO.
Thanks for this video! Interestingly, I have recently re-discovered this masterpiece and have listened to it literally 100+ times in the last couple of months, as I realized I cannot tire of it, probably because of its amazing ENERGY, JOY, and OPTIMISM. I’ve never felt this way about any other album.
Also, don’t forget that John and George did the harmony on “You Really Got a Hold on Me”. #unique
Loved this! Great work - looking forward to future vids!
It won’t be long- great song. Also She Loves You which was recorded in these sessions
Great job! Great research, great pictures, great presentation.
😊Yeah I subscribed!
I prefer the covers to the originals & Don't Bother Me is one of the better originals.❤
❤My ❤Beatles ❤
Theres a spanish channel, called la Hemeroteca with your same video just in spanish. Awesome video thou
I disagree with George here. I think "Don’t Bother Me" is a very good song, not a "great" song, certainly not a throwaway, though.
I personally love it.
Look at those sweet, young faces
Don’t bother me- didn’t know it started as a ballad! Probably why Harrison bloomed when they were more progressive! Classical at heart
"After singing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance", how about "After singing before Princess Margaret at the Royal Variety Performance". The Beatles never performed in front of the Queen, but Paul McCartney did.
don´t know why, but this is a channel that makes the missing videos that the ones made by "la hemeroteca" but in english so is strange.
13 seconds in, this scene were George is smoking was filmed at what was then the Border in Ireland , funny now that all you hear on the news since Brexit is the Irish border and here are the Beatles standing on it
Along with Phil Spector
's Christmas compilation, this album was issued on the same day John F. Kennedy died.
Mr. Brian Epstein's tremendous leg work for his boys in England, and for his foresight that they would make it too in America--and even accepting for just a $10,000.00 talent fee in exchange for a more popularity was truly a huge gamble--Mr. Brian Epstein was indeed a great business negotiator.
Not bad medicine at all
The younger generation that is ! Not their mothers and fathers. From my personal reckelastion ! As I was 17 , soon to turn 18 in 1964.
I know George Harrison is listed as the acoustic guitarist on 'Till there was you,' but I find it hard to believe, somehow. The playing is just too accomplished for a 20 year old more accustomed to the electric equivalent.
George Harrison played acoustic on Till There Was You. Although he was only 20 he had been playing guitar since he was 13 and quickly became a really accomplished player. George would have been playing quite a bit of acoustic when he was with John and Paul or 1 or the other when they were writing songs which they did mostly on acoustic and sometimes on piano.
I believe George was more than good enough to play acoustic on Till There Was You.
@@kevanbrown7620 I'm not saying you're wrong (though you could be). However: a) it wouldn't be unheard of for a session player to be hired specially for such a thing, and b) listening to that break again, it is just so very, very accomplished...
@@appledoreman In Ian MacDonald's book Revolution In The Head where he examines every recorded Beatles track he has Harrison acoustic lead guitar at the top of Till There Was You and he says near the end of the small essay on the track 'Harrison's much practised Spanish guitar solo is dispatched with smooth aplomb'
I think this shows Harrison played the acoustic lead but he had to practice it a lot before he could record it properly. So i think this says that Harrison did play on the song but also like you have alluded to, it was a very difficult piece for Harrison that he had to practice it quite a lot and it must have made Harrison a better acoustic player going forward.
@@appledoreman I could be wrong and you could be right. I just believe Harrison played that part after reading about the Beatles, not just Revolution In The Head but quite a few books over the years and watched every documentary i could find on the Beatles. We may differ on who played that part but the only people who really know are the one's who were at the session.
@@kevanbrown7620 I'm not saying George Harrison DIDN'T play that part. Nevertheless - it's too late now - but I'd love to see an interview where he was asked point blank to look the interviewer in the eye & swear he did play it, but no such thing exists. Rock historians, no matter how respected or informed, weren't there in the studio that day.
Fun Fact: The Beatles never had all four members with beards all at once.
The "Technological limitations" of the times didn't matter, (if you had talent) ... In fact, the pure analog equipment of tube microphones, pre-amps, compressors, and the tube powered guitar amps they had, sound richer, & far better than the sterile digital recordings and pro-tools fakery of today..
In America the album is "Meet the Beatles" and frankly, it's annoying to hear it called anything else.
"after singing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance"
Er...it was actually the Queen Mother.
And the band was called "The Beatles", not "The Beadles"... 😐
Oh well, at least you pronounced Brian Epstein's surname right ("Ep-stine" rather than "Ep-steen").
Ha ha "Bald" in a couple years. All 4 boyz got a full head of hair.
You might also add Paul McCartney, The poor old boy lost his voice awhile ago but still insists on making people pay to hear him Croak,give it up Paul ASAP
Watch excerpts from his concert; the fans are ecstatic to see him. They know his voice is not the same, and they don't care. Why don't you give up criticizing Paul. The fans are only too glad to pay to see him perform.
@@braemtes23 McCartney still puts a song over, just as Frank Sinatra did in his late years. And the very length of his concerts at the verge of reaching 80 is a testament to his professionalism.
"The first session was in the morning where they recorded ten takes. The second session was in the afternoon where they recorded seven more takes"
This is like a high school kid trying to spin out an essay to 1000 words. I stopped the video and went back to click "Don't recommend this channel" at that point.
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain…
Ya this is all over the place...has no structure
