Of course the Capitol albums were totally jive but this is definitely one of the jivest. All but three songs are from A Hard Day’s Night, but totally shuffled. Fortunately that album is the peak of their early era so that music is welcome anywhere. Its just weird for it to be only slightly out of context. It’s cool to get “Slow Down” and “Matchbox” on record but who the hell needs a German version of “I Want To Hold Your Hand”? I mean, it’s amusing but that’s a bonus track n a much later box set at best. Capitol was squeezing so much product out of The Beatles and this album…I mean, even the title doesn’t give a shit.
That said, this record kicks.
Of course it does….
