Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered two CD digipak reissue of this classic Beatles compilation spanning the years 1962-1966. Originally released in 1973, the 'Red' collection was released in conjunction with the 'Blue' compilation, which focused on the band's later years, 1967-1970. Both releases were hugely successful and remain two of the best selling compilations of all time. 26 tracks.

Excellent Collection 1962-1966 Yet No Songs From George Harrison?

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

This collection of The Beatles standout tracks 1962-1966 is excellent in it\'s own right, yet there's a problem with the songs selected back in 1973 when the original album was released. No songs in this collection from George Harrison? The companion two album set "The Beatles 1967-1970," is outstanding, and contains four (4) songs from George Harrison..

Here's the track list for each 2 cd set.

As stated above, "The Beatles 1962-1966" is excellent in it\'s own right based on the superb, wonderful, standout Lennon/McCartney songs yet the later set, which includes four George Harrison songs, is superlative. I honestly don\'t think a better track list could have been created for the 1967-1970 set with the limited space of two albums/cd's.

Most of us these days listen to the music on cd (though vinyl has made a huge comeback) and, having worked in the recording industry I'm delighted that the remastering of all The Beatles albums from 2009 obviously carries over to this and all additional compilation albums featuring the greatest rock and roll band of all time: The Beatles. The 2009 remastering of the entire Beatles catalogue was done over a period of four years at Abbey Road Studios and combined analogue and digital equipment so as not to compromise the integrity of the original analogue recordings. Giles Martin's all digital remastering of "Sgt. Pepper," "The White Album" and "Abbey Road" for their respective 50th anniversary releases doesn\'t work, as the material was originally recorded on state of the art analogue equipment at Abbey Road and, thankfully none of his tinkering with The Beatles music carries over to these earlier released tracks. Also note that his all digital remastering for the above referenced anniversary editions does not supersede or replace in any way the official 2009 release of the entire Beatles catalogue.

For a more detailed and comprehensive overview of "The Beatles 1967-1970" 2 cd set and Giles Martin's attempt to rework the material digitally see my review for "The Beatles 1967-1970" here in Amazon.

In this wonderful collection spanning the four years between 1962 and 1966 we're getting many, not all obviously of the classic songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. My question then, is this: Why did EMI exclude any material from George Harrison? Answer: "The Beatles 1967-1970" 2 cd set contains 28 tracks, 14 on each disc. "The Beatles 1962-1966" 2 cd set contains 26 tracks, 13 on each disc. That difference of two (2) songs is the obvious answer. Had EMI equally matched this set with the later set\'s 28 tracks, those two additional songs would logically have to have been George Harrison songs! This set feels totally incomplete without any of the very cool songs George wrote and recorded with The Beatles during the "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" recording sessions. The two very best songs George was able to get out during this period (we all know the story there) are "Taxman" and "If I Needed Someone." With the absence of any George Harrison songs, this set completely lacks that "best of" feeling. There's a void here that cannot be filled.

Although we get Paul's "Paperback Writer," one his very best rockers, we don\'t get John's "Rain" (which should have been a Double A-Side single when issued in May 1966) Both tracks can be found on "The Beatles Past Masters" two cd set. (Originally issued as the "Hey Jude" album and released in the U.S. by Capital Records) Another interesting note is that although we get Paul's beautiful ballad "And I Love Her" we don\'t get John's very touching and soulful "If I Fell" recorded a day apart in 1964 and both used in "The Beatles" first film "A Hard Days Night." (The harmonies in both songs are probably the very best done by John and Paul during this period) Peter Asher on Sirius XM's The Beatles Channel has called these two songs "white hot Beatles at their very best in the early years." This set feels very incomplete without the songs noted above.

Yes we do get many all time Beatles mid 60's classics like "I Feel Fine," "Help." "Ticket To Ride," "Daytripper" "Yesterday," and "We Can Work It Out" along with the explosive, dynamite fun Beatles songs that ushered in Beatlemania on The Ed Sullivan Show "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You."

That said, there just are not enough tracks from "Revolver" and that period which included "Yellow Submarine" which is included in this set. As already stated, the absence of any George Harrison songs makes this compilation feel totally incomplete.

Although missing much, this set list is pure joy to listen to as these songs demonstrate that true genius of Lennon/McCartney in the earlier years and the always perfect producing of George Martin. The Beatles never repeated themselves from single to single and album to album and that is totally demonstrated here. "The Beatles 1962-1966" gets five stars for the sheer brilliance of the songs and the manner in which they were produced. It does leave quite a bit out for the years covered yet it\'s always sheer delight to listen to, the greatest rock and roll band of all time.. The Beatles.

