As You know the first few Albums had a sprinkling of Covers, due to a lack of Lennon-McCartney songs. On The First 5 Albums (Including the Long Tall Sally LP), Which do you prefer? I say Covers

It depends. There are some really good covers (“Money,” “Till There Was You ,” and “Twist And Shout ,” for example), but there are some really bad ones too. (“Mr. Moonlight,” etc.)
And don't forget the awesome originals: “I Saw Her Standing There ,” “Please Please Me ,” “There's a Place,” etc.
As a whole, I like the Lennon-McCartney originals best.

Offline 1. “Mr. Moonlight” has one saving grace: the opening. After that… 
2. “I Saw Her Standing There ” is an awesome album opener: It's a rocker, which kicks off the album; it's an original, which gives people a taste of what the songwriters can do; and it's a catchy song to sing along to, which is why Paul plays it at concerts. Also, awesome bass part.

Offline 1. Who doesn't love that Opening?
2. Lennon and McCartney could have been sued because McCartney stole the Bassline from Chuck Berry. I guess they needed a fast, original opener to Please Please Me , but Why not use the Title Track?

2. Maybe it's so people will put in the record expecting to hear the title track, but have to listen until track 7. Anyway, I don't think anyone really noticed the kidnapped bassline except the Beatles and maybe Chuck Berry.

Offline What was the case with Berry vs. Beach Boys ? I'm pretty sure it's not that they put one of his basslines into their songs. After all, the Beatles took lots of ideas from other artists and put them into their songs.

Offline Well, at that time, basslines weren't really the big, distinctive part of the songs. Lyrics, melody, and sometimes guitar solos were the things that made you think, “Hey! That song sounds like that other song!”

There's also a difference between plagiarism and allusions/parodies.

2. I get that fact, but John was sued over less legally damaging stuff

Offline Well, Paul never got sued for “I Saw Her Standing There ,” so I don't think anyone cares about the similarities.
So, what don't you like about “I Saw Her Standing There ?” I don't think I asked you that– I just gave my reasons why it's a great early song.
