Album Notes
The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr.Includes a 30-page color booklet documenting artwork for all the number one singles recorded by The Beatles. Engineers include: Norman Smith, Geoff Emerick, Barry Sheffield.Recorded at Apple, Olympic Sound, Trident and Abbey Road Studios, London, England; Pathe Marconi, Paris, France, between 1962 & 1970. Includes liner notes by George Martin.Digitally remastered by Peter Mew (2000, Abbey Road Studios, London, England).For the six years the Beatles were recording for Capitol Records, the Fab Four ascended to top of the American and British charts an astonishing 27 times. This single-disc compilation brings those hits together in one place to span every phase of the foursome's highly influential career. Early Merseybeat-flavored sides like "Love Me Do" (the band's first Stateside hit), "She Loves You," and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" struck a chord early on with hordes of screaming teens. Unfortunately, this found the band temporarily dismissed as mere teen idols despite these numbers coming as a result of the vaunted Lennon/McCartney songwriting partnership. The timeless "Yesterday" struck a worldwide chord (and subsequently became one of the most played songs of all time) and Liverpool's favorite sons soon found themselves shifting gears. They were soon dabbling with flower power ("All You Need is Love"), character-driven storytelling ("Eleanor Rigby"), and allowing glimpses behind the Beatles curtain ("Hey Jude," "The Ballad of John & Yoko"). By the time "The Long and Winding Road" became the Beatles' chart-topping swan song, popular music's landscape had been permanently altered.

4 stars out of 5 - ...Its salutary to hear how people once made music that looked to the future...

  Amazing Band
Review created: 25/02/07

In my opinion the greatest band of all time but is this their greatest compilation? Yes it is for a single CD Best Of though the Red (1962-66) and Blue (1967-70) double LPs steal its thunder overall. 1 contains 27 songs, all of which made it to the top spot in either the UK or US.

For the Fab Four’s early period, 1 pretty much includes their best songs though, from Revolver onwards, The Beatles' singles represent a somewhat sanitised version of their best output. By all means buy 1 as an introduction though there’s no real substitute for their last four major LPs – Revolver, Sgt Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road (Let It Be and other latter Beatles ' LPs are less essential).

Particular highlights of 1 for me include the early ebullience of I Want to Hold Your Hand, A Hard Day’s Night with its classic opening chord and closing arpeggios and the beautiful melancholy of Eleanor Rigby and Penny Lane. These are just personal choices as nearly every track on this LP is a classic and, on another day, I may have picked out four others.

1 is a very good first Beatles purchase though like many singles compilations, barely tells half the band’s story. Buy it but don’t stop there in exploring the music of the most influential and significant band of all time. Probably the best band ever as well…
