Good stuff yet again, a few things I would like to mention, starting with you saying Rubber Soul was dropping tomorrow. I'm guessing that since you already did Rubber Soul that you meant to say Revolver. It's cool man, I still make that mistake, lol. Second, it might help to understand that way back in the day, releasing singles were more important to record labels than a full album. That might help dispel the confusion as to why some of these singles are better than some of the tracks on the albums. The priority back then was releasing singles, 45's as we know 'em. I think you're going to like Revolver. It boasts not one, but two great "Harrisong's" on the album that are real bangers. Paul really shines on this one as well. In fact, after McCartney and Wings started getting heavy airplay in the 70's, songs like "Good Day Sunshine" started tracking again, despite being released almost a decade earlier. Finally, this is a little treat once you've listened to Revolver, and you might even consider including this in your video. The alternate take of "And Your Bird Can Sing" for my money, is even more enjoyable than the cut off of Revolver. I'm pretty sure these boys were high as "Mr Kite" when they did this one, probably just returned from a smoke filled bathroom prior to this recording, and it's just a lot of fun to listen to.

@@mikepotter2484 Thanks for bringing up that key point re singles vs albums/LPs, which our host here (quite naturally) didn't seem to quite understand. I remember albums in general just being an adjunct to singles, that you might buy if (1) you really liked a single and wondered what else that artist could do, and to keep you entertained until their next all important single came out - and (2) if you happened to have a lot of money to spend on such extraneous luxuries. But most of the time, if you did splash out on an album it would quite likely be filled with a lot of C grade drivel and shmaltz, only enlivened by the single and its B side that you'd already purchased, plus maybe two or three passably enjoyable/ good quality songs. Great things were definitely not expected, let alone any kind of artistic tour de force that would be remembered and respected 50 years into the future. It was almost entirely as a result of the increasing quality of the material the Beatles started putting out on their albums, that other bands started to compete, and the whole industry began to lift its game. Pop and rock music and al the genres that grew out of it became genuine modes for real musicianship and creativity, along with more and more technical innovation to provide a more refined listening experience..

It's true. These are probably most enjoyable and genuine reaction videos I've ever seen and I'm genuinely excited and looking forward to the Revolver and Houses Of The Holy reviews. The difference between yours and the majority of the "typical young (millenial/gen z) black kid who's grown up on mostly hip-hop reacting to 'Classic Rock'." is that most of them are manufactured just for the 'clicks' etc, with no real passion or insight. Yeah, they might enjoy it in the moment and the novelty of something different, but your videos are just genuine. You are really astute with your observations and your genuine and passionate 'in the moment' reactions remind me of when I first heard some of these records. For the record, an older friend who had just bought 'The White Album' lent it to me and gave me a joint to go with it. On a night when I was home alone, I played the album and smoked the joint ( It was 1982 and I was 15) and my life was never the same again. It's wonderful to see a 24 year old hearing this stuff and being blown away. It helps me to keep on being inspired by music at the advanced age of 56.@@lifeofdariius

THAT is EXACTLY what I was going to say, but you beat me to it.! Nice to know that someone else thinks it is a hidden gem, too. A LOT of people don't KNOW it all, because it was never on an album. I think that some fans didn't always buy all the singles like a lot of us did back then, as they came out, and were more interested in the albums. I loved "YES IT IS" from the first time I put the 45 rpm on my record player back then. Just LOVE those harmonies and the way George plays his guitar. I have seen a LOT of Beatles tribute bands over the years and of all the ones I have see, the ONLY band that ever played it, was "1964 the Tribute" It wasn't one of their usual songs on their set list. But once in awhile, they would perform it, and I was SO overjoyed that I happened to be at one of their concerts on a night that they did!

The Beatles cut their teeth as musicians in Hamburg, Germany, playing 8 hours per day, usually from 6pm- 2:00am. They had huge fans in Germany, so they sang those two songs in German to please those fans. From Germany, they went back to England and got their record deal in 1962. Then, they started touring all over Europe. It took them almost another two years to break in America, which happened in late 1963, right after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I think America needed the infectious humor and cheek of The Beatles at that poignant moment of time to bring everything from black and white and gray back to color!

"I Feel Fine" was a really big deal when it came out, because it was so different than anything else they'd put out to that point, and no other bands sounded like that either. It was also the first recorded song which includes guitar feedback. That was a radical sound to the ears of '60s listeners. You can absolutely hear a new and brilliant crispness to the sound, as the engineers were exploring novel ways to record in the studio. The Beatles dropping that single was a real turning point!

