Great album. Has many early previously unreleased material including the Ed Sullivan show. Great to listen when you're in a funky Beatles mood to listen to something other than the standards.

Well, before I go into an description of Anthology 1, I must say: When I want to consider buying something, I read the "1 Star" reviews first. I want to see what people dislike about the product. I read the 1 star reviews for Anthology 1 & 2, and I found a very disturbing one about 2. It said that the Beatles were terrible, and thought they got too much credit. Well, the first thing I thought was: was the anthology the only thing you listened too? Because you can't make a good judgement if you have not listened to their actual records! Geez, how people jump right into an idea, and never come out. The next 1 star review I read was about #1, and it complained about the poor quality of some of the songs, perticually the first couple on the 1st disk. I thought then: Well, of course it's bad quality because they made the early songs under bad recording devices! Once again the ingnorance of some people. I think ofr any Beatles fan the anthology would be a good addition to your collection. It has a lot of early stuff, not seen before. Also on the second disk includes different takes of the songs through Beatles For Sale, and live recordings. You will also find interesting little speeches by the band, and others.

First of all Availability, value for money. I was helped by the wide availability of titles and on the Amazon
The Beatles Anthology 1 is a staple of diehard Beatles fans. It contains clip after clip of sound bites and off-takes of popular tunes. If you're looking for a greatest hits collection, this is not it. If you want to learn more about the Fab Four's journey to find themselves and their music, this is the album.
First of all, this set is great. No other band could do what The Beatles did (and most likely none ever will). My only quibble is with the amount of needless editing. Several tracks take a hard hit. 'Can't Buy Me Love' Take 2 - here with a guitar solo from take 1 crammed in for no good reason! Not only that but the booklet lists this as stereo and it is not. The full Take 2 has been on bootleg since the late '80's in stereo. Also edited is the 1963 take of 'One After 909'; understandable since two takes were used to create a master. But a much better edit was made for the aborted 'Sessions' album in 1984, with a better quality guitar solo. The track 'Shout!' from the BBC special Around The Beatles is included in true stereo, yet entire chunks of the song are missing, editing it down from over 2 minutes to under one and a half!
As I said the booklet lists many of the songs as being in stereo, yet if you really listen to them (like through headphones) you'll hear that they are at best 'mock stereo', at worst having only one instrument shuffled from one channel to the other. Listen to how the Beatles original 4-Track recordings were mixed compared to these outtakes from the same sessions. You'd think they'd have tried to mix them they way they did the 1960's originals for a more authentic sound.
All in all, this is a CD to get to be sure. But it won't kill bootleg recordings unless they quit editing things for no good reason.

I got all 3 Beatles Anthology CDs for a family member for the holidays and she loved them! They're great collections that include rare recordings as well as well-known Beatles favorites. The whole family got a kick out of listening to the albums in the car. The booklets contain many wonderful images as well as other great info about the band.
