The Beatles 1

Yeah , nice sequencing. Great songs. But really , can ANY music collection be complete without every album from the Beatles ? Maybe if you weren't around for all the fervor , but I can't even listen to the "red and blue" comps from vinyl days of yore. There you go.

I totally enjoyed this CD as it provided all of the initial songs that brought the Beatles to fame and carried us through our teenage years but then continued with the Beatles' greatest hits that came later in their careers. Younger music fans will be introduced to songs which they may not know but which their parents were immersed in in their youth and occasionally "hum" on a sunny day.

I'm not sure what all the buzz about the word 'remastered' is ... other then sounds good to move product. This is the CD that changed my mind entirely about the word 'remastered.' It certainly lost something on many of the tracks. At times it is 'brittle ... harsh ... and even 'flat sounding' in the sense of the 'attacks' are almost completely washed out. There's no comparison between these 'remasters' and the "Love" CD that George and Giles Martin did. (George Martin also oversaw the remastering of the Yellow Submarine CD that came out a few years ago.) Personally, this CD was a big disappointment. Some like it - but I'd recommend you listen for yourself first. (They could have done much better - and should have.)

This CD proves that great music survises the years. These Beatles hits still sound great and bring back good memories.

What can I say, it's the Beatles
