    This is a great sounding album with an nice mix of song. I had a needle drop of this album and was impressed by its sound so I bought the original LP. I compared this album to my 70's UK Beatles albums and it has the same great sound but with a little more vocal emphasis. The vocals really sparkle as well as guitars have more of a bite in the solos. You can get a NM for $20-30 and that is a great deal.

      An interesting German compilation with a trippy cover from the Strawberry Fields Forever shoots and an eclectic tracklist of songs from all eras of the Beatles until this point, although 1964-1965 is definitely the focus. As for the record itself, it sounds good and includes the "hi-hat" intro for All My Loving which was edited out of US and UK issues but included in continental European and Japanese pressings. Overall I think this is a unique compilation that while not "essential" for any Beatles collector, would make a fine addition to any collection if it can be found.
