It would be a nice 4.5 rounded down to 4 just for personal taste. Whether it's a 4 or a 5, this gem remains an essential record for every fan of Pop, with a capital P. Unmistakable style and sounds (Phil Spector producing and co-authoring many tracks), the wonderful use of drums, and an immortal song like "Be My Baby." We are in 1964, and after almost 51 years, this still stands among the most beautiful pop records of all time.
