The Beatles- PAST MASTERS (Original CD Edition) - 600 grn
PAST MASTERS is a two-disc compilation album set by the English rock band The Beatles. It was originally released as two separate volumes on 7th March 1988, as part of the first issue of the band's catalogue on compact disc. The set compiles every song released commercially by the band that was not available on The Beatles' twelve original UK albums or the US Magical Mystery Tour LP. The majority of the PAST MASTERS set consists of A- and B-sides from the band's singles, including single versions of songs that appeared in a different form on the band's albums. Also included are the full contents of the UK-only Long Tall Sally EP, two German-language tracks, a song recorded for the American market, and a track released on a charity compilation album. Although PAST MASTERS is not a studio album and is instead a compilation, it is considered to be The Beatles' 14th and final major release. This occurred when The Beatles' core catalog was standardized in 1987.
COMPILATION INCLUDES:
*The Beatles- PAST MASTERS: VOLUME ONE- CD-1988- EMI Records Ltd.- 077779004324
PAST MASTERS: VOLUME ONE album contains recordings originally released between 1962 and 1965. Although The Beatles were probably the band that most transformed rock from a singles medium to an album-oriented form, they also released many singles and EP tracks that never made it onto albums. When the Capitol label later released the U.K. albums on CD, it posed a problem: What to do with the non-LP singles? PAST MASTERS: VOLUME ONE compiles 18 of those singles, including some of their best-known tracks. Essential stuff.
Issued In A Regular Jewel Case With Black Tray Includes 12-Page Booklet. Made In Holland.
*The Beatles- PAST MASTERS: VOLUME TWO- CD-1988- EMI Records Ltd.- 077779004423
PAST MASTERS: VOLUME TWO album contains recordings originally released between 1965 and 1970 - all the later, beardier singles and more. When you get right down to it, The Beatles are the greatest band in the history of pop music, the most influential, the best writers, and whatever other superlatives you can think of. Given their phenomenal output, and their huge chart success, it's no surprise that this second volume proves every bit as rich as the first. John, Paul, George, and Ringo had that rare chemistry that moved musical mountains, with more great songs than many people have had hot dinners, and they're still affecting the course of popular music.

When Capitol decided to release the original British editions of The Beatles' albums instead of the bastardized American versions, they were left with a bit of a quandary. Since The Beatles had an enormous number of non-LP singles, some of their greatest hits would not be included on disc if Capitol simply served up straight reissues. They had two options: they could add the singles as bonus tracks to the appropriate CDs, or they could release a compilation of all the non-LP tracks. It should come as no surprise that they chose the latter. PAST MASTERS captures the exuberance of Beatlemania while confirming the band's talents as popcraftsmen and proving that they could rock really, really hard. Non-LPs tracks may not be as thematically consistent, but they hit greater highs with a greater frequency. Apart from a few cuts that are merely rarities, this is a near-perfect compilation that captures the energy and spirit of The Beatles' entire career. Overall, the compilation feels a little disjointed, mainly because it covers so much ground so quickly, but that takes nothing away from the quality of the music, since many of these songs rank among the best, most inventive recordings of the pop/rock era.
