Amazon.co.uk Review
They still had plenty of covers to fill out the running time, but the Lennon-McCartney writing team was gathering steam and beginning to knock out pop classics as if they were pulling them out of thin air. "All My Loving" and "I Wanna Be your Man" come from this record, issued hurriedly to capitalise on Beatlemania. But even when they were laying into some classic Chuck Berry, by this time the Beatles had acquired a unique sound in the blend of John's and Paul's voices, while George was coming on by leaps and bounds as a guitar player. While not absolutely essential, as a snapshot of a band in a place and time, With the Beatles is good for a smile. --Chris Nickson

This is just not a very good album!

Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but this one's pants. 'All My Loving' is the only highlight and is available on many compilation albums. Apart from that we have here a gathering of mediocre early compositions and a host of missable cover versions. There are so many excellent albums out there (including some from the Beatles) so why waste your money on this one?

Fabulous. This is the third purchase of the album - LP, cassette and now super stereo CD. What memories from 47 years ago......
A STRONG FOLLOWUP ALBUM - REMASTERED IN STEREO (FINALLY!)
Review date: 2010-02-24 Rating: 8 out of 10
The 2nd album from The Beatles finds them more self assured in the studio and the performances here show it. There are more original tracks and they are stronger than those on Please, Please Me. Paul's "All My Loving" for one would have been hit single (as it was in many other countries) though it was eventually further released on an EP of the same name in the UK & other territories such as here in Australia. That they chose not to release a single off this album speaks volumes for their prolific work ethic and productivity. The classic "I Want To Hold Your Hand"/"This Boy" 45 was actually released a week after this album came out.
I again listened to this on headphones. Due to the 2 track recording technology of this album the remastered sound is along the same lines of Please, Please Me, though it's actually an improvement in many ways in that the Instrument/Vocal left/right mix doesn't seem as pronounced even though it's still there. The echo while on some tracks isn't as evident either. In fact "Money" has a more centred stereo mix and sounds very strong because of it. Others such as It Won't be Long, All My Loving, Don't Bother Me, Not A Second Time, You Really Got A Hold On Me, Till There Was You, Please Mr. Postman & Roll Over Beethoven among others really benefit from the remastering. What is really evident to me is the thump from Ringo's bass drum...it never sounded more solid in previous issues. George's guitar work is outstanding and his development is very evident. John was very a very dominant vocal force on these early LP's (up until around Help!) and he sings lead on most tracks.
I've been comparing the 2009 Stereo & Mono remasters with their 1987 counterparts and the results are interesting. Overall both newly remastered versions sound fuller while the 1987 (Mono) CD sounds a little shrill by comparison. There are some differences in a couple of the mixes on this album particularly on Money where the guitar comes in prominently after the opening piano riff whereas on the Mono it's not as evident.
This is an ideal starting point for those new to the Beatles as it really captures the excitement of those times. With The Beatles 2009 remastered is an ideal addition to your CD collection.

If you don't have a copy of this album, it's well worth buying for the melodies. If you only have a mono copy, then the new remix should prove enjoyable although the original production was done with monophonic reproduction in mind.
As for the sound, don't expect more than a 1960s recording with the remix presenting a rather bright, even edgy sound on many tracks. Some of the music though is undeniably beautiful.
