The companion piece to the 1962-1966 singles compilation, this set (often called "the blue album," as opposed to its chronological predecessor "the red album"), brings together the Beatles best known songs from 1967 through 1970. The Beatles were fiercely, relentlessly experimental during these years, and the swirling, visionary soundscapes of "Strawberry Fields Forever," which opens the collection, sets the tone with its effects-heavy production and backward tape loops. John Lennon's psychedelic songwriting, which emphasized crystalline melodies and surreal wordplay, can be heard on tracks like "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" and "Across the Universe."
Paul McCartney's fascination with English music hall and novelty numbers is clear on "Penny Lane" and "Ob-la-Di, Ob-la-Da," and the set also has some of his finest ballads, including the mega-hits "Let It Be" and "Hey Jude." George Harrison emerged as a fine songwriting talent during these years with "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun." Yet despite evidence of their diverging individual directions, the Beatles still rock as a band on cuts like "Revolution." (The set includes the single versions of "Revolution," "Lady Madonna," and "Hey Jude"). The Beatles set the tenor of the late-'60s with this spectacular soundtrack, and it remains--even after years of overplaying--original, beautiful music.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. "BEATLES" . . . need I say more?
What great memories (I'm 47). The songs hold up still to this day, in my opinion. My 11 year-old daughter listens to my Beatles' albums more than I do any more, honestly. This was actually a Christmas present for her (along with the "Red" album) because I was tired of her pulling out my old vinyl set!! Should people buy this? Of course they should. These songs are classics; not a bad song on the set.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 3 found this helpful. Buy this first, then start buying the albums.
What this collection does is introduce you to the Beatles, in general, in the last, final acts of their careers. It goes through their hits during their psychedelic phase, and then on through the rock of the White Album, Let It Be and Abbey Road. What this collection also includes are several singles that were not on those last three albums, like the sublime "Don't Let Me Down", the silly "Ballad Of John & Yoko", and the great George Harrison number "Old Brown Shoe". Also, single versions of "Get Back" and "Let It Be", superior to the album versions, are also on this disc, which is a great bonus to collectors. This is a great launching point to buy the albums, and the aforementioned tracks not on the albums are worth the price of this collection. Definitely for "completists", as well as casual fans.

Sexy, yet accessible. That speaks volumes of the singular voice of Nicole Campbell. Seductive as it slides through the scales, and approachable, as it comes from the meeting place between her heart and soul.Nicole Campbell was born to sing. "For me, music was not a choice, but rather a calling," she says with conviction and her casual charm. "At age three, my grandfather taped me singing a skewed version of a Christmas carol my father had taught me, in tune with most, if not all, of the words intact," and she's never looked back. Campbell began studying piano at age seven only to be drawn to playing by ear. Later she focused on honing and training her developing voice as a teen "because I knew I wanted to be one of those people you heard when you turned on the radio." Accolades and awards rolled in, allowing Campbell to earn a music degree in vocal performance from Willamette University - but all the while she knew she was preparing for a life in popular music.Turning from the rigidity of opera and classical voice toward the freedom of rock-n-roll, Campbell formed her first official band in Portland a decade ago. Though she released a single on Puddlestomp in '92, the real turn came when Ivan's Wish was formed two years later. The power-quartet made a swift side entrance into the Portland scene by releasing a fierce, but friendly, beautiful monster of a debut, fiR, before ever playing out live. Then they ...
