That's John singing on Anna. And Chains is actually a cover of a black quartet as you suspected. There's a lot of covers in these first albums. Actually Anna is a cover of Arthur Alexander. Half of the tracks here are covers. First George composition is on the next album. And I don't know if you are aware of this fact, but this was recorded live (live in the studio)in one day session, then George Martin came back other day and added the little Misery piano and a little celesta on Baby its you and that was it.

“greatness is brewing” is the truest thing you said. The Beatles are the greatest and most influential band that has ever existed.

[@davidbowman6740]

Just for info, John sang on “Anna Go to Him” and George sang “Chains”. You were right, though, about the early Beatles sounding a bit like a black R&B group in their early days. They were very influenced by the music of the 1950s, including rock ‘n roll and Tamla Motown, though delivered with their own unique style right from the beginning 👍

[@maxiobr8349]

Anna is actually a cover and it was sung by John. John had a cold during the recording so his voice sounds a bit unusual. Their early albums included more covers as it was common back then. Baby it’s you is also sung by John and also a cover :D

@@TommRemm Yup, they were trying to give their fans good value. They thought including the singles songs on an album would short change their fans, so it was pretty much band policy, at least for most of their recording career together, to do two extra songs as a prelude to their albums.

Yes. There's alot of classics on those 2 albums. I would listen to Vol. 1 after the Help! album & Vol. 2 at the end

[@rjaraneta913]

This album was recorded in 1962-1963, so it reflects the late 50's & early 60's vibes. "Anna" was sung by John with backup vocals from George. "Chains" was sung by George. John sang the main part of "Baby It's You", the "Sha La Lal" part was sung by George. "Do You Want to Know a Secret" is sung by George and written by John. "There's a Place" is sung by John with backing from Paul. Songs were generally 2 1/2 to 3 minutes back then because radio would not play anything more than 3 minutes. They do all genres of music; you can't stick them to just one thing. The Beatles grew leaps and bounds from this album to their last album, all done in 7 1/2 years.

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

Paul and George both do the backup vocals for Anna and Baby It’s You.

[@iqbalhussain9526]

Don’t forget the single from the Revolver session 1966 ‘Rain’, which has Ringo’s greatest drumming ever!

[@ferpiopiogm]

This is a moment in time when John and Paul's voices melt together in most of the songs, basically because they worked on the songs together and...as time went by, and they started to do their own thing and just work more separetely, you miss that thing, and when a song like Two Of Us get them together again, it sort of bring an emotion to the song that you cannot explain but it's a thrill!

[@michelepaccione8806]

These are all either written by John or Paul or covers written by others. George sings “So You Want to Know a Secret,” but it was written by John and Paul. They wrote songs for George and Ringo to sing.

[@ewest14]

A Taste of Honey was Billy Preston’s favorite song to see the Beatles perform live in the early days

[@cavewomanbrain]

i’ve been a beatles fan my whole life and this reaction made me appreciate this album way way more! a few things: the fellas writing so many relatively simple love songs at this time was a marketing tactic. singing so many songs addressed directly to their audience played a HUUUUGE role in their popularity early on bc their fans felt like they were being serenaded by these four charming good looking guys. i saw her standing there is mind blowing when you study the bass line and realize paul is playing it AND SINGING LEAD at the same time. same with ringo playing drums on boys. highly recommend watching the live performance of ISHST that they do at their 1964 washington dc show, ringo goes ballistic on the drums and it’s incredible. these reactions have been so fun to watch!! i’m 26 and seeing someone close to me in age listen to a lot of the beatles for the first time reaffirms my belief that my all time favorite band transcends all eras. can’t wait for the rest of the discography! much love

[@Abcadeaz]

Also, fun fact - the version of love me do isnt actually ringo on drums, its andy white a session drummer they used only for that track. The original UK single version has ringo on drums, but that version is essentially lost to time and all that remains is a digital master of andy whitea version of love me do

[@titocampos991]

Andy white also plays on P.S I love you. The Ringo version of Love me do isn’t lost. You can find it on the compilation album, “Past Masters” and it was also remixed on the compilation album, “1962-1966” aka the red album

It’s not lost to time. It was released on Past Masters, the newly remixed Red Album, and was the B-side to Now and Then for the first time in stereo.

