The Bealtes phenomenon is the greatest thing to happen to music since Bach-Mozart-Beethoven eras. There's been many great artists. Yes! Always great in the "music" term. The Bealtes are something else, they are in a league of their own. Is more than music...
This No 1s album is full of pros and cons.
First of all, if there are people out there that have never bought a Bealtes album, maybe because they don't know which one to buy, then there is no better place to start than here. This release is probably not meant to be for fans who already own all the Beatle's albums. This is designed for the new generation that won't venture into buying the whole collection unless they are introduced.
Secondly, it would've been better, to compile the best songs instead of the ones that reached #1. If the intention was to make the Beatles survive through the masses, with just one release; then do it sublime! Do it "A day in the life," Do it "Across the Universe," Do it "In my life"time. Too much concentration on their first period. Those lovely early songs, are fresh air for the soul, but remember that variation gives more meaning to it all. There are quite a few really good songs that should have been included on this C.D.
In conclusion, all the bealtes albums are essential for a true music lover. A collection without them is like a Bible without gospels. If you are seriously into music, you just can't ignore the best example of progress ever made by a group or individual. The Beatle would be my choice for the band of the 20th Century.
It's a wonderful CD, and with Christmas just over a month away, then what present to buy for a loved one.
