Editorial Reviews

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 longtime Fabs 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

Un Essentiel amazon.fr

One ! Ce n'est plus seulement une chanson de U2. C'est la compilation ultime de tous les numéros 1 des Beatles. De 1963 à 1970, les meilleures ventes des singles des Fab Four dessinent quelque chose comme une histoire parfaite de la pop music des sixties, de la naïveté géniale de "Love Me Do" aux orchestrations grandioses de "The Long And Winding Road", en passant par le psychédélisme de "Paperback Writer". On laissera les exégètes chipoter sur les libertés prises avec les règles. Pourquoi avoir omis "Strawberry Fields Forever", l'autre face A du single qu'il formait avec "Penny Lane" ? Pourquoi "Something" (sublime ballade par ailleurs) figure-t-elle ici alors qu'elle n'a jamais été numéro 1 des ventes ? Est-ce parce que son auteur, George Harrison, a exigé d'avoir un morceau sur cette fructueuse compilation programmée pour le dernier Noël du millénaire ? Peu importe. Ce que l'on entend ici c'est le juke-box idéal, sans un temps mort, sans une redite. Tous les numéros 1 du premier de tous les groupes ! --Hubert Deshouse

"All The Hits Maybe But..." (2008-01-04)

Put togheter the 27 or so number one hits the Beatles scored during their career on an album and add to that a bestselling status to it and you`ve got this,"The Beatles 1" greatest hits album.Lets just say that the album gives what it claims,the number one charted songs of the band and all the songs are good there`s no denying that.Its a compilation,yes in some ways but this particular one has done so well on the charts and its still selling strong up to this point,i guess what some may call "a bunch of has-been old hippies" are still popular,right?Otherwise how do you explain the strong sales of 1?No need to explain much,the Beatles are legends and helped shape the sixties and they revolutionnized music forever,i can`t even imagine what music would have been whithout them.I love The Beatles`s music and i am a fan of theirs but to me its just another compilation of the band,except a good selling one no less,no more.This tought,is probably amongst their best compilations but it only cover the hits and not all the great songs.Anyone who knows music will tell you the same thing,a song doesn`t have to be a hit to be great,in fact a song that isn`t a hit can be better than one that is.Still pretty much everything they did was great and turned great and became the best selling thing or it became something big,they were that much special.It might be easy to go straight for the hits,but by doing that you might just miss something really great."1" still offers great songs of all their carreer even if it is mostly from the early years of the band when they had hits such as "Love Me Do" and "A Hard Day`s Night".Besides that there really ain`t much more to say as this is pretty much it.Its good at what it is and brings you all it says it does,the songs are good and so is writting.If you want some great music,this is some,if you want more there are a whole bunch of Beatles albums that are great as well.Its a compilation so to me or any fans it doesn`t do much but putting togheter the most succesfull songs of the band,but for a newbie this would be alright and its a good introduction and a good value as well.

The Best! Ya, ya, ya, ya! (2005-02-09)

A MUST for every music collection!

Beatles 1 (2004-07-19)

Pretty good if you listen to tracks 1 - 14 and just start over. Songs like Come Together and the Ballad of John and Yoko shouldn't even be on a best of the Beatles album.

Incredible Display of Music (2004-07-17)

Before I got this album. I had never heard a real Beatles song. I had heard a modern hard-rock-style cover of A Hard Day's Night (which, while not comparing to the origional, was still awesome), and in my vocal class at school, I sang A Hard Day's Night (which, by the way, made me something of a singing sensation at school; people everywhere were asking me to sing for them).

When I first got this album, I liked about sixteen songs. But as I listened to it more and more, the more it grew on me, until I liked every single song on the CD.

This CD made me a total Beatles fan. Before I really knew the Beatles' music, I listened to country music on KNCI (which I still do admittedly). Now, I listen to the Eagle, Sacramento's classic rock. In my vocal class, instead of just singing A Hard Day's Night (which I still sing, of course), I also sing Eight Days A Week, Something-the best song of all time-, I Want to Hold Your Hand, All You Need Is Love, and She Loves You.

The Beatles remain the greatest band of all time, and this CD is a true legacy to them.

The BEST single CD collection (2004-07-14)

This is the best single CD Beatles collection available. It provides an excellent, high-level overview of their career and music. It contains 26 songs that hit number 1 either in the US or UK. The one exception being George Harrison's "Something", which peaked at number 3, though the liner notes give it credit for hitting number 1 because it was the B-side of a number 1 single ("Come Together"). But I can forgive that fudging, since I'm sure it was done to ensure that a Harrison song was included on the collection. All-in-all, a classic collection and a great introduction to the Beatles for new fans. I just wish they would release a Beatles 2 CD similar to the Elvis 2nd to None CD. They certainly have plenty of material to pick from!

Btw, an interesting bit of trivia: The British Beatles hold the record for the most number 1 singles in the US, followed by the American Elvis. While Elvis holds the record for most number 1 singles in Britian followed by the Beatles.
