So where do The Beatles take their third album? They decide that they will now write the ENTIRE album!!! No more covers, no more favs from the Cavern days... just 13 entirely new and original songs from the remarkable Lennon and McCartney. In fact this is the ONLY Beatle album to consist of just Lennon and McCartney songs... Future albums (except two) of course contained ALL Beatle originals however they also contained Harrison and Starr originals!
And what of the quality of this album??? My oh my... 'A hard day's night', 'Can't buy me love', 'And I love her', 'If I fell' just to name a few of the standards not to mention the pulsating 'I should have known better' and the awesome 'Things we said today' (personally one of my 'Top 5' Beatle songs... as a side note, you should know that I have about 123 Top 5 Beatle songs!!!!)
'You can't Do That' and 'I'll be Back' again displaying the extraodinary song writing talents of John and Paul. To think that 'on demand' they came up with these songs because the movie director, Richard Lester, (directing 'A Hard Day's Night') wanted music for the fillm!!! Sure, no problems.... just 13 songs in one month!!!!
