WITH THE BEATLES

Still slowly making my way reviewing the Beatles regular album releases WITH THE BEATLES is a long way from being a bad album many hits are here: "Love Me Do", "All My Loving", Money", "Please Mr Postman", "Roll Over Beethovan",. All are classics of rock and roll. But are they prog? Nope. Not in the least. It would be a few years before The Beatles shed their bebop pop sound and began to experiment more. Also there is much less filler songs than on some of their other early albums. How to rate it? As a pure rock album an easy 4 stars. But on a prog website I will have to give a simple deduction of 1 star. Still a great album, though, proggy or not! 3 solid stars.
