This is the first GREAT Beatles album in my opinion. Like the rest of the planet, I prefer the later Beatles albums more than the early albums but I still think there is a place for their more poppy music. Its more simple than the later stuff but I find it charming in a way similar to other music from the early 60s. This album is loaded with classic tunes and on top of that its nice and short. A real easy listen! Also the film that accompanies this album is really fun! Favorite track: And I Love Her
