The Beatles 1963 first album,Please Please Me Recorded amazingly in only one day,and had quite a few John Lennon and Paul McCartney orginals including the great early Paul rocker,I Saw Her Standing There.And John's incredible great rock vocal on Twist and Shout recorded in just one take when he had a bad sore throat from a cold.


When you really consider the context of the times,no rock,pop rock,rock n roll bands were writing their own songs,(and John & Paul were already amazingly writing hits for other artists by 1963 just when their own song writing success was getting off the ground,they wrote hits for Peter and Gordon,Billy J.Kramer and The Dakotas and even gave The Rolling Stones one of their first hits,later in the year,with the rock n roll song,I Wanna Be Your Man)and playing all of their own instruments very good,and singing very good and the music stars at the time were,Bobby Vinton,The Four Seasons,Bobby Darin,etc yuck!


The Beatles early songs including She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand were quite ahead of their time then,(and even though their early lyrics were simple,a lot of their music was not as I already pointed out even music critics of the London Times etc noticed and pointed out their unusual,interesting chords and how they arranged them.And even though these songs sound somewhat dated like 1963,they are still good songs now.Amazingly most of their music even a lot of their songs from 1964 don't sound dated,(except for the limited recording technology they had back then and only 2 track,4 track and 8 track recording at the end of their remarkable career)they just sound like great timeless music that doesn't sound like it came from any particular time period.Even on the great early 1964 A Hard Day's Night album,John 's great rocker You Can't Do That,Paul's great rocker Can't Buy Me Love don't really sound that much from 1964, Paul's beautiful acoustic songs,And I Love Her and Things We Said Today and John's gorgeous acoustic guitar song,I'll Be Back wirh beautiful guitar chords,beautifully arranged and played,their typical beautiful meodies and harmonies,John's typical beautiful voice and their beautiful acoustic guitar playing,sound like they could have come out right now.


And the last great album they recorded,the incredibly great,brilliant amazingly modern sounding rock album,Abbey Road sounds like it just came out this second,except it's much better than anything that came out from anybody else now!Only the brilliant Beatles could have made such a great modern sounding rock album in the height of the hippie movement in 1969,that sounds like it's brand new!
