The Beatles - 1 (CD 2000)

What more do you need it contains all the hits of this legendery band, no other band influenced so many other groups then the fab 4 !

Excellent !

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…

Music that will never age and a group that became a legend.The legend goes on,passed down to next generations.This C D has some of thier greatest songs on it and i was really pleased that it was available for me and the family to enjoy.Exellent.

I have always liked the beatles. I saw this on ebay and thought i would buy it.
I was delighted when it came, it was an original cd not a copy and the sounds were fab. I was really pleased with it. The seller was excellent good service and fast delivery

I received my order very quickly and safely and was in perfect condition. I will certainly use the services of this seller again. Many thanks.

This is exactly the sort of Beatles album I wanted! Every song on the album is a favourite of mine - I know all the words and sing to my heart's content - my poor hubby's ears!!!

I@ve been looking to buy this for a while, paid very little for it compared to high street shops, delivery was very quick, I am very pleased, I love The Beatles as does my girlfriend we listen to it all the time, would definetly buy something like this again

My daughter is studying the 60s this year in year 5. She also sings in the choir. I thought his would be a great way to introduce her to this era...
She loves it THANKS EBAY

I decided to buy the CD becasue it is my partners birthday this month and he really likes the beatles. It is a fantastic album and we have been playing it in the car. The CD is in mint condition and it was delivered really fast. My partner is really chuffed with it.

this cd is exellent in everyway the tracks selected are second to none the music is exellent and the presentation is ex

Great Cd with all the classics and favourites on - ideal for a sing-along, mine is residing permanently in the car! Music that everyone enjoys - timeless!

I REALLY LOVE THE BEATLES EARLY STUFF, THEREFORE THOUGHT THIS ALBUM WOULD FIT THE BILL. IT ARRIVED REALLY QUICKLY AND WAS A REAL BARGAIN! I AM VERY HAPPY WITH BOTH THE SERVICE I RECEIVED AND THE ALBUM ITSELF.

This numbers one's album gives you a taste of their success. It brings back memories of the fab four and does bring a smile to your face. A great album to listen to. Would recommend whether your an oldie or new to the Beatles.

it's the best beatles cd ever recorded. this can only be the best way to bye any thing, well done e-bay. who ever thought of makeing shopping as easy as this, possable they must be very clever. i will do a lot more shopping this way from know on. bye for now.

I bought it as a present for my mum. Not listened to it but other people have told me that the re-mixing n stuff on it has killed the original songs!!!

All the Beatles No.1s from Love Me Do to The Long & Winding Road. You can't grumble about the quality of the songs or value for money - a single CD (and 79+ mins) with more tracks than the double Red album (1962-66).I just wonder what the motivation is behind this release. Maybe it's simply to provide a single disc career overview of the greatest pop band in history to those who don't want to invest in 2 double CDs. There will no doubt be those that will complain that no Beatles hits package is complete without Strawberry Fields Forever. But this is a compilation of all of the Beatles' US and UK No.1 hits and unfortunately that song "only" reached No.2 in the UK. The Billboard Hot 100 in the US is compiled from a combination of sales and airplay, and though Penny Lane (the double A flip-side) reached No.1, Strawberry Fields only got enough radio play to reach No.8. I suppose they could have used a different criterion to select their greatest hits, but with so many hits to choose from they couldn't help but exclude some favourites (Please Please Me, Twist & Shout, In My Life, and there is not a single song from from Sgt. Peppers). Still, this is the first time that such classics as She Loves You, Yesterday, Help!, Hey Jude, Get Back and Let It Be have all appeared on the same album. So if you don't own a Beatles album, this is the place to start, and it makes a great gift for anyone who hasn't updated their scratched vinyl records.

Excellent cd,everything thats good about music from that era,takes me back to my child hood,you just automatically know the words and sing along without even realising,of all the cds ive got,never had a beatles one,now its the only one i play.

A great collection of course - I have other Beatles music but I like this one because it is useful to have so much of their prime material gathered together on one disc, and easily portable for the car etc. The Beatles did so much to change the face of popular music - this is a real trip down 'Memory Lane' and definitely one to recommend to others.

excellent condition and fast posting. very good indeed. the cd is in an impeccable state, and it was delivered well packaged and quickly

I am very pleased with the speed of the transaction that took place when I bought this cd and it arrived well on time for my friend's birthday and she loves the Beatles.

This CD is excellent. Exactly what I was looking for, it features all best tracks of The Beatles including the ones I remember from my childhood.
