## Description

Product description          Past Masters Volume One CD Parlophone, CDP 7 90043 2, 1988, 18 Track             .com          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

    Big Hits, B-Sides, and The Big Beat
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2007*

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'.)

    Great collection of singles and b-sides from early years

The Beatles Past Masters series from 1988 features two volumes, with the first covering from 1962-1965. This disk captures many songs that were released as singles, such as the classics "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The version of "Love Me Do" here is different than the Please Please Me release, and features Ringo on drums rather than a session sit-in.There is great clarity in these tracks, and you can also catch an idea of the recording technique of the era, as some parts of tracks are modified mid-song, like Ringo's drums in "She Loves You.""This Boy" features an early example of Beatles three-part harmony, along with dual guitar parts, a gentle acoustic strum combined with a more rapid electric part. A great performance by John Lennon on the lead vocal part.Two novelty tracks included are the German versions of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand) and "She Loves You" (Sie Liebt Dich) recorded as a tribute to the Fab's Hamburg days.One of the sleepers is "I Call Your Name" with John Lennon on lead vocals. The lyrics have an interesting circular twist, and there are some tricky tempo changes that are unusual for an early Beatles R&B tune."Slow Down" is just good fun, a danceable fave with boogie woogie piano, stop/start instrumentation and another fine vocal performance by John Lennon."Matchbox" is a Carl Perkin's tune with Ringo on vocals and is another fun rockabilly roadhouse song. "If you don't want my peaches honey, please don't shake my tree."  Check out George's twangy solo."I Feel Fine" has the famous distortion intro, excellent guitar melody, and soaring harmonies, "I'm so glad that she's my little girl..." Nice bouncy drum/bass rhythm as well."She's a Woman" has never been a favorite of mine. The choppy guitar is kind of irritating and Paul's vocals are strained to near hernia level."Bad Boy" is yet another fun Lennon number with great rocking guitar."Yes It Is" is a slow ballad with three-part harmonies. To get a true appreciation of this song, check out the version from the Anthology series, which takes John's rough cut and melds with the more perfected version. Impressive."I'm Down" closes out with a Paul rave-up, a fun R&B tinged tune with Bad Beach Boys meet Little Richard vocals and some wild organ.
