Summary: LAS NUMERO UNO Y SORPRESAS!!!
Comment: La muy estimada e incomparable coleccion de los populares singles que en su momento editaron los FAB FOUR, y que no fueron incluidas en sus LPs; las PAST MASTERS son un complemento para todo el que tiene la coleccion de los Beatles, pues ademas de clasicas arrolladoras como SHE LOVES YOU, I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND, I FEEL FINE y FROM ME TO YOU tambien nos presentan magnificos y esplendidos "lados B" como THANK YOU GIRL, I'LL GET YOU,THIS BOY y grandes piezas innovadoras y experimentales como SHE'S A WOMAN y YES IT IS; a destacar tambien las "rarezas" como las versiones alemanas KOMM GIB MIR DEINE HAND y SIE LIEBT DICH, asi como las "covers" de LONG TALL SALLY y SLOW DOWN (simplemente superan a las originales) RECOMENDADO PARA TODO AMANTE DEL POP Y EL ROCK!!

Summary: Fill Out Your Collection
Comment: There are titles on this CD that can't be found on any of the released albums, either British of American. And "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" is worth it for the oddity alone. Recommended. Get Volume 2 as well.

Summary: A must buy item
Comment: The songs, included on this LP are not replay from original records, but collection of the songs which wasn't published at a time. This great LP must be part of any collection of Beatles records.

Summary: Big Hits, B-Sides, and The Big Beat
Comment: Although they're the band that made history more than any other, The Beatles `Past Masters, Volume I' may be judged as a quaint archive of their music. In danger of being pigeon-holed as a half repetitive, half extraneous addition to one's C.D. collection, I was pleasantly relieved to find much to embrace from the selections. Having songs that are repeated on the smash `1,' it is a hard sell considering there are five songs* on both albums.
The good news is how wonderful the less available songs are received by hungry ears yearning for a bigger Beatles' diet. I almost bought this C.D. for "She's a Woman" alone. The B-side of the truly stunning "I Feel Fine," it features arguably one of Paul's best early vocal performances. Truly belted out with gusto, this gem has the guitar twang and percussion to match, layered with some textured piano. In a vintage vein, "This Boy" works well as the UK's flip-side for "I Want to Hold Your Hand". Sometimes a forgotten ballad, except in the movie 'A Hard Day's Night,' it captures their fifties romantic affinity well. "Bad Boy" is a rascally number, sung with power by John with a back-up that should all that prove the Beatles were catapulted by their Hamburg performances as much as their novelty haircuts. And, speaking of Hamburg, two German versions of their songs ("I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You") show a gratitude for the preparation that tested their mettle with fire. While two versions seem a bit repetitive, I've yet to hit fast-forward. Paul's prowess pervades "I'm Down," a flip side with substance backing up the heralded "Help!". Continuing with the essentials, "I Call Your Name" sounds like the song that got away from the 'A Hard Day's Night' soundtrack.
Aside from the big five hits, the rest of the C.D. is merely very good. "Matchbox" isn't Ringo's remake of 'Boys,' but it rounds out the other songs nicely. "Long Tall Sally" proves Paul's earnest devotion to Little Richard and sports a spirited rendition. "Yes It Is" is slightly languid with the exception of John's booming voice which is in fine form. "Thank You Girl" is heartwarming, yet similar in this vein. "Slow Down" is perhaps the most excellent of the lesser gems, even if John's vocal talent is in danger of drowning out the rest.
So much to love and discover on `Past Masters, Volume I'. Hopefully, you'll try it out and unearth the hidden treasures for yourself.
(*"Love Me Do," "From Me to You," "She Loves You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and "I Feel Fine" can be found on this collection and `1'.)

Summary: Two are always better than One
Comment: Past Masters The Beatles Early years one & Two are both rocking CD's if one wants to get a sense of this groups sound which made them World Famous.Past Masters one and Two have songs that were not releaed on their U.S. Albums. Many were for European consumption. No matter we all rock to the same Rythems of thei Phenominal Super Group. Whos influences still echo through the Music Industrie almost 43 years later. !!

Editorial Reviews:
|
Although they were probably the band that most transformed rock from a singles medium to an album-oriented form, the Beatles also released many singles and EP tracks that never made it onto albums. In the U.S., Capitol turned the group's early LPs, through Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, into compilations, more or less, throwing the hit singles onto the vinyl to augment the album tracks. When the label later released the U.K. albums on CD, it posed a problem: What to do with the non-LP singles? Past Masters, Volume 1 compiles 18 of those singles, including some of their best-known tracks, running from "Love Me Do," "She Love You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and "This Boy" to "I Feel Fine" and Paul's homage to Little Richard, "I'm Down." Essential stuff. --Bill Holdship
