Editorial Reviews

What can you say, really? When you get right down to it, it's the greatest band in the history of pop music, the most influential, the best writers, and whatever other superlatives you can think of. Given their phenomenal output, and their huge chart success, it's no surprise that this second volume proves every bit as rich as the first. John, Paul, George, and Ringo had that rare chemistry that moved musical mountains, with more great songs than many people have had hot dinners, and they're still affecting the course of popular music. Thirty years later, all the paths they hinted at have yet to be explored, which is about as high a testament as can be given. --Chris Nickson

5 out of 5 stars Past masters.......2007-06-27

I bought this for one song, "Rain," which is not available on any other U-S release, at least to my knowledge. It's simply the best drumming by Ringo Starr!

4 out of 5 stars The Inner Light.......2007-04-30

Most of the songs on this disc have always been available on LP. But this disc contains two songs that were never on any LP. You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) is an interesting novelty piece, but basically a throw-away. The Inner Light, on the other hand, is a great Harrison song.
The Inner Light is the main reason to buy this disc.
Also, if you feel that it is essential to have cd versions of great Beatles songs like Hey Jude and Rain, this is a good disc to have.
My disc is broken. It won't play Hey Jude. So I have to take away one star in my rating. Otherwise, this is a five star disc. I don't blame The Beatles for my defective cd, but my rating system is tough. I don't give five stars easily.

5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Beatles Sampler! .......2007-03-05

If I had to pick my single favorite Beatles compilation album, it would not be 1, the Red or Blue albums, or any of the other sliced-and-diced Beatles packages of the last thirty years; it would be this odd-ball compilation.

Every song on this disc is a pure pleasure to listen to, and the scope and artistry of these pieces are amazing! The way the Beatles mined such divers sources as pop, folk, jazz, metal, traditional Indian, gospel, blues, acid-rock, classical and comedy is utterly mind-boggling! I can't see how you could possibly be disappointed with this.

5 out of 5 stars Like the 1st, an essential.......2007-02-09

Okay, so I could've done without Harrison's dated, Indian-influenced toss-off b-side The Inner Light. And the four new Yellow Submarine songs (Hey Bulldog; It's All Too Much; Only a Northern Song; All Together Now) would've been appreciated. Still, this is an essential CD to round out your Beatles collection, especially if you've got all 13 studio albums, but don't have (or want) to buy any of the greatest-hits albums to get Hey Jude and such. All of the Beatles' single-only tracks from the day are included here: the aforementioned Hey Jude (and its equally brilliant b-side Revolution, a hardrocker that blows most other rockers off the map): Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out; Paperback Writer/Rain; Lady Madonna/The Inner Light; Hey Jude/Revolution; Get Back/Don't Let Me Down; The Ballad of John and Yoko/Old Brown Shoe and Let It Be (the non-Spector mix)/You Know My Name (Look Up the Number), seven classic singles, are represented here, as is the "wildlife" version of Across the Universe, which admittedly isn't as good as the de-Spectorized take on Let It Be... Naked. Fourteen of these fifteen are indespensible, even the silly You Know My Name (Look Up the Number), an irresistably strange mutlipart experiment. Some of their greatest ballads (Hey Jude; Let It Be; Don't Let Me Down; We Can Work It Out), but there are also some of their best hard rockers: if someone tells you the Beatles couldn't rock out, play them Day Tripper; Paperback Writer; Rain; Revolution and the brassy Lady Madonna, all crunchy rockers with Paul playing ridiculously complex bass. One last note on Rain: if any Beatles number is underrated, it's this one. Love that tune, sort of a cousin to Tomorrow Never Knows that would've fit perfectly on Revolver. Be sure to have this!!
Why don't the Rolling Stones or the Who have collections like these? Both bands recorded some quality single-only material that is now fairly hard to find, except through greatest-hits albums.
