We have written about the movie before and won’t re-hash that. Besides, it’s the album we are reviewing here.
For the film, The Beatles produced a complete collection of songs and the film makers chose the ones they liked that fit best. This is side one of the album. The rejects are side two.
It’s the first Beatles’ album to be all self-composed. No covers here. It’s also the last until Rubber Soul.
There’s something about the production on this album that sets it apart. It sounds more dense, clearer (if that’s not a contradiction), like more time has been spent on it.
And the cover pushes it even further up the list.
