| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr. | | Includes a 30-page color booklet documenting artwork for all the number one singles recorded by The Beatles. | | Engineers include: Norman Smith, Geoff Emerick, Barry Sheffield. | | Recorded at Apple, Olympic Sound, Trident and Abbey Road Studios, London, England; Pathe Marconi, Paris, France, between 1962 & 1970. Includes liner notes by George Martin. | | Digitally remastered by Peter Mew (2000, Abbey Road Studios, London, England). | | Personnel: John Lennon, George Harrison (vocals, guitar); Paul McCartney (vocals); Ringo Starr (drums). | | Recording information: EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, England (09/11/1962-??/??/1969); Olympic Sound Studios, London, England (09/11/1962-??/??/1969); Path? Marconi, Paris FR (09/11/1962-??/??/1969). | | Introduction by: George Martin. | | Photographer: Richard Avedon. | | For the six years the Beatles were recording for Capitol Records, the Fab Four ascended to top of the American and British charts an astonishing 27 times. This single-disc compilation brings those hits together in one place to span every phase of the foursome's highly influential career. Early Merseybeat-flavored sides like "Love Me Do" (the band's first Stateside hit), "She Loves You," and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" struck a chord early on with hordes of screaming teens. Unfortunately, this found the band temporarily dismissed as mere teen idols despite these numbers coming as a result of the vaunted Lennon/McCartney songwriting partnership. | | The timeless "Yesterday" struck a worldwide chord (and subsequently became one of the most played songs of all time) and Liverpool's favorite sons soon found themselves shifting gears. They were soon dabbling with flower power ("All You Need is Love"), character-driven storytelling ("Eleanor Rigby"), and allowing glimpses behind the Beatles curtain ("Hey Jude," "The Ballad of John & Yoko"). By the time "The Long and Winding Road" became the Beatles' chart-topping swan song, popular music's landscape had been permanently altered. |
Producer: George Martin; Phil Spector; George Mann and Julius Margolin |
| | Artist Overview | | No other band has had quite the same impact as the four lads from Liverpool. Over the course of eight years and more than a dozen albums, the Beatles changed popular music and culture forever, spearheading the 1960s British Invasion and shaping rock & roll along the way. Along with their amazing musical output and unprecedented worldwide celebrity, John, Paul, George, and Ringo were responsible for many pop music revolutions, major and minor--writing their own material, pushing the limits of the studio, making films of their music, printing song lyrics on albums--that today are taken for granted. Although the Beatles disbanded in 1970, their artistic legacy is permanently ingrained in the entire world's musical vocabulary. |
