The best Beatles albums
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandSgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles
Buy used from: £3.58
This is the classic Beatles album. Hard to believe its over forty years old. Should be required listening for anyone who says they like music.
Please Please MePlease Please Me by The Beatles
Buy used from: £4.49
Sums up the raw energy of the band. This is the stuff they had been playing for the longest period as a group
LoveLove by The Beatles
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £3.79
May not be regarded by some as a Beatles album - but worth buying just for the different versions of Strawberry Fields and A Day in the Life
A Hard Day's NightA Hard Day's Night by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.28 / Used from: £3.91
The first album of all Beatles songs - from the album title to Things we said Today, a classic pop album, much copied but never bettered.
Let It Be... NakedLet It Be... Naked by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £5.91
Paul was right! This version is much better than the Phill Spector job. Two of Us and Let it Be are shown as classic songs.
Rubber SoulRubber Soul by The Beatles
Buy new: £13.38 / Used from: £4.92
The only song that doesnt seem to fit is Drive my Car, which feels like it should be on Revolver. This is the sort sort of album which sums up that first experience of getting stoned in the sunshine
RevolverRevolver by The Beatles
Buy new: £9.68 / Used from: £6.75
Serious stuff - Thank God for Ringo! Then it turns out he was singing about drugs!
Help!Help! by The Beatles
Buy new: £13.48 / Used from: £3.68
As soundtracks go, this is yet another classic. Includes yesterday, which Paul wrote when he was in his twenties - hows that for a kick in the face!
11 by The Beatles
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £3.99
Does exactly what it says on the cover - good starter album.
Abbey RoadAbbey Road by The Beatles
Buy new: £8.48 / Used from: £7.00
I think this is better than the White album - Also contains George's best song - Here comes the Sun
