To be honest I think that any producer could have sat behind the control board and fiddled with the dials with the absolute stunning selection of catchy two and a half minute pop songs the Beatles presented! What was wrong with the Beatles taking a stab at some show tunes? It was probably collectively what they had listened to while in their adolescence. To a fourteen year old teen do you actually think that he cared that the Beatles interpretation of a music hall song was not spot on? Probably not because Good Day Sunshine, When I'm 64 and even Your Mother Should Have Known better all had the Beatles stamp of approval all over them! As far as the other songs mentioned such as Chains and You Really Got A Hold On Me are some of the best sung Beatle songs ever recorded. As stated in the documentray Standing In The Shadows Of Motown once we heard those guys meaning the Beatles we knew it was all over!