@patticrichton1135 3 ай бұрын

and "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" was even MORE of a "Big Deal" when it came out, because it TRULY WAS "SO DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE" that we had been listening to on the radio in 1963. My clock radio came on early morning Dec. 26, 1963 (the day it was released in the U.S.) and I WOKE UP to "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND." Now, I am NOT one that immediately jumps out of bed upon awakening, especially when I didn't have to go to school ( I was 16 then) as it was Christmas vacation. I would usually turn off my clock radio and turn over and snooze some more. But when I heard THAT song, I SAT STRAIGHT UP immediately, as if I had a rope around my chest and someone at the foot of my bed YANKED it hard to MAKE me sit up! I LOOKED at my clock radio and actually said OUT LOUD to no one in particular, "WHAT and WHO is THAT" I felt like I had been hit by a bolt of lightening! I just couldn't believe it, I just KNEW that I LOVED it and wanted to hear it AGAIN!! I missed the first 30 seconds or so. I had the radio on all day, so I could hear it complete and find out WHO it WAS. I just knew it was NOT by ANYONE that I had listened to in the last few years. So Yeah, THAT was the song that started "BEATLEMANIA" in the U.S. Funny, because of ALL the hundreds of times I have listened to it in the last 60 years, I STILL get that SAME feeling that I had that Dec. morning when it first "invaded" my ears. Special song for sure. By the way, I LOVE "I FEEL FINE" too.

@FredGarnett 3 ай бұрын

I'm so glad that you loved She Loves You! This was the first time The Beatles actively disagreed with producer George Martin and told him "don't worry the fans will love it" in reply to some criticisms from him. Martin didn't like Love Me Do (except for the harmonica), made them rewrite Please Please Me (correctly) and told them to write a sequel to Please Please Me, hence all the harmonica on From Me To You. The Beatles called songs they were forced to write by the record company "work songs" and From Me To You was arguably the first. She Loves You was the first hit single they picked as the single. You mentioned with Maxwell's leaden Hammer (John hated it and avoided being in the studio) that they might have been asked to produce certain songs and that is true. The amazing thing is that many of them were still wonderful songs. For example the original title of HELP! was Eight Arms to Hold You but when they changed the title to HELP! Lennon went home after a days filming and came back the next morning with HELP! That's just ridiculous!! Love your really thoughtful reactions to the Beatles catalogue Darius... ;)

@scottlaw8990 3 ай бұрын

Just FYI Paul sings Love Me Do and he co-leads on I want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You. Help was the first album The Beatles wrote and recorded high. It did make a difference. A bunch of the old rockers are covers: Long Tall Sally, Bad Boy, Matchbox, Slow Down. The German songs were just a curiosity they tried once and figured they would put them on this collection.

@gettinhungrig8806 3 ай бұрын

Yeah but you hardly hear Paul on 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'. He's on high harmony. John is clearly the lead vocal. Darius picked up on that. 'She Loves You' is more of a duet - and George joining in too - but John's dominant. His voice was that powerful then he would drown out the others. 'Love Me Do' is a duet too with Paul soloing in places because John had to play the harmonica.

The U.S. releases of Beatles catalog was a year behind. We didn't find out about them until early 1964, so they released the "With the Beatles" album as "Meet the Beatles" and they added "Hold Your Hand", "Saw Her Standing There" and "This Boy" and removed most of the cover tunes, to be released later. Our "Meet the Beatles" album was a TON OF BRICKS to the side of the head! it was so awesome!! MTB was my first introduction to the Lads, back in the late 60's (listening to my older siblings albums), and it is a part of my DNA by now.

I was 10 in December of 1963. I Want to Hold Your Hand just hit the airwaves and it was like a light switch had been turned on. Here in the US, no one knew the Beatles existed until then. Soon after, came She Loves You and a fast flurry of other new Beatles songs. We couldn't get enough. Some of the songs on this album were 100% sensational... then and now. Some were more an early introduction to their unique sound and were great at the time but don't hold up quite as well now. Sidenote: The Beatles honed their skills playing clubs in Hamburg, Germany from 1960-62. It wasn't until 1963 when they became a sensation. Having had a following in Germany, they recorded their two biggest hits in German for their earliest of fans there.

As to the sound of She Loves You, the reason was because back then, stereo mixing was pretty much just a novelty, so they just panned the vocals to one stereo channel and all of the instruments on the other! For a less "shitty" sound, try listening to it (or indeed the ENTIRE Beatles catalog until Abbey Road) in mono, or listen to the new remix on the 2023 edition of the Red Album (it is...

