With the Beatles

Rock
Rock

With the Beatles is a Rock act. Their sound grew out of John Coltrane, The Marvelettes, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson and Barrett Strong. Those roots explain a lot about how With the Beatles arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Wings, Paul McCartney & Wings, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, The Dirty Mac and The Mamas & the Papas, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Patti Smith, The Rolling Stones and Lou Reed, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around With the Beatles, reaching back through John Coltrane and forward to Patti Smith.

Background

With the Beatles is the second studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released in the United Kingdom on 22 November 1963 on Parlophone, eight months after the release of the band's debut album, Please Please Me. Produced by George Martin, the album features eight original compositions and six covers. The sessions also yielded the non-album single, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" backed by "This Boy". The cover photograph was taken by the fashion photographer Robert Freeman and has since been mimicked by several music groups. A different cover was used for the Australian release of the album, which the Beatles were displeased with.
