One of the weakest albums in the Beatles' catalog. This release has no english counterpart; it is your typical american Capitol Beatles' lp -- eleven songs patched together from other british albums.
The highlights are "What You're Doing" and "Every Little Thing", two very pleasant pop tunes. A real surprise is "Kansas City / Hey Hey Hey" which is one of the Beatles' best rockers. As on "Long Tall Sally", McCartney challenges Little Richard's version of this song and wins by default. The Beatles wisely changed Holly's "Words of Love" very little. It's a nice tribute to Buddy.
"Yes It Is" is a melancholy beauty, with tasteful use of guitar feedback.
Except for the trademark guitar riff on "Eight Days a Week", the song is unremarkable, as is "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party". Add to the list of forgettable Beatles' songs "Tell Me What You See" and Harrison's awkward "You Like Me Too Much".
Curiously, Lennon seems uninspired on the Larry Williams' songs "Bad Boy" and "Dizzy Miss Lizzie". Maybe because Lennon did such a spectacular cover of Williams' "Slow Down" previously, these two songs seem to pale before the originals.
Truly, we can't blame the Beatles' for this collection. Capitol Records is the guilty party. And this compilation is easily the worst patchwork compilation of Beatles' tunes.

i have a record with a catalog number of ST 2358, but the the label isn't orange capitol or apple, it's black capitol with a color ring. so where does that leave me as far as pressing/reissue goes?
