An excellent compilation of the Beatles early years, it includes all their hit singles and some of their more famous album tracks. Nevertheless, a much better buy would be the original studio albums from this period. (US:3 UK:3)
“The Beatles are one of the few bands that can fill up this much space and be consistently brilliant throughout, with not a single dud or less than great song to be found. If anything it's not enough, as there are plenty of lesser known songs from this period that are equally as amazing as these but had to be left out.”
“This is the best introduction to The Beatles. It contains all the early hits and for many of us is the soundtrack to our lives. Fond memories aside, the music is faultless from start to finish and cements their status as the greatest band in pop and rock history.” “Not needed if you have the studio albums but this is the perfect starting place for newcomers.”
“The Beatles are absolutely irresistible in this format, their early hits and important album tracks rushing by in infectious glee, rewriting the rules of rock with each single, each song building upon the strengths of its predecessor and opening up new territory.”
“I can't imagine a better compilation of the first years of Beatle-mania. There is a reason that they still sell records today and tribute bands still play their music. No matter how much hype or mythology there is about them, one fact remains, they were a really fine band.”
“The Beatles were and will always be the greatest band ever. It is not possible to put all of their best songs on one package because all their songs are fantastic and worth listening to. This double LP captures only a tiny fraction of the Beatles magic.”
“As with all Beatles compilations, you are better off buying one (or all) of their albums, but if you want to make a young child appreciate all that pop music can be, this would make a wonderful present.”
