Past Masters Vol. 2

...and so the magic of the 'non-album' tracks continue.... It is EMBARRASSING how good these songs are and the fact they WEREN'T on their albums!!!! I have seen sites where people have 're-configured' the 'White Album' to include 'Hey Jude' and 'Lady Madonna', or re-configured 'Rubber Soul' to include 'We Can Work It Out' and 'Day Tripper'... it just don't work!!!! Their albums are 'peerless' and 'perfect'.... these singles showed you how great The Beatles were and how much they gave to the record buying public of the day.

Past Masters Vol. 1

We come to the end of The Beatles' albums reviewed.... This of course leaves us with the 'non-album' songs.... it just so happens that some of these 'non-album' songs happen to be the most significant, ground-breaking and brilliant songs EVER recorded!!!! Oh yes The Beatles did NOT short sell their millions of fans.... the very concept of constructing a song that is so utterly original and brilliant and NOT promote your latest album with it still to this day confounds me!!!! Picture this, release a song called, 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' (Top 5) and have the confidence and audacity that the album that you are releasing the same week ('With The Beatles') DOESN'T need a majestic song like 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' to 'sell' it!!!!! Man oh man....
