The Beatles - With The Beatles (EMI) (Stereo) (180g)

Limited edition 180-gram, audiophile vinyl LP pressing of this album from the Fab Four comes housed in replicated artwork. There was no slumping on The Beatles' sophomore album, "With The Beatles." This 1963 gem rocked harder, and it showed greater song-writing talent. Plus, the covers they did were pretty hot, too. How can you go wrong with their enthusiastic "All My Loving," "Please Mister Postman," and "Roll Over Beethoven"? Not that you could go wrong with "It Won't Be Long," "Hold Me Tight" and "You Really Got a Hold on Me." This vinyl pressing contains the 2009 digital remaster of the album, making it sound more vibrant and electrifying than ever before. Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180 Gram

This is the one that turned the world upside-down. Released as its creators evolved from pop group to phenomenon, WITH THE BEATLES both affirmed promise and proclaimed genius. A slew of memorable Lennon/McCartney compositions embraced pop at its most multi-faceted, robust, melancholic, excited, and wistful. Their grasp of melody and harmony startled, yet for every unusual chord sequence employed, the Beatles' vigor and sense of purpose remained true. Influences and mentors were acknowledged by a handful of cover versions, but the strength of the album lies in the group's own creations. WITH THE BEATLES freed artists to record their own material, and the course of pop was irrevocably changed.

The Beatles: John Lennon (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, harmonica, Hammond organ, tambourine); George Harrison (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars); Paul McCartney (vocals, piano, electric bass, claves); Ringo Starr (vocals, drums, bongos, maracas).
