Biography

The Beatles were the biggest musical phenomenon of the 20th century, being largely responsible for inventing pop music as we know it. No other musical act has been as critically praised or as commercially successful, and only Elvis Presley's emergence in the mid-50s can compete with the Beatles' in terms of width or depth of cultural influence. Comprising song-writing team John Lennon and Paul… Read more in Amazon's The Beatles Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording

Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One have released this single-disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though obviously superfluous to the faithful (who may also find themselves quibbling over the precise definition of "No. 1 hit" and the exclusion of seeming contenders like "Please Please Me" and "Strawberry Fields"), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades star cluster and other neophytes will find it a concise and generous (nearly 80 minutes) single-disc introduction to the band's career-spanning, unparalleled dominance of pop music in the 1960s. But beyond being a mere trophy case of commercial success (and it won't be hard to find critics who'll argue that these singles aren't even the band's best work), it's also a Cliff's Notes take on a remarkable seven-year run of musical evolution, one that stretches from the neo-skiffle of "Love Me Do" through a remarkable synthesis of R&B, rockabilly, Tin Pan Alley, gospel, country, and classical that still defies efforts to effectively deconstruct it. This is the pop monument equivalent of the '27 Yankees and '90s Bulls; it's every bit as obvious and dominating--and just as essential. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Hold it just a second!!, November 17, 2000
Woah, woah, woah... for all of those who dismiss this CD because these songs are already available elsewhere, or because it doesn't contain certain tracks let me explain something here. The purpose of realeasing this disc the way they did was to showcase, in chronological order mind you, all of the Beatles singles that went to #1 in either the UK or the US. Also, you can't ignore the fact that these tracks have been digitally remastered (spectacularly I might add... especially the earlier tracks!) In my opinion, this CD is worth purchasing merely for the marvelous remastering job of "Love Me Do" alone! In addition, the obvious dropouts towards the end of "Day Tripper" have been edited back into proper audibility. However, I do have one caveat with "She Loves You." In the original version, there is a nasty edit where the phrase "pride can hurt you too, apologize to her" is dropped in (apparently from a 45, due to a mangled or missing tape.) The engineers attempted to fix this in the remaster, and they succeeded in bringing that section back down to the same level volume-wise, but right before that phrase they've created an unintentional drop-out that, all in all, almost makes the new edit worse than the original!! Regardless, as an avid Beatles fan/collector, I deem this CD an essential purchase. And that's my two cents. Peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Audible Improvements, November 21, 2000
By R. Raiz (Cleveland Heights, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Maybe it's just my ears, but after listening to the 1 CD over the past week, I am convinced that EMI has finally done the Beatles catalog justice.

Unlike the Yellow Sub songtrack album, where the songs were remixed, sometimes with curious results, on 1 all you get is a remastered sound that brings out the crispness in guitar licks, thundering drum rolls and a deep, melodic bass. Just listen to Eight Days A Week for an example; unlike the version on Past Masters, you can really hear the rhythm guitar as if you are in the recording studio. In Penny Lane the trumpets have a great, majestic sound, framing heavenly flutes and precise vocals. In Come Together you can really hear the lead guitar.

It's my opinion that everyone should buy this CD. Redundant content; absolutely. Unparalleled sound; without a doubt. Now if they would only revisit the original albums and give them the same royal treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a garage band from Liverpool, November 19, 2000
By Ciaran Flynn (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
I bought this yesterday and as a life long Beatles fan who has all the albums its brillant. Sure it's more Paul than John but that doesnt detract. Its excellent to have all the songs on one CD.

As for the guy from Washington who says the quality is crap, get a new CD player man! The quality is excellent. In particular all the old tracks like I feel fine, I want to hold your hand etc. all the hissing from the original CDs (The black and White singles collection) is gone. Tracks like cant buy me love have bits I never heard before. All I can say is put it on, crank up the volume and enjoy the greatest rock n roll band of the twentieth and the twenty first century in clear sweet digital for the first time.