Your reaction to the line : 'She was just seventeen / if you know what I mean' .... well, that probably means something different to everyone. I know what it means to me, by golly. When John and Paul were writing it, Paul had the line 'she'd never been a beauty queen'. John said no and it was replaced. 'Anna (Go To Him)' was John. He had a cold. Written by Arthur Alexander. 'Chains' was George. Written by Goffin/King. 'Please Please Me' was a song John brought in. It was suggested by producer George Martin to speed it up. 'Baby It's You' is John. Written by Burt Bacharach and others, I believe. A Taste Of Honey' was not written by the band. Only eight of the tracks were written by the band. It was obligatory to do cover tracks then so people were familiar with the songs and more apt to buy it. They are older tracks. Basically this album is their stage act. It would only be about a year before they were writing entire albums. What is fascinating is that as busy as they were touring they still managed to put out well-written album after album year after year.

[@blitztim6416]

Gotta realize, a lot of these songs are covers. Several originally done by American girl groups. That’s why Ringo is singing about boys for one. Carole King wrote Chains and Isley Brothers did the original Twist and Shout.

[@johnwarfn]

Anna Go to Him was sung by John Lennon. Might have sounded like George because this was recorded before John shredded his vocal chords recording Twist and Shout. He sang so hard he ended up spitting up blood and said his voice was never the same.

[@BT405]

For these earlier albums it's a good thing to note that many of the songs are covers, given that a lot of artists did that at the time. Lots of pop songs were written by industry songwriters to be performed by anyone, or artists just took other somewhat popular or lesser known tracks to use on their albums either for exposure or just because they like the song. If you look at the track list on Wikipedia or Genius, you'll see that Anna, Chains, Boys, Baby It's You, Taste of Honey, and Twist and Shout are all cover songs. This is another reason why some tracks have more of an old school 50's R&B type feel than others, because that's what they were lol.

[@morpher44]

Darius, glad to hear you're feeling better. Great idea to listen to the Beatles chronologically (aside from the couple later albums you already did). They were great at every stage and evolved so quickly, it's amazing to see it unfold. One thing astounding about their growth is how the 3 writers evolved together and kept up with each other. None of them got stuck in early Sixties mode, which could have easily happened with lesser talents. Simply amazing!

[@Merenptah24]

Emperor Darius, a powerful greeting from Australia. I was extremely sceptical at first as it is very difficult to run one past me at any given time. I looked and looked, but after seven of your videos , I was completely floored. You are the only one that has ever picked up on the fact that the song, There's a Place, is an empirical song on that album. There isn't a band on earth today that could do it justice. It is just too difficult. You are nothing short of a genius, an like I say, it is very hard for someone like me to be fooled. We need people like you to set the RECORD straight. Love your work.

[@MrDiddyDee]

For a long time their manager, Brian Epstein, had been desperately touting a demo around every record company in London with zero success. It was only the producer George Martin, at the EMI studios, who saw some raw potential and finally gave them a break, and even he was more struck by their engaging personalities than their music at that point. It was very unusual for any band to write all it's own music in this era, and it was standard to cover Rock'n'Roll and R & B numbers learnt and imitated off American imports, the fact The Beatles wrote so many of their own songs was pretty unique. This album was essentially a selection straight from the sets they had performed live over the previous 3 years of club gigs. A mixture of covers and as many originals as they, and George Martin, thought had a enough quality. 6 of the 14 songs were covers: 'Anna', 'Chains', 'Boys', 'Baby it's you', 'A taste of honey' and 'Twist and shout'. They had one day for the whole album, and they rehearsed through their lunch break, recording started at 10am and finished at 10:30pm when they got to listen back to the full session. Everything had been recorded as live studio performances onto just 2 tracks. John was suffering a bad cold for the whole session, and after finishing with his lead vocal for 'Twist and shout' his throat was totally wrecked.

