In the course of a 1000-word paper students should summarize the contemporary (i.e., 1960s) critical response to one of The Beatles' albums. In your discussion, you should focus on the following elements, using a minimum of four peer-reviewed secondary sources (NOT THE CONTEMPORARY REVIEWS--SCHOLARLY ARTICLES AND BOOKS) to support your assertions.
1) Title, year, and date of release of the album;
2) Brief overview of the critical response (summary of the main strands); THIS MEANS YOU MUST READ MULTIPLE REVIEWS FROM THE SIXTIES;
3) Discussion and quotation of specific critics' responses to illustrate your primary points;
4) Conclusion that considers the reasons behind the critical response, placing it within a historical context.
