Binding: Audio CDBrand: Beatles EAN: 0724352932528 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 724352932528 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 2000 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: November 14, 2000 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: BEATLES Title: BEATLES 1 Street Release Date: 11/14/2000 Genre: ROCK/POP Amazon.com essential recording: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - In My Ears And In My EyesThis is a wonderful collection of twenty-seven of The Beatles most popular songs all of which reached number one in both the UK and the USA. Spanning the years 1962 (LOVE ME DO) to 1970 THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD this is a great album to introduce younger music lovers to THE BEATLES music as well as to ignite the memories of baby boomers. A short booklet with pictures of original record covers as well as the date each song was recorded and the dates that song was number one in the US and UK is included. ... Read More Rating: - Number one for a reasonWhat else can you say about the greatest pop band in history to date? This album showcases all the bands "number 1 hits". All the tracks are remastered, and there are enough of them on the disc to keep the new or old Beatles fan singing for quite some time. Yes, all these songs are available on some other album, but this disc reveals to you in chronological order how the Beatles tunes could change and the listeners changed with them. From the poppy love songs of the beginning, to the trippy songs in the ... Read More Rating:  - Hitting Most Of The Obvious NotesPurists have and will continue to argue this particular release into the ground with a host of complaints that range from "The audio mix is bad!" to "Lady Madonna was never number one on the charts!" But while it may come as deep shock to them, not every one approaches The Beatles as if they were holy relics, not everyone considers them "essential," and not every one feels it necessary to purchase every album the band made. Quite obviously I tend to fall into this category. I like quite a few ... Read More Rating: - A REASON TO BUY THIS ITEMIt's hard to find a reason to buy this CD for a long time Beatles fan like me, who owns all their entire catalog. I admit that I would never buy such a compilation, but finally I did because I've found a reason: the remastered sound. The songs sounds better than ever and certainly the sound of this CD has no comparison with the released official albums. If Apple or EMI someday decide to update the sound of all Beatles CD's the way they did with this one, I would no doubt to replace mi collection. Rating: - You can't beat this Beatles CD!It's pretty hard to beat the Beatles if you're into the oldies. The best part of this title is it's so complete and it brings back so many memories. |
