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

- Awesome Collection of Great Songs
What a great compilation! One of the best I've heard. "Yesterday," "Hey Jude" and "Eleanor Rigby" are my definite favs, but the others sound great as well.
On a side note, I think this compilation would have benefited from a few different song choices (the first several can be a bit of a chore to sit through when you know what's coming up.)
Two thumbs up from me!
Rating: - Horrible Remastering Job
Can these mastering engineers do anything right? There is almost no track on this CD that has been decently remastered. I guess they want to "modernize" the sound of these priceless recordings so every track is overly compressed, heavily EQ'ed, maxed in volume to virtual distortion, and so brittle and harsh sounding that the CD is barely listenable. Listen to the first guitar crashes in "Get Back," and see if you don't agree that it sounds distorted. If you have the "Let It Be" CD for comparison ... Read More

- I NEVER EVEN RECEIVED IT!
I cant review this product because I never received it! I will review the expierence of buying from Medimops. It was terrible! I ordered this item on May 7 and have emailed them twice asking whats taking so long. I recieved one response saying they found another one and would send it out. Im still waiting! DO NOT BUY FROM MEDIMOPS! Otherwise im sure the product is good. Its The Beatles, how could it not be good?

- Use this as an entry point to The Beatles
In 2000, The Beatles released '1,' a single-disc, 27-track compilation spanning The Beatles' entire career, 1962 to 1970. Released on Apple in 2000, the record was digitally remastered, and before I begin my review, the sound quality on this disc is exceptional. It really is. Now, read on for my review for '1.'
While each of these 27 songs are five stars easily, I don't really recommend this disc for anybody except for the new, casual or hardcore Beatles fan. Why, you may ask?