With the exception of Love Me Do the singles were not supposed to be on albums because they didn’t want to charge fans twice for the same song. So they decided that singles would be independent of the albums. Long Tall Sally, Slow Down, Matchbox and Bad Boy are covers. The Beatles spent 2 years in Hamburg, Germany honing their craft in clubs playing up to 8 hour shows. Ringo was in another band and eventually sat in when Pete didn’t show and they decided he was the one… their time in Hamburg was the inspiration fir the German versions of She Loves You and I Wanna Hold Your Hand. They are both throwaways…

There was already a decent fan base for them locally around Hamburg, and obviously the Beatles themselves had fond memories of the place, so it was natural to cut German language versions of those two big hits in appreciation (and of course knowing they'll sell there pretty easily!).

The album version of Love Me Do slaps bc Ringo is slappin the fuck outta the TAMBOURINE. That's what's missing from the single, and why the drums sound more distant.

@patticrichton1135 3 ай бұрын

That's all Ringo played on the album version of Love Me Do, was the tambourine. Andy White was playing the drums.

I love all these! Not any reactors I watch hv done YES IT IS! Superb harmonies!! Long Tall Sally is an old Little Richard song. They met Richard and he taught Paul that shout!

@Kieop 3 ай бұрын

Paul was already doing that shout. Yes he learned it from Little Richard -- from listening to his records, but Richard didn't actually "teach" it to him. It's a "claiming" story that Richard tells to let the world know that he approves of Paul's appropriation of his style. He would accuse other artists of stealing from him, but by saying that he taught it to Paul he is "claiming" Paul as his own legacy. Even when he does that silly little "poofing" version of the story, which sounds like he's calling Paul an incompetent slow study, it is really endearing, because this detail implies that he felt Paul was worth investing time and effort in. Never happened, but it's still a "true" story. I love the look of pure glee on Paul's face in that photo when the Beatles met Little Richard for the first time!

She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand were written and sung by both Paul and John. Paul could so perfectly imitate and blend his vocals with John that it sounded like one voice until Paul went into the high harmonies. This happened on quite a few of their early songs such as Eight Days a Week.

@gettinhungrig8806 3 ай бұрын

Sorry if all he's doing is imitating John to save John having to double-track his voice, then it's still a John song. Yes I've heard Paul talk about this.

@gettinhungrig8806 3 ай бұрын

It's pretty clear the producer and manager, that's Martin and Epstein, went with John as the hit voice in the early days. It's all over both sides of these singles as Darius is picking up on. That was after John delivered for them with 'Please, Please Me' their first number one.

@braemtes23 3 ай бұрын

@@gettinhungrig8806 Paul and John writing a song together and both singing the complete song together with Paul and John blending their voices in some parts and harmonizing in other parts is a John and Paul song. Those are the facts. John imitated Dylan's voice on many songs, does that make them Dylan songs?

You might be interested to know that Paul and The Beatles recorded "I've Just Seen A Face", "Yesterday", and "I'm Down" ALL ON THE SAME DAY - 14 June 1965. This may be the best day's work ever accomplished by a recording artist.

Lots of gems from the early era on Past Masters One. But, I would have to say I'm Down is the best one here. You can hear Paul scream "Hurry up John!" before Lennon takes that organ solo. Watch the Shea Stadium version to see Lennon play the solo with his elbow. Great video once again!

@daudder 3 ай бұрын

Well, that was fun. You’re spot on recognizing the progression the Beatles made, with this non-album track collection (even the German versions (a hat tip to their Hamburg beginnings). Your ear is perfectly tuned to the growth and sophistication that was to come. You’ll enjoy Past Masters Disc 2, and Rubber Soul a heck of a lot.

@nicolascarey6330 3 ай бұрын

The singles were like adverts for their music. They are what got played on the radio, to start with at any rat, later we were hearing album tracks as well. They didn't put the singles on their albums, because they didn't want the public to have to pay for them twice.

@davidsamonski 3 ай бұрын

I’m sure someone already said this, but the Beatles were huge in Germany in their early years, so I think they released those to give their German fans some music they can understand… someone that’s more of a Beatles nerd correct me I’m wrong please

8 out of 10 classic "rock n roll" style songs from the Beatles are covers, the one that it isn't a cover, it's "I'm down" and as expected, it is an original Beatles song, no wonder why it's the best.

They recorded 'Long Tall Sally' in one single take. And yes, it was a cover of Little Richards version.

Just remember, the sound quality was never meant for headphones. You could probably record something on your phone microphone that sounds better than the equipment they had back then.
