The Beatles' original 1973 compilation 1962-1966 ("Red") and 1967-1970 ("Blue") have been remastered by the same dedicated team of engineers at EMI Music's Abbey Road Studios responsible for remastering The Beatles' original UK studio albums, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result is the highest fidelity the catalogue has seen since its original release. Both 2CD packages include expanded booklets with original liner notes, newly written essays by Bill Flanagan and rare photos. "Red" and "Blue" are the first Beatles compilations to be released after the band's 1970 disbandment, the popular collections each feature a selection of singles and album tracks written by the band's members.



The closest the Beatles came to a greatest hits package, this document of the early part of their career features hit singles (in chronological order) and selected album tracks, running from "Love Me Do" through the groundbreaking Rubber Soul and Revolver albums. While this may be an excellent intro for beginners, real fans will never be content with only selections, especially when you're dealing with those aforementioned albums. Capitol packages the collection on two discs, copying the original vinyl version--but, of course, CDs hold more music than records did. Still, you do get 26 bona fide classics, so there's no real need to complain.

Niemals waren die Beatles näher an einem Greatest Hits Album als auf diesem Dokument ihrer frühen Karrierejahre. Es finden sich ihre Hitsingles (in zeitlicher Reihenfolge), sowie ausgewählte Albumtracks -- angefangen bei "Love Me Do", bis hin zu den bahnbrechenden Alben Rubber Soul und Revolver. Mag The Beatles 1962-1966 ein wunderbarer Einstieg für Neulinge sein, echte Fans werden sich nie mit bloß einigen Auszügen zufriedengeben, speziell, wenn es um die oben genannten Platten geht. Capitol brachte die Sammlung auf zwei CDs heraus, analog zur originalen Schallplattenveröffentlichung -- aber auf CDs paßt eigentlich wesentlich mehr Musik als auf eine herkömmliche Schallplatte. Trotzdem bekommt man 26 echte Klassiker, also hat man eigentlich keinen Grund, zu klagen.

Assembling a compilation of the Beatles is a difficult task, not only because they had an enormous number of hits, but also because singles didn't tell the full story; many of their album tracks were as important as the singles, if not more so. The double-album 1962-1966, commonly called The Red Album, does the job surprisingly well, hitting most of the group's major early hits and adding important album tracks like "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," "Drive My Car," "Norwegian Wood," and "In My Life." Naturally, there are many great songs missing from the 26-track 1962-1966, and perhaps it would have made more sense to include the Revolver cuts on its companion volume, 1967-1970, yet The Red Album captures the essence of the Beatles' pre-Sgt. Pepper records.
