Recorded in between a cup of tea and a cigarette, this album is raw yet dazzling. Here were four lads, highly experienced on stage, but with little or no idea of what a recording studio was like. They were subtly marshalled by the much-respected George Martin to deliver an entire album that was exactly what the fans wanted, but was still a surprise. Things were never as simple as this again, yet the genius is there. Examples are Lennon`s unmatchable rasping on "Twist And Shout," McCartney`s graceful ease in singing "I Saw Her Standing There," Harrison`s sparse but definite Gretsch chords, and Starr`s ace vocal on "Boys."
