Hard Day's Night, A (Original Soundtrack) - Beatles (The)

...their first motion picture ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, one thing was obvious: Lennon and McCartney would be working overtime in the recording studio compiling tracks for an album release! And indeed they were as the soundtrack to their first movie contained 13 songs, some of which were used in the movie and some which were just thrown onto the CD for the hell of it. Well, perhaps there were some other reasons for the six non-film tracks being included ...
...armchair proclaiming ‘that’s been a hard day’s night’ and that’s how the title for the movie and indeed the title song were born. It’s a cute little story but whether it’s true or not is questionable as there are reports that Lennon used to say that upon coming off stage in the bands early days in Hamburg and way before Richard Starkey joined the soon to be Fab Four. However, it doesn’t matter where the name came from as this doesn’t stop the soundtrack ...

Review of Hard Day's Night, A (Original Soundtrack) - Beatles (The)

...their first legendary movie 'A Hard Day's Night'. 1. A Hard Day's Night - This was their 7th single and 6th consecutive No. 1. It's a great way to start the album as it begins by struggling you with its impressive opening electric guitar chord, and later puts you into the deepest musical trance full of speed, with its up-tempo structure and piano solo. 2. I Should Have Known Better - This is a lennon track with a flowing beat. 3. If I Fell - This ...
...B-side to the single 'A Hard Days Night'. 11. When I Get Home - Written by Lennon with great harmonies and guitar work. 12. You Can't Do That - This was the B-side to the single 'Can't Buy Me Love' and showed the lead guitarist John singing another love story and playing an amazing solo procing that their B-sides would all have been worthy singles. 13. I'll Be Back - A tender acoustic ballad sung in two and three-part harmonies. I think what really ...

Review of Hard Day's Night, A (Original Soundtrack) - Beatles (The)

Hi: "A hard day's night" was the third album the beatles would released, on july 1964. With this album, the beatles would open the United States doors to their music. In fact, the single from this album would reach the number one at the States charts (of course, same as in England). The album would sell more than a million and a half copies in just two weeks in the UK, the fastest selling album in the British history. For the first time for the ...
...band at 1964). "A hard day's night" would also became the first film for the Bealtles, in wich you can hear the whole A side of the album. On the album Ringo doesn't compose nor sung any song, but on the movie, he is kind of the main star. The idea of the album cover (a lot of Beatles faces photographs) was taken from a scene in the film in which many photographers annoy the Beatles by taking numerous photos of them. And now, the songs, are the ...

Review of Hard Day's Night, A (Original Soundtrack) - Beatles (The)

“A Hard Day’s Night” was the first film of The Beatles, and the soundtrack accompanying the movie was every bit as good an made as much of an impact as the film itself. The idea for the film was had as early as 1963, when The Beatles were not outstandingly popular, and certainly hadn’t reached the dizzy heights of fame achieved in later years. When the film was made, EMI decided that a soundtrack of completely new songs had to be made to go with ...
...provided the perfect title: “A Hard Day’s Night”. The title song was the first on the album and the addition of George’s ‘G’ note being held is possibly one of the most recognisable of any Beatles song. This song started a pattern that was followed for the rest of The Beatles’ career: of the Beatles singing the part of the song (or the whole song) that they had written. A memorable song to follow was “If I Fell” written by Lennon. It was later seen ...

Review of Hard Day's Night, A (Original Soundtrack) - Beatles (The)

Over half of the songs on the Beatles' third album appeared in their first movie, and this was the first album - in fact, the only one of their career - to feature nothing but Lennon-McCartney compositions, though admittedly the majority were mainly John's work. At last they had a chance to come into their own as writers, and what a batch of songs they offered us. The exuberant title track, the previous single "Can't Buy Me Love", and the harmonica-led ...
...Beatles classics. Only the ballads "If I Fell" and "And I Love Her" slowed the pace down. The songs on the other side have generally been overlooked, but there's nothing substandards about rockers like "Any Time At All" or "I'll Cry Instead", the first of mainly Beatles songs to be coveed by Joe Cocker, while "Things We Said Today" is one of Paul's most enduring ballads. One or two songs on the album don't quite make it - "I'll Be Back" and "I'm ...
