EASILY All My Loving.

This is altogether a very weak album.

Here's how I would rank the songs:

1. All My Loving
2. I Wanna Be Your Man
3. Hold Me Tight
4. Money (That's What I Want)
5. You Really Got A Hold On Me
6. Please Mr. Postman
7. Roll Over Beethoven
8. Till There Was You
9. Devil In Her Heart
10. Little Child
11. It Won't Be Long
12. Don't Bother Me
13. Not A Second Time
14. All I've Got To Do

I can understand it not being some peoples favourite, being from the dark ages of 1963, but to call it "weak."!!!!! IMO it's a superb album, a huge step up from Please Please Me, the first indication of their true genius and far more coherent and pleasing than the ditherings of For Sale and Help!

I think Please Please Me was joyfull and with energy ... originals are superb and only a couple of covers sounds aw-full to me: A Taste Of Honey and Boys ... but in With The Guys we've got:

Little Child, Hold Me Tight and I Wanna Be Your Man ... nothing special on those (terrible, some) ... and I don't want to talk about the covers ....

The covers are better than those on Beatles For Sale.

Curio-us to me ...

Let's take a view to their ... their classic covers? (I mean those that they performed on stage during most of their tours and gigs) ... and to the weird ones too ...

from Please Please Me :

1. Twist And Shout (John) (Hamburg till the end)
... and no more 'cos Boys was played just a few times ...

from Wth The Guys:

1. Roll Over Beethoven (George) (Hamburg till mid 60s)
2. Money (That's All I Want) (John) (lots of times)
... and no more 'cos Till There Was You and You Really Got A Hold On Me (on stage by late 63 ... till mid 64?)

from Guys For Sale:

1. Rock And Roll Music (John)
2. Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hoy, Hey (Paul)
3. Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby (George)
... all of these well-known classics till the end ...

--------------------

They also loved obscure covers, didn't they ...

from Please Please Me could be:

Chains, A Taste Of Honey, Anna (Go To Him)

from Wth The Guys:

Devil In Her Heart, Till There Was You

from Guys For Sale:

Mr. Moonlight, Words Of Love



What I'm trying to say is that they recorded some classics and some obscure covers on each album till mid-60s: Rubber Soul, right? (except for A Hard Day's Night -because they cheated including the 4 songs of the singles, ... they'd only got 9 songs for that album, only one more than usual-) ...

... but it seems that the album that contains the most classics of their repertoire and the less-east weird ones is precisalley Guys For Sale ...

... a different thing is if you like those covers ... but at least those audiences seemed to do it ... and The Guys them-helves (how many times John, Paul and George played Rock And Roll Music (John), Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hoy, Hey (Paul) and Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby (George)?) ...

After all, their original songs on With The Guys are not as great as the ones on other albums and that's the week-east point for it ...
