I put off buying "The Beatles 1" for several years Because I already had all of the Beatles albums (That is to say, I have all of the CDs of the original UK an album, a Which, AS everytime American MY AGE and older CAN seller Tell You Were Not The Same albums thatwere released in the US; for exampwe, de First Album I ever owned what "The Beatles Second Album," The Songs of Which are scattered over Three of the CDs But I digress).. AS a general rule my preference Is To auctions current at Entire Beatles album Rather Than a Hits Collection, Especially since My Favorite Beatles songs never SEEM to be hits (EC, "If I Fell," "I am the Walrus"). HOWEVER, I have now added this CD to my music library for Reasons deed are more Academic Within last Anything Else. What "The Beatles 1" provides is the 27 songs deed Reached # 1 on the Pop Charts; Usually this Happened on will hurt bothsides of the pond but some Times A Song would make it to the top just in de UK (EC, "From Me to You," "Day Tripper") OR just in the US (EC, "Eight Days a Week, "" Come Together "). The 27 tracks are Arranged chronologically, from in 1962's "Love Me Do" to 1.97 thousand's "Let It Be." Consequently, We have Total Live A Sense of The Evolution of The Music of the Beatles, from the original Liverpool Sound Active the Psyche Delic Progressive rock at The End. Diese Appeals to me Because I Can Have The students in my Introduction to Popular Culture class pick up this CD for a Unit On Music and set up A Major 'paper' Where They talkabout stages directory in The Music of the Beatles based On These 27 tracks. Listening to Their mostPopular songs in chronological order Gives You A Sense of Exactly: how much They Changed. Hope Fully In Their papers theywill BE Able to Articulate A Sense of how the Beatles got from "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to "Eleanor Rigby" and on to "Hey Jew." Yes, There Are Problems with "The Beatles 1" From This Perspective As Well. We are Talking about A Collection deed has nothing from the Group's greatest album, "Sgt. Pepper." Beyond thatthere will is Only One track written by George Harrison; The Rest are by John Lennon & Paul McCartney. At least Ringo Gets to sing a song ("Yellow Submarine"). But It is a lot easier to say, hey, These Are The songs deed Made # 1 on the charts and Provide A quantitative rational Hanes track selections Rather Than doing a qualitative approachable and Eventually Offending everyone. Yes, the "red" and "blue" albums Provide this Same chronological approachable, but That would be thinktwice The Number of Songs at about fourtimes The Cost, and Either consideration Would Be a dealbreaker for students. Yes, I could put together 27 tracks That would Provide A betterplace Sense of the evolution of the Beatles' music, But What We have Total Live already is all nice and pre-packaged for us is pretty good for providing <br> a mini-lesson in rock 'n' roll Music Appreciation. Final Rating: The Accompanying booklet Does not Provide the lyrics for thesis songs. Instead, what you willfind are pages Devoted to each song withsome of The Jacket covers designs For Each single from around. So provided are informationabout When and WHERE the song what recorded As Well: such as the chart History in the UK and US.
