Free Music Notes for The Beatles 1
Free Music Review: A great collection of number one hits
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a good way to start with the Beatles, Imagine, you have 27 number one hits on a single cd ! Who could ask for more ?
Of course, The Beatles have many great songs that were not number ones, but if you want only the number one, your search is over, buy this one !
Free Music Review: Loving every minute of it!
Hit: 4 Stars
At 21 I have been a Beatles fan longer than some people my age. I have loved these guys since I was 5 or 6 years old. While I may not know as much about this band as some of you older fans, I do know REALLY GOOD music when I hear it! I don't care what the original version of whichever song was like or what the retakes of it today may sound like...it's still the same in essence and as long as the songs' messages are conveyed that is what's important. This is a way of ensuring The Beatles live on for future generations who deserve the chance to get to know this band and learn about them. Check this album out! First time fans are guaranteed to like at least some of the songs! Also, the cd booklet is really cool! You can brush up on your knowledge of the singles! There's a story behind each one...how great is that? Another noteworthy thing is that I rarely buy collections of songs like this, that have been re-released and that are from different albums. I strongly prefer to stick with the album/s that the songs came off of originally. Of over 100 cd's in my music collection I only have 3 or 4 that are collections such as this. If it has something to offer me that I haven't seen before or that I really like (and most of this type don't) I will buy it. The Beatles 1 is one such example of such greatness.Free Music Review: Overall a good collection of hits
Hit: 4 Stars
I didn't buy this for years because I already had the songs on other CD's, vinyl singles and LP's. I gave in and bought it recently for several reasons. First, I wanted to hear the songs remastered. Second,
I wanted a hits collection without buying the red and blue collections which would overduplicate my existing collection and , lastly, I wanted the booklet with the pictures of various singles sleeves.
Overall, I find it an enjoyable collection.
The Beatles were, first and foremost a tightly-knit performing unit capable of grinding out rock 'n' roll on par, if not better than, any group extant in the sixties. Listen to any early live recordings from
Germany or Liverpool, or any BBC sessions. This collection will not bear witness to that. I bring this up because someone, perhaps George Martin although I'm not sure, seems to have toned done the mixes somewhat and some of the rockers tend to lose the original edge, especially with on drum tracks. The more pop-oriented selections and orchestral selections do shine, benefitting from the remastering immensely.
Of course, their hits are not always their best works, however often enough, they are as good as any album cut even if they are more pop oriented. And they are hits. Enough said.
Free Music Review: Nothing to complain about in my opinion
Hit: 5 Stars
I normally write long, progressive reviews, but considering who I'm reviewing, I'll make this short and sweet.
Different people will say different things about "1". Some will say it needs the more cult classics of songs such as "Strawberry Fields Forever", or "I Am The Walrus", but "1" reflects the more pop side of the Beatles. It shows how they dominated the American and English charts in their time. In addition, just the fact that they can put 27 songs on one disc makes me happy.
Opinions aside, this is the greatest rock and roll ever. What more can there be said? The Beatles = Timeless music. 1 = Five-star album for me. Thanks for the time, and peace.
