MEET THE BEATLES

The American release of the Capitol album "Meet The Beatles" was important in 1964 to bring the mop head's music to the masses outside of the cosy homeland of England. It was essential that The Beatles span out to other countries and why not hit the Big Apple, which can make or break any rock band. Thankfully the Americans loved it and the fanbase widened to increasing proportions. And why not with such material as I Want to Hold Your Hand, I Saw Her Standing There, All My Loving, Don't Bother Me and Hold Me Tight. There are a few tracks that I am not a fan of but this is an early release, before I was born, so it can be forgiven. The 60s will never be repeated and I admit tracks such as Till There Was You, This Boy and All I've Got to Do had their place back then. Find this on vinyl if you are a collector.
