Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One released this single disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though obviously superfluous to long-time 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 and beyond. But more than merely a trophy case of commercial success (and it won't be hard to find people to argue that these singles aren't even the band's best work), 1 is also a quick sketch of a remarkable seven-year 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. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 27 Great SongsSo here it is - the best selling songs from the best selling band ever. The idea behind this compilation is that all the songs were Number One singles either in the UK or US. Sounds fairly simple, but in fact browsing the negative reviews on here shows many people complaining about this CD. Main criticisms are either that a Beatles greatest hits isn't necessary because people ought to buy the individual albums, or moans about certain tracks being omitted (Strawberry Fields Forever has been mentioned a lot - yes it might very well be the Beatles' best single but it didn't reach No. 1). While it is true that the Beatles are a band best bought album-by-album, this is a great purchase for newbies or people with a casual interest in ...

Rating: - fantastic but songs still missing like elvis 1 collection!!the beatles are legends but still theres lots of songs missing strawberry fields forver here comes the sun while my guitar gently weeps revolution and many more like the elvis 1 collection still songs missing but still a good hits collection from the fab four they will always be remembered like alot of other legends dusty springfield,elvis presley,freddie mercury/queen,jimi hendrix,minnie riperton,karen carpenter/the carpenters etc buy this but also get the red and blue box sets there cool!! Rating:  - Terrible! The Beatles sellout to ElvisTerrible! The Beatles the greatest Pop group of all time who released the innovative 'Sgt. Pepper's' copy Elvis with the same concept of a hits album containing all their Number One's? which may of worked if all their UK singles reached the top spot... But where is 'Strawberry Fields' and 'Please Please Me' instead we get 'The Long And Winding Rd' and 'Eight Days A week', if you had a choice The Long Winding Rd or Strawberry Fields what would you choose? I thought so Strawberry Fields, enough reason why this Cd does not work they should have done two seperate Hits Cd's one for the USA and one for the UK.. (like the vinyl of 1982) Penny Lane without Strawberry Fields is like Bread without Butter... Also it is the worse sounding Beatles Cd as ... Read More: Rating: - A CLASSIC BAND Apparently, there was a gap in the Beatles' catalog, after all -- all the big hits weren't on one tidy, single-disc compilation. It's not the kind of gap you'd necessarily notice -- it's kind of like realizing you don't have a pair of navy blue dress socks -- but it was a gap all the same, so the group released The Beatles 1 late in 2000, coinciding with the publication of their official autobiography, the puzzlingly titled Anthology. The idea behind this compilation is to have all the number one singles the Beatles had, either in the U.K. or U.S., on one disc, and that's pretty much what this generous 27-track collection is. It's easy, nay, necessary, to quibble with a couple of the judgment calls -- look, "Please Please Me" should be here ... Read More: |
