The Beatles Anthology: 2 - Beatles (The) (CD 1996)

Great Classic Beatles Album! Worked Pefectly 2! Don't know why review needs 100 words, what more can I say? Lots of great songs for us Beatle Loving Oldies. Neat to see kids still into 60's music. Hard to get them interested in classical but thats OK by me, as long as we can keep a BEAT which the BEATles were masters of changing...

took my money, never received item. should be in jail for fraud. should not be able to sell on ebay again. Buyers beware. scam artist

The Beatles are one of the greatest bands of all time. In this cd set we have a clear example of why. The music of the Beatles is evolving and the band is improving their style of presenting their music. The songs run the gambit from childhood memories; Strawberry fields Forever to the sublime A day in the life. Over all an excellent cd to purchase if you enjoy music.

AWESOME!A MUST FOR EVERY BEATLE FAN.If your a Beatles fan you Need To Have This In Your Collection.I Now Have I,II.and III for my collection.

Great stuff for the true fan.I love the acoustic playing in "I'm Looking Through You" It's to bad the bridge was not written at that time.A local radio station a couple of years ago had a day when they played all 3 anthologys back to back.I couldn't figure out why.Anyway,I tuned in when I was in my car,and the song was"Got to Get You Into My Life"A great song,but not on this lp.All that was on was that single note and I thought,how dreadful for someone tuning in and hearing that.I don't think it should have even been on the disc.
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is really great.It starts with John playing in his room with an acoustic guitar.with 3 different parts,you get the real deal of how the song developed.I'm so glad that was on there.

Through the years-and through my 100's of Beatle and Beatle related cd's, things tended to get misplaced along the way. Compared to local store prices-this was a bargain. Also, you have to keep in mind that stores that are specifically cd and dvd stores generally have higher prices-and then on the other end, you have "everything" stores, ala WalMart or Target-and they're not particularly great at restocking items that aren't in the top ten. So, taking a chance on whether they'd have a catalog item in stock is just that-taking a chance. So, pricewise, and in terms of availability, I was very pleased with this purchase.-and seller

I was dum and thought it was a record but i still like it. thx for the good price. it was new just like they said it would be.

I have been a Beatles fan for almost 9 years now and any Beatles record or CD I can listen to I will. The anthology for me is interesting because it showcases the Beatles as "mere mortals". So often, the perception is The Beatles were almost supernatural. These outtakes demonstrate that although the Fab Four were quite talented, they were certainly capable of making mistakes, which they often did. The new song "Real Love" is very moving and it makes you wonder what would have been if John had not died. These songs cover the time period from 1965-1967. An arguement could be made this was their most creative period. The outtakes and demo of "Strawberry Fields Forever" vividly illustrate how a song goes from start to finish. Though a Beatles fan would definitely enjoy any of the anthologies, even a new fan can find material to they would like on Anthology 2. I have not purchased Anthology 3, but after listening to this set, I am probably going to get it. I give The Beatles Anthology 2 the highest rating possible because I truly believe it is excellent. The Beatles music is timeless and always entertaining whether your 10, 50 or 99. Hopefully, I'll still be listening to them when I'm 64!
