 | White Album - The Beatles by The Beatles
Buy used from: £10.99 5/5 This is a real grower, but was worth the patience. Advice: make highlights compilation of it then gradually add remaining tracks ;-) '...USSR'/'Dear Prudence'/'Helter Skelter' etc...
|
 | Revolver by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £3.38 5/5 When I first heard 'Tomorrow Never Knows' it sounded very futuristic. Still does today. Recorded in 1966. Also contains 'For No One' etc.
|
 | Abbey Road by The Beatles
Buy used from: £4.64 5/5 Their last recorded album. Sad and uplifting for the same reasons. George's songs shine. This album has never dated. Contains: 'Come Together'/'Something'/'Oh Darling'/'Golden Slumbers' etc.
|
 | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles
Buy used from: £3.44 5/5 This stereo edition does not quite have the now unavailable mono edition's impact due to it having less special effects/over-dubs, but 'A Day In The Life' is magnificent.
|
 | Magical Mystery Tour by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.48 / Used from: £4.84 4.5/5 Contains 'I Am The Walrus'/'Your Mother Should Know'/'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Slightly disjointed (it was originally a 7inch double E.P.) hence 4.5/5. The peak of their psychedelic phase.
|
 | A Hard Day's Night by The Beatles
Buy new: £18.68 / Used from: £3.90 5/5 This is the best album from their early years. Every track was good enough to have been a single. Wonderful.
|
 | Rubber Soul by The Beatles
Buy new: £13.38 / Used from: £4.44 5/5 The stepping stone between 'Help!' and 'Revolver'. Recorded quickly but that's it's strength. 6 songs from this album made it onto their '1962-1966' compilation. Mainly acoustic and excellent
|
 | Let It Be by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.38 / Used from: £3.10 4.5/5 Their last released album (recorded 1969). 'Get Back'; 'Across The Universe'; 'I Me Mine' etc. A good album, but not one of THEIR favourites.
|
 | Help! by The Beatles
Buy new: £13.48 / Used from: £3.67 4.5/5 Back on form again after the disappointing 'Beatles For Sale'. Side1 takes 'A Hard Day's Night' a step further along while Side2 hints at what was to come on 'Rubber Soul'.
|
 | With the Beatles by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.58 / Used from: £4.00 4.5/5 By time of this, their 2nd album they'd conquered the U.K. Their 1963 'From Me To You' onwards singles and b-sides were left off this great album. It would never happen nowadays ;-)
|
 | Beatles for Sale by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.18 / Used from: £4.10 4/5 The Beatles sound tired on this album after a year of conquering the world with non-stop appearences. The songs written by them here are a lot better than those written by others...
|
 | Please Please Me by The Beatles
Buy used from: £4.49 3.5/5 Their first album. Recorded in 16 hours during a non-stop recording session. Almost a live recording. Good, but slightly dated now. Contains 'I Saw Her Standing There' etc.
|
 | Yellow Submarine by The Beatles
Buy used from: £4.83 2.5/5 Not really a Beatles album as such. Side2 is the George Martin orchestral film score hence 2.5/5 grade. Off-cut recordings basically, but contains the magnificent rocker 'Hey Bulldog'
|
 | Past Masters Volume Two by The Beatles
Buy used from: £2.44 5/5 Gathers together A's / B's etc. not available on their albums from 1965 to1970. 'Day Tripper'/'Paperback Writer'/'Hey Jude'/'Revolution' etc :-)
|
 | Past Masters: Volume One by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £1.59 4/5 Gathers together A's / B's / E.P. tracks etc. not available on their 1963 to 1965 albums. Contains 'She's A Woman'/'I Call Your Name'/'I Feel Fine' etc.
|
 | 1967-1970 : The Blue Album by The Beatles
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £8.40 5/5 Digitally Remastered. Probably the best compilation album ever. Sound quality fantastic. Contains the very best of their latter material including all U.K A sides from this period. BUY IT!
|
 | 1962-1966 : The Red Album by The Beatles
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £12.47 5/5 Digitally Remastered. Sound quality is wonderful. Gathers together highlights from 1962 to 1966 and includes all the U.K. A sides from this period. RECOMMENDED!
|
 | Yellow Submarine Songtrack by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.18 / Used from: £5.47 4/5 Digitally Remixed and Remasted. This version of 'Yellow Submarine' removes George Martin film score but adds almost all of the Beatles songs used in the film. 'Hey Bulldog' sounds incredably fresh
|
 | 1 by The Beatles
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.98 5/5 Digitally Remixed and Remastered. Magnificent. All here except 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. BUY IT!!!!!!
|
 | Let It Be... Naked by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £5.45 4.5/5 Digitally Remixed. Strips away the Phil Spectre wall of sound. Kind of similar sounding to unreleased Glyn John's mix. Good alternative to original. Sound quality amazingly clear and powerful.
|
 | Anthology 3 by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £10.68 4.5/5 Contains out-takes from their latter period. Slightly disappointing to those familiar with many of their other out-takes which remain unreleased. Excellent all the same.
|
 | Anthology 2 by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.98 / Used from: £8.48 4/5 Gathers together some of the out-takes from their mid-period. Disappointing to those familiar with remaining unused unreleased out-takes, but still good. Brilliant 'Real Love' track is a bonus.
|
 | Anthology 1 by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £5.72 3.5/5 Gathers together some early out-takes and way too many live tracks. A lot of better quality unreleased material is absent. Good but patchy. Saved by the sublime 'Free As A Bird'new track.
|
 | The Capitol Albums Vol. 1 by The Beatles
Buy new: £57.98 5/5 Digitally Remastered. Sounds wonderful. Excellent value for money. Puts the sound quality of the old regular U.K. CDs to shame. Powerful and raw. BUY BOTH VOLUMES!
|
 | Live At The BBC by The Beatles
Buy new: £17.08 / Used from: £4.00 4/5 Mostly taken from bootlegs. Sound quality excellent. Gathers together best of what's been preserved by private collectors of The Beatles' radio shows. The BBC had wiped original master tapes :-(

Listmania!
