A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (1964) Producer: George Martin A Hard Day's Night I Should Have Known Better If I Fell I'm Happy Just to Dance with You And I Love Her Tell Me Why Can't Buy Me Love Any Time At All I'll Cry Instead Things We Said Today When I Get Home You Can't Do That I'll Be Back Released in 1964, A Hard Day's Night is The Beatles' third album and a soundtrack to a film of the same name, which starred the Fab Four in the leading roles. Thankfully, this isn't a concept album, and the songs have nothing whatsoever to do with the film. So you don't have to have ...  Read the complete review

"A Hard Day`s NIght" was the first and only album to feature all Lennon/McCartney songs and for that reason amongst others it stands out as the best of their early offerings. It was the album of the film as they say but it was much more than that, it was a "tour de force" at the time. Just when the critics wanted the fab four to fail they pulled an absolute cracker out of the bag, so good that they had the majority of their Christmas album left over (Beatles for Sale) which was not too shabby in itself. It starts off with "I Should`ve Known Better" which was predominately John An up-tempo start, Just a pop song, well ...  Read the complete review

My review of A Hard Day's Night Album- by The Beatles A Hard Day's Night - accompanied the (surprisingly good) pop music movie of the same name, and was an instant success!! This was the very first Beatles album to have all self penned songs... Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry etc covers - John, Paul George & Ringo had come of age and had now developed the confidence to rely solely on their own compositions. There are many great tracks on offer here -highlights include; I'll Be Back -one of the best melodies of all time (in my opinion), with a very adventurous chord construction (hoping between minor to major root key- still not ...  Read the complete review

When The Beatles first signed up to star in their first motion picture 'A Hard Day's Night', one thing was obvious: Lennon and McCartney would be working overtime in the recording studio compiling tracks for an album release! And indeed they were as the soundtrack to their first movie contained 13 songs, some of which were used in the movie and some which were just thrown onto the CD for the hell of it. One of the most iconic things about the album itself is its title: as explained on The Beatles Anthology DVD set, by Sir Paul, Ringo Starr was one of those fellows who constantly got mixed up with his words. One night, after a busy day of filming, the drummer apparently ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, A Hard Day's Night is the pinnacle of the Beatles early records. Their third album and the first to feature entirely original compositions (a novelty in 1964), here the band can be found justifying their position as the most popular band in the world with a sparkling set of peerless pop songs. Prepped as a soundtrack to the showcase film of the same title, the album zips by in just over 30 minutes, successfully conveying the sense of fun pervasive in the movie. The title track and songs such as 'I Should Have Known Better' and 'Tell Me Why' show this approach in full effect, jubilant harmonies and peppy, bright arrangements create a joyous ...  Read the complete review
