IN THE BEGINNING

IN THE BEGINNING : THE BEATLES featuring TONY SHERIDAN : This is a sham. A rip off, designed to make some money of The Beatles after they have became famous. The Beatles themselves would never have let this album sees the light of day were they in control and the quality shows. I would never have got this CD too if not for the low price that I got it for. A mere RM 10.00 for just Beatles name on the CD's cover is worth it I figured.

Ain't She Sweet : The same version as on the Anthology 1 CD.

Cry For A Shadow : Like wise with this track. It was on the Anthology 1 CD.

Let's Dance : A decent track although the sound of The Beatles was not so prominence.

My Bonnie : The inclusive of this historical track somewhat raised the level of this CD a notch higher 'cos the Anthology 1 version have Paul McCartney's speech included into the song so that did not made it a stand along track.

Take Out Some Insurance On Me, Baby : A rather forgettable track that would not be out of place on the 'Live At The BBC' CD.

What'd I Say : Likewise with this track.

Sweet Georgia Brown : I remember hearing a rather interesting version of this song sometime in my early youth but this was not it.

When The Saints Goes Marching In : I like this song 'cos I've been singing in during my Hash House Harriet days and this version is okay I guess without being outstanding.

Ruby Baby : Another forgettable track.

Why : Yet another one. Really if not for the boys, I wouldn't really have bother.

Nobody's Child : I first heard this one by Karen Young and that version and this song remained my steadfast favorite. This version made it just another normal song.

Yaya : The final song, what a relief, is another feeble attempt at rock 'n' roll. John Lennon did a short demo of this with his son, Julian at the drum on his "Wall And Bridges" album and later did a full version for his Rock 'n' Roll album. Needless to say, this version beats neither of them. Yawn.
