Tired of all the Beatles listening to all the well known music the group made?
This double CD set takes you back, way back to the days when The Beatles were 'starting out'. For example there are recordings of the group's beginnings when John formed The Quarrymen (formerly called Black Jacks) back in 1957, this group eventually becoming what we now know as The Beatles. There are many many songs and recordings that you will never hear on commercial radio these days, many examples of how some of their big hits ORIGINALLY sounded (before the songs were massaged and sterilised/mastered over the years) and of course plenty of fun bloopers PLUS little snippets of spoken word from various members of the group and others. A lot of fun and many times while listening it was easy to imagine that the boys were right in front of you on the stage (or in the studio), just as it would have been all those years ago.
A real treat for The Beatles fan ...
THE BEATLES - Anthology 1
Apple Records
Cat# 7243 8 34445 2 6 8344452
1995
Australian release
Remastered
Double CD case, front cover, inner multipage booklet and rear inlay are all in good condition. If I was to make any comment about the case, instead of Bone White it now has a slight 'Marrow Yellow' colour in places which I believe is due to daylight fading. Quite a 'stiff fitting" case but not damaged in any way.
Both CD media are in very good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of short, light marks or scratches on either media - these are EXTREMELY light. I then played the ENTIRE CD set, every single track on each CD, and there are absolutely no playback issues with any track at all
