Past Masters, Vol. 2

Past Masters, Vol. 1 Although they were probably the band that most transformed rock from a singles medium to an album-oriented form, the Beatles also released many singles and EP tracks that never made it onto albums. In the U.S., Capitol turned the group's early LPs, through Sgt. Pepper's Lonely He...	A Hard Day's Night Strummmmm! That dramatic guitar chord that kicks of A Hard Day's Night (album, song, movie) still jumps right out at you, slaps you in the face, and jump-starts your heart. And you know what? Both the music and the film are still as crisp and lively as they were in 1964. Of cour...	Magical Mystery Tour The album feels even more like a collection of singles (instead of an actual movie soundtrack) than Help! or A Hard Day's Night, but maybe that's because every song sounds like it could have been a hit single--with the natural exception of the goofy/weird instrumental "Flying." E...	Please Please Me Their first-ever album, raw and rough and still very rock & roll. Lennon and McCartney begin to flex their writing muscles and had already scored two UK hits when this appeared, but they still relied heavily on the cover material to see them through. Their insecurity about their ...	Help! [UK] How John Lennon's confessional song became the title for a silly James Bond spoof I really don't know. The funny thing is, it works both ways--as a young man's personal statement about learning to open up to others, and as the frantic theme for an exotic espionage chase comed...
Abbey Road The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the ...	The Beatles (The White Album) Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height o...

An object lesson in fitting great songwriting into experimental production and genre play, this is also a record whose influence extends far beyond mere...	Let It Be Sloppy in conception, and even sometimes in the playing, Let It Be often gets a bad rap. Unfairly, as it's often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles' "better" albums; it's also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the sto...

5 Star!!
My mom had this cd but she lost it.I bought "Past Masters-Vol.2",my favorite songs are "Day Tripper","We Can Work It Out","Paperback Writer" and "Hey Jude".Before I was born my mom went to see The Beatles perform at Will Call coliseum in Cincinnati.This cd is a must keep for a true Beatles fan.

New mixes are EXCELLENT
Others here have railed against the stereo mixes on the CD, as compared to the mono releases done originally. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the original mono releases. But the stereo mixes on this CD are very worthwhile and in every case improve the listenability and punch. Also, glitches that appeared in the original mixes have been either highly glossed over or are completely absent on the CD. Lady Madonna is the shining example of a superior-in-stereo mix. In the original mono mix, the piano, bass, and guitar all come out just fine. But what George Martin has done in the remix on this CD is stunning in its simplicity and directness - the piano intro starts off in one channel, and then the bass kicks in in the other channel, and the result is powerful, really emphasizing the funk that was there all along but somehow never came through in the mono mix. It's using the same simple mixing techniques that many original Beatles albums had, but to remarkable effect.

Classic Beatles
Great collection of songs that I'm so glad have place to call home on a "real" Beatles album. For those of you who don't know what the Past Master's series are, they are all the songs that The Beatles produced that were only released on singles, not on an album. And this is of course referring to the albums released in the UK (the only ones that really matter). So many great songs. I love it and i was super excited i didn't have to get every single lame American version albums to get own every Beatles song recorded.

Better than expected
The product arrived quicker than was promised and was overall better than expected. You'd be crazy not to buy from this seller!

Pure Magic!!!!
All Beatle fans out there,if you don't have this get it. You will not be sorry!!! Also if you can afford it get the Beatles Anthology. Most excellent.
