    In retrospect, it is nothing less than awesome to consider the changes that had occurred in popular music from the Beatles appearance on the American scene in 1964 until the summer of 1966, a scant two and-a-half years later.

    Has any other time in recorded history ever seen such drastic change in the fundamental style of pop music? For a point of reference, compare “I Want to Hold Your Hand” to “Tomorrow Never Knows.” The Beatles weren’t changing with the times, they were inventing them as they went along, and then taking the rest of the world with them. This is the album before “Sgt. Pepper” and in some ways this album is even more remarkable in that it captures the band at the most diverse point of its existence, with songs that ranged from sweet to sour, innocent to intense. Of course the British release was superior because it held three extra tracks, but this is the way the album was presented in America.

    Featured tracks include;

    1. Taxman
    2. Eleanor Rigby
    3. Love You To
    4. Here, There and Everywhere
    5. Yellow Submarine
    6. She Said She Said
    7. Good Day Sunshine
    8. For No One
    9. I Want to Tell You
    10. Got to Get You Into My Life
    11. Tomorrow Never Knows
