Greatest Beatles Albums
A Hard Day's NightA Hard Day's Night by The Beatles
Buy new: £18.68 / Used from: £3.90
The perfect pop masterpiece, throwaway maybe but mighty.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandSgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles
Buy used from: £3.40
Sheer Genius, genuinely changed the world of music
RevolverRevolver by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.28 / Used from: £3.40
Their best but Yell Sub kills the greatest run of songs ever, from Here, There and Everywhere to For No One
Rubber SoulRubber Soul by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £4.96
14 classics could be14 different bands but is the single greatest
White Album - The BeatlesWhite Album - The Beatles by The Beatles
Buy used from: £21.80
Would've been their best if a single disc album. Still mind blowing though.
Abbey RoadAbbey Road by The Beatles
Buy used from: £4.65
Patchy, opening with a Chuck Berry rip off but some great songs and the medley is a ace. Maxwells Silver Hammer crapness evened out by Something and my fave Beatles track, Here Comes The Sun.
Help!Help! by The Beatles
Buy new: £14.38 / Used from: £3.49
First Beatles album I bought. Pretty marvellous and it has Yesterday and YGTHYLA plus Ticket To Ride
Please Please MePlease Please Me by The Beatles
Buy new: £12.88 / Used from: £4.49
Solid debut, was revolutionary at the time, now it is still passable with a great opening and finishes with one of the greatest covers ever.
Beatles for SaleBeatles for Sale by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.08 / Used from: £4.10
The down album, sounds hurried and harried. Still it has some great tracks and would be one the greatest albums of a band if were not The Beatles
With the BeatlesWith the Beatles by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.58 / Used from: £6.51
My least favourite of the proper albums but many would give this 5/5, me? 4.
Let It BeLet It Be by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.28 / Used from: £3.11
Should've ended with Abbey Road, this non proper release doesn't do justice to the band or the songs chosen. I still love it and it has the Harrison solo on song, Let It Be.
Magical Mystery TourMagical Mystery Tour by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.48 / Used from: £4.84
A remarkable collection of songs on an album originally released as an EP
Yellow SubmarineYellow Submarine by The Beatles
Buy used from: £4.99
Hate the song and not a fan of this. Brilliant film though.
1962-1966 : The Red Album1962-1966 : The Red Album by The Beatles
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £11.99
The best Beatles best of for now twinned with below
1967-1970 : The Blue Album1967-1970 : The Blue Album by The Beatles
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £7.50
Surely a definitive 40+ track double/triple cd must come soon surely.
Past Masters: Volume OnePast Masters: Volume One by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £1.59
Complete the collection with this and its sister, really great and bloody essential
Past Masters Volume TwoPast Masters Volume Two by The Beatles
Buy used from: £2.20
May just be better than above but both are indispensible
Live At The BBCLive At The BBC by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.58 / Used from: £3.99
A popular release which made the Anthologies possible. There is true joy to be garnered from this collection
Anthology 1Anthology 1 by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £6.34
Essential listening for the beginnings of the greatest artists of the 20th Century
Anthology 2Anthology 2 by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.98 / Used from: £8.48
A very interesting album compiling the the Beatles greatest period
Anthology 3Anthology 3 by The Beatles
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £10.82
A masterclass in songwriting, this is as essential as all the above albums
Let It Be... NakedLet It Be... Naked by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £4.99
A real treat, I still prefer the original but this is realer and more than worthy of sitting next to its relatives. Naked gives a chance to hear the songs as they were meant to be heard
11 by The Beatles
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.44
I don't own this as I own the above 22 so I can't tell you not to bother. It is a great introduction for those not willing for the long haul
Yellow Submarine SongtrackYellow Submarine Songtrack by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.08 / Used from: £5.00
Perhaps a worthy exercise, it has the feeling Emi were testing the water for a wholesale remastering of the albums. It would be a good but very expensive idea for me but value for money
