Not really a Beatle album but released as such. The Beatle's song on it are of course majestic but side two, the George Martin score, ain't what Beatle-o-philes would've been looking for. Still the four new songs on side 1 offer some great Beatle moments. The throw away 'All Together Now' is as catchy as it is simple and the two George songs, 'Only a Northern Song' and 'It's All Too Much' are great examples of psychedelic rock!!!
However BEST of all is the scintillating 'Hey Bulldog'!!!! I ADORE this song and am staggered that it doesn't register on the 'Beatle Radar' of casual fans!!! This song must simply be introduced to any casual Beatle fan for sheer evidence of what a GREAT rock outfit The Beatles were. The voices, the smashing piano, the RIFF and the scathing, mercurial lead guitar solo from George makes this John song one of his great 'late period Beatle' songs!!! Top 5.... EASILY!!!