For a more detailed and comprehensive overview of the remastering of The Beatles complete catalogue released in 2009 for the 40th anniversary of the "Abbey Road" album, see my complete analysis and review of "The Beatles 1967-1970." here in Amazon. The songs selected for this set perfectly demonstrate, as listed above, The Beatles at their very best between 1967 and 1970 and virtually nothing of relevance released in these years is left out. EMI knocked it out of the park on this compilation because we get four (4) of George Harrison's very best songs in his years with The Beatles. I wish I could say that about "The Beatles 1962-1966."

Still a Classic Collection of Hits, But Needs a Few More Songs.

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

From "Please, Please Me" to "Revolver" this collection of hits satisfies the requirements of an almost perfect showcase of The Beatles hits of the early years. The reason why I said almost pefect is because there a few iconic songs that seem to be omitted here like: "Twist and Shout", "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Do You Want to Know a Secret". They could have put a few more songs of "Revolver" that weren\'t charting hits, but were great songs like: "Good Day Sunshine", "Here, There and Everywhere" and maybe even "Got to Get You Into My Life". I realize "Got to Get You Into My Life" was later released as a hit single ten years later in 1976 from there complilation album entitled "Rock 'n' Roll Music", but because that compilation was never reissued, it could have been included as a bonus tack at the end of disc 2. Because the whole collection is a little over 1 hour long, it could have been released on one CD. I realize this program was originally formatted for vinyl LP and due to time constraints and reduction of amplitude on the cutter head made it impossible to put it all on one analogue disc, but for CD there is no reason, other than price gouging, to put a 1 hour program on 2 CD's. That is why adding songs to the collection would have made it more worth the money. This is why I tend to favor the Blue Album over the Red. The Blue Album seems to be more complete. I would buy both the Red and the Blue. It is still the best choice for a Beatles greatest hits collection.

If you are unfamiliar with the Beatles catalog or just want something to play and enjoy, this is a great CD to have in your collection. This and the Blue CD are a nice collection of songs that play well together. This is not the definitive "Greatest Hits" but rather a nice synopsis of the Beatles maturation.

This album informed my introduction to the foursome who changed music for all time-I was 3 or 4 at the time-it may have been shortly after the world lost John. My older sister had the Singles 1962-1966 2-LP collection. I re-discovered them at 14 and have not been able to quit them since-although who would want to, right? These guys are where it starts and ends for me. I had the bulkier 1993 2-cd set as an adult, but decided to get this re-master from 2010-and yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so glad I did. It sounds fantastic and richer for sure. Even though I'm probably one of the 5 people in the world who don\'t care much for Eleanor Rigby, I found myself liking it for the first time under this new treatment-that song definitely benefitted from the re-master. So why only 4 stars? EMI/Capitol--whoever you are--need to seriously reconsider packaging. I listen primarily in my car and it is a right hassle (not to mention a hazard), to change discs quickly without getting your hands stuck in the too-tight cardboard packaging and hitting the car in front of you. Also, my disc 1 had some gluey residue on the laser side so it was not fun trying to clean it off without scratching the disc. I mean, couldn\'t they have kept it streamlined, but with separate areas for each disc to be pressed into the case, or is that asking too much? Apart from that, oh, there will never be anyone else like these 4 guys who mean so much to me and to so many people the world over!! Love them! This 2-CD collection is also a good starting off point for parents wanting to introduce their kids to GOOD music-I am forever thankful to mine and to my sister for doing so with me ;)

Loved the Beatles growing up - hasn\'t changed one bit. These songs bring back memories galore. Sound quality is good for its age; some songs sound better than others but that is to be expected given the age of these recordings. They are not unlistenable by any means. Choice of songs is fine focusing on the most familiar ones. If you love the Beatles them don\'t hesitate and get both this album Beatles 1967-1970. have yourself a party and rock away!

Quando desfiz as caixas e fui arrumar minha mais recente mudança notei que esse CD duplo estava faltando; imediatamente corri para a Internet em busca de substituição, mas tinha que ser da mesma "leva" (data e série) do outro CD (o "album azul").
Esse CD é perfeito nesse ponto e minha coleção está novamente completa.
Quanto ao conteúdo, nem precisa comentar: esses são os Beatles desde o começo da carreira até pouco antes da grande mudança de direção que gerou o excepcional álbum "Sargent Pepper", em 1967. Vale cada centavo! -Fernando