[@braudabo]

The Beatles basically recorded parts of their stage program at the time on a single day of recording. It includes 8 originals and 6 covers. The work is now 61 years old. It wins, when one compare it to the stuff else, that was released during that time period. This freshness and joy of playing is rarely found on these albums at a time, when an album was not yet the norm and was usually just a compilation of previous singles and a few fillers. Someone probably already wrote it, but the "Anna" cover is sung by Lennon. Harrison sings "Chains" and "Do you to know a secret"....

Great reaction. It's up to your usual thoughtful, discerning standard. Keep it up! I love that you're exploring the evolution of the Beatles' discography. Their early stuff was all about love, it was their take on the conventional love songs that dominated the pop scene at the time. And while romantic love continued to occupy their lyrics for the next few albums, with each passing one, you can clearly see how quickly they were maturing musically and lyrically. When you check out their next album, released in the U.S., "Meet the Beatles", you'll see what I mean. I'll be joining you on this Bealtes retrospective for sure!

[@benlewis6453]

I particularly like how they developed the concept of love in their songs from this romantic teen ideal to a universal cosmic force - I think love was their central message (no matter their failings as individual humans) - a welcome antidote to the hate pumped out by politicians earlier in the twentieth century

I respect you, man. There are so few ppl who take the time to listen to songs that only get better with age. Unlike the majority of the ppl in their 20s and under, you know what good music sounds like. Keep it up ;)

A lot of these songs are remakes: Anna (That's John's lead vocal), Chains, Boys, Baby It's You (John's Lead vocal there too), A Taste of Honey, and Twist & Shout. When they were playing in Liverpool and Hamburg, they mostly played covers. Keep in mind, this was their FIRST studio album.

The individual Beatles tracks are more of a later album thing (starts around Rubber Soul / Revolver) in most of the early songs John and Paul used to sing together.

McCartney has said he used Chuck Berry’s bassline from “I’m Talking About You” for “I Saw Her Standing There”.

Their evolution musically over the years is truly mind blowing 🤯. Best band , hands down. The End.

Did you see his Revolver reaction?

[@sara.val3ncia]

So excited for all the Beatles album reactions! There’s literally something for everyone, The Beatles are unmatched! ❤

[@xavi12R]

I think its pretty cool how you already knew the beatles and you were able to comment on each of their performances. Really enjoyed your input!

[@chrisr1976]

I love these videos. Watching you discover the magic of the Beatles takes me back to my childhood. And I was born in 76. I had to listen to everything they did.

Keep up the good job! Love that you do each album in full….makes me happy, as that’s how we first heard these songs…Please sometimes do, Maybe I’m Amazed, by Paul…

[@fredpsal]

Love Me Do was their 1st single (in England). Please, Please Me was their 1st #1 single.

Can't wait to see your other Beatles reactions! Just turned notifications on.

I saw her standing there was Pauls incredible early hit song! The Beatles started off with a Banger! Twist and Shout ended the album with a bang and great three part harmonies!

[@fortepiano4491]

I'm sure you've already corrected yourself on who sung what and I personally don't care for that type of thing, but yes John and George sounded very similar back then.

[@johncheney950]

The best thing to do is to start with their first album and go from there. That way, you can see the BEATLES grow musically from beginning to end. It was and stll is an amazing transformation. Cheers!

[@ShakenBacon2005]

i know like half of the songs on the first few albums are covers but i couldn’t tell you which ones😂

[@althealligator1467]

Yoooo hype glad your're doing better. I actually have a soft spot for this album, like my top five Beatles albums are the 4 biggest classics (Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper's, The White Album, and Revolver) and then just this one. Idk it's just so fun.

Yessir I'm glad to be back 🙏🏾 That's the perfect way to describe this album, just a fun ass time from the moment you press play.
