Editorial Review: Album Description: A Hard Day's Night was the first Beatles album of all-original material, and the first to feature George Harrison playing his Rickenbacker electric 12-string guitar (on the opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night," for instance). The distinctive sound of the 12-string inspired countless guitarists including Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds. The film from which these songs hail remains a classic combination of happy 1960s naivete and nascent hipster wit. Many of the most important rock bands to emerge in the latter half of the '60s came into being because of A Hard Day's Night's irresistible vibrancy. The tunes flow like the finest red wine, as the title track leads to the glorious harmonica of "I Should Have Known Better" and the powerfully poignant "If I Fell." EMI. 2005. Discount Shopping: Strummmmm! That dramatic guitar chord that kicks of A Hard Day's Night (album, song, movie) still jumps right out at you, slaps you in the face, and jump-starts your heart. And you know what? Both the music and the film are still as crisp and lively as they were in 1964. Of course, only the first seven songs are actually in the movie (and they are the strongest of the bunch, from the rousing rock & roll of the title track and the hit single "Can't Buy Me Love," to the beautiful ballads "If I Fell" and "And I Love Her"). But nobody's going to complain about having songs like "I'll Cry Instead" and "Things We Said Today" in the second half of the record; they sure don't feel like leftovers. Yet another high-point for John, Paul, George, and Ringo--four fab fellows who hit the highest heights imaginable. --Jim Emerson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Don't use this businessThe CD was not in new condition case had 5 cuts, music skipped. Tried NUMEROUS times to contact business but NEVER heard from them. Don't buy from them! Rating:  - Classic AlbumThe Beatles by this album were starting to devlop better songs, and were slowly but starting to drift away from the pop music scene. As you A Hard Days Night, is a movie and a good album, and the movie has remained a classic rock movie to this day. Of course the album, A Hard Days Night is really just the soundtrack too the movie but still deserves credit. The title track, "A Hard Days Night", is the best song on this whole album and has a good riff to it. Other good songs on here are, "I Should ... Read More Rating: - Beatles classicIt's The Beatles. What more is there to say, really? Okay - it's not a compilation called love or some such nonsense - it's the real deal. The breakout, if you will. Rating: - One Of Their BestI have had this before on cassette for years. I'm a beatle fan. I think this is their best probably from the early years (at least the first 4 albums) but it is subjective. So many songs are just fun and upbeat or just well done. You know the songs most likely already. Rating: - A Musical SupernovaI have listened to every Beatles album over and over and over again. I have had times where each of the albums have been my favorite and where each album I have been sick of. I have endlessly played and replayed passages from nearly all the songs to grok on what makes them tick. After such a thorough "wringing out" of each album, it is my opinion that a Hard Day's Night is the greatest Beatle album in that it had the greatest intensity of creativity in the shortest time span.
