The Early Beatles does not represent its songs in the sequence -- or in their exact content -- that its makers intended; not by a long shot. That said, this is also the way that tens of millions of listeners in the U.S. did hear this material between 1965 and 1983. And of course, any means by which one gets to hear 11 1963-vintage tracks by the Beatles is OK. Whatever particular order or specifics of the songs, the listening experience will stack up well against any other 11 songs by anybody else who was walking around back then. So this record still rates high, though not as high as it might, because it isn't the ideal format for the music. By way of explanation, when the Beatles' earliest recordings for EMI's Parlophone Records in England were originally offered to Capitol Records -- EMI's American outlet -- in 1963, there was no interest, based on the poor performance of virtually any British rock & roll on the American charts up to that time. Instead, EMI signed licensing agreements for those early singles with the Chicago-based VeeJay Records, who were willing to take a chance and ended up doing very well with these songs, once the group broke through in America at the end of 1963 and the beginning of 1964. Capitol Records found the 13 early sides in question out of reach legally, thanks to those licenses. Cut to early 1965 and the end of those licensing agreements -- Capitol was now entitled to release them in the U.S. and assembled The Early Beatles, which proclaimed: "11 of their hit 1964 recordings NOW ON CAPITOL" on the front cover, overlooking the fact that everything here was from 1963 (or, in the case of "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," from 1962), and using a group shot from 1965, which showed the four bandmembers looking surprisingly serious (especially Ringo) -- or is it just some weariness in their eyes?
