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:  - Best value for the least amount of moneyOK, the goal of this review is to help you determine whether this is the right purchase for you. Everyone has different taste and the Beatles have some really widely varying styles of songs, so I'm not going to make any judgments on these songs. I'll let you do that. The Beatles have a ton of great songs and even having 27 on one CD is going to leave out someone's favorite and include songs that some can't stand. If you can live without the songs that aren't on this CD (such as anything ...

This compilation is very enjoyable since each song is better than the one before it. Yes there are some great classic Beatles songs missing but for a one disk overview this it is pretty darn good. I think I own almost every song that the Beatles recorded and do to the remastering I tend to gravitate toward this collection and "Love". Rating: - It's The Beatles...If your a fan of the Beatles like I am, then this collection of 27 songs is for you. If your in your teens, 20's to 30's, heard about them but havent listened to them, check out this CD. I think you'll hear an array of music no other group will ever match. Rating:  - Super BuyThis is a great collection of songs from the Beatles, it does not have all of them, but has a great variety. It is a collection of songs from the beginning to the end of their run. The price is right also. For those fans of the Beatles this is a cant miss. Rating: - Very PleasedThis is a great CD with all the beginning Beatles tunes you could want. Brings back tons of memories of those times - highly recommended! |
