The seminal 60's album for mine! A gorgeous blend of pure pop, great rock and heart wrenching ballads that are sequenced in a manner that defines pop music and the intent of pop music to make you feel good!
Yes The Beatles progression continues in the form of deeper lyrics ('You've Got to Hide Your Love Away'), orchestral embellishments ('Yesterday'), the introduction of heavy rock ('Ticket To Ride') and the title song that is as clever in lyrics as it is in it's genius arrangement...
Can I also add that 'You're Going to Lose That Girl' happens to be in my Beatle Top 5!!! Add to that Top 5 the hugely underrated 'It's Only Love' which has ALWAYS perplexed me (maybe it's John's droll delivery or that jangly guitar that keeps resurfacing?)
This is also the album where George make his mark as a writer (although he had written 'Don't Bother Me' on the earlier 'With The Beatles') and his two contributions, 'I Need You' (the double use of 'two, to' .... that's really cool) and 'You Like Me Too Much' add to the perfect 'pop-scape' that this album is!
