Another mix of covers and original Lennon/McCartney compositions following their debut Please Please Me. The covers are performed with mixed results. Both Please Mr. Postman and You Really Got A Hold On Me have become Beatles songs over the years. And you might argue the same goes for Money. But their version of Roll Over Beethoven pales next to Chuck Berry´s original. The songs written by John and Paul are more or less OK. Nothing here really impresses me. George makes his first contribution with Don´t Bother Me and indeed, it doesn´t bother me but that’s all.
One early Classic here namely All My Loving. That´s not enough to make this album worth owning unless you want to collect everything the Beatles ever produced. Which, by itself, is a very nice hobby!
