Those early Beatles' albums, most notably the second, with its Robert Freeman-shot iconic cover, are a reminder of just what a great r&b groove the lads had with Ringo's drumming and Paul's bass really locking the band in the pocket - they were kinda funky. That is something the Stone's never had until more recently with Darryl Jones on bass and Steve Jordan drumming. Indeed, one of the few that did groove was the McCoy's 'Hang of Sloopy', and that was because Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie (Aretha, James Brown, Steely Dan, Jeff Beck...) did the drumming. Mind, 'groove' wasn't yet in the white pop music lexicon. But listen to 'Money', 'Mr. Postman' and 'You've Really Got a Hold on Me' and those other r&b tracks the Beatles covered. You might be surprised by just how groovy they were.

Slim pickin's that year! Bruce Johnston, later a Beach Boy, released "Surfin' 'Round the World", Jan & Dean put out Drag City, and the Four Seasons released the deathless "Big Girls Don't Cry and Twelve Others". Such was the state of the music biz, in 1963. The Beatles were only available in the US on those VeeJay, Tollie, and Swan singles. All of them failed to chart.

Kai Winding recorded the first but semi-instrumental version of Time Is On My Side, but with backup vocals from sisters Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, and Cissy Houston. Irma Thomas only did the first vocal version. It does seem odd to think The Beach Boys and The Miracles each released three albums in 1963.

I never thought you would go back as early as 1963. John Lennon in fact sang lead on Do You Want To Know A Secret. You stated that The Beach Boys' album contained filler. But that was typical of albums from before the days of the the actual album era which began in 1966. In those days, albums were usually only issued on the back of hit singles, and were sometimes rush recorded. But that Beach Boys' album you mentioned was the second of three albums they had out that year. The follow-up album Little Deuce Coupe actually lifted four tracks from their three previous albums, with only eight new tracks. But two of them were filler, but the other six tracks were great. You spoke about the title track from their Surfer Girl album being great. But the song wasn't as new as people then thought, as there is a double CD Becoming The Beach Boys, containing all of their pre-Capitol recordings for the Candix label 1961-1962, most of them previously unreleased, and that had four earlier takes of Surfer Girl on it. The best CD reissue of that Surfer Girl album was not the one you mentioned, but coupled with their early 1964 album Shut Down Volume 2 (there never was a volume 1), and with bonus tracks. I took a listen to that John Coltrane track, and indeed there was a lot of pre-Eight Miles High on it. But the version i picked up was on his 1961 album Live At The Village Vanguard. Other albums you could have included are; Martha/Vandellas - Heatwave The Miracles - Doin' Mickey's Monkey The Marvelettes - The Marvellous Marvelettes The Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe Marvin Gaye - Live On Stage Mary Wells - Live On Stage Freda Payne - After The Lights Go Down Low And Much More!!! What about the various artists download only release - Motown Unreleased 1963. Here is a Marvin Gaye track on it which sounded years ahead of it's time. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3p_t9WPlKWdpLQ.html The Beatles' track you mentioned, Money, they first recorded in January 1962 during their demo sessions for the Decca label, after which Decca turned them down so they approached EMI Parlophone who signed them. A few of those tracks appeared on their double CD Anthology 1, but the rest have only appeared on bootlegs.

A local record store owner was telling me that Veejay made so much money releasing that version of theirs that even after being ordered to stop and paying several increased fines they still walked away with barrels of cash lol 😂. That's the reason for the poor quality, I believe it was pressed in India, but not 100 percent sure.
