I enjoyed listening to an early Beatles classic! This was excellent throughout, and for listening to the precursor sound that would mature over the next few years... Favs included "Please Mr. Postman" & "Roll Over Beethoven"... Released the year I was born, and on the day that JFK was assassinated, and the only reason I did not rate it a "5", is because I reserve that rating for truly exceptional albums... The Beatles would not have achieved their legendary song-writing prowess, without this stepping-stone album in their evolution...
