The Beatles 1

6 Ratings: 4.7

Classic Rock and Rock album by The Beatles

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 … see full wiki

All your Beatles favorites

This album has all of the basic Beatles hits. While it's not as comprehensive as the Red and Blue albums, it's pretty much most of them. The only notable exceptions are that it's missing Strawberry Fields and Back in the USSR.

Not just 1 in name

My son a music fanatic was 8 when he first heard this cd. Now we hear part of it at least once a day.There is a simple reason why a now 9 year old would rather listen to this cd than any other. It is that in the field of Rock there have been many great music makers. None can compare with the Beatles.If you judge by the quality of songs and music, no rock cd released in the last 10 years is more worthy of purchase. Never equaled, never will be.

It does what it sets out to do. . .

. . .and that is to present, in one album, all the Beatles' #1 hits. Some of these hits are better than others; some of my favorites were never (apparently) #1 hits!It's interesting: only one of the songs presented is a George Harrison original, (the rest being Lennon/McCartney) demonstrating that Harrison's talent was unappreciated in his day, and that he was definitely overshadowed by his band-mates.I also find it interesting that the largest bulk of #1 hits comes from the Beatles' early years, … more
