WITH THE BEATLES

The Beatles second album is a fair singles album with enough catchy radio friendly songs to appease any Beatles addict. For me the highlights are the less known songs that have not been played to death such as It Won't Be Long, Don't Bother Me, and Money. There are some throwaways (gasp) such as Little Child and Till There Was You, but overall this has essential Beatles that appear on near every compilation of the fab Four such as Please Mr Postman, Roll Over Beethoven, and Hold Me Tight.

This is worth a listen for nostalgia and of course there is not a sceric of prog on it. 2 1/2 stars only.
