Biography

"The story began in Harold Macmillan’s “never had it so good” ’50s Britain. It should be fiction: four teenagers with no more than eight O’Levels between them, running and biking and busing and busking all over Liverpool in search of new chords and old guitars and half-decent drum kit and any gig at all.

They were determined to amount to something – in George’s words “we just had this amazing inner… Read more in Amazon's The Beatles Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The first moment I heard this..., 29 July 2007
By 
Brian Levine - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Anthology 2 (Audio CD)
...pre-release a few years ago, I couldn't believe it.

The strains of John desperately trying to sing 'Strawberry Fields' in C instead of the published A, alone in his bedroom with a manky tape recorder, looped with three successive versions sets the tone for the whole album.

Paul's clarity of voice on 'Your Mother Should Know' and the first demo of 'Fool on the Hill' are brilliant. The fluffs (Paul screwing up and swearing), the quirks (John's 1-2-3 'Sugar-Plum-Fairy, Sugar-Plum-Fairy' on Day in the Life), Paul breaking a glass and John ribbing him for it and the omniscience of Sir George Martin, overseeing all.

As Paul says in a silly voice prior to launching into a military-drum-beat-backed 'Your mother Should Know':

'You want us to do it again George?...OK this time, with ciggie in mouth..

Frankly Paul you could do it with a tuba up your a** and it would still sound magnificent!!!

If you're a Beatles fan, buy volume two of anthology first: and turn up the volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars priceless stuff, 12 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Anthology 2 (Audio CD)
packed with rare takes and live performances, this is essential listening for the beatles fan. no greatest hits collection, this album feels more like being a voyeur to some of the most historic recordings done by the beatles. standout tracks include the instrumentals 'eleanor rigby' and 'within you without you' (have to be heard to appreciated), early versions of 'fool on the hill' and 'i'm looking through you' and the incedible 'strawberry fields forever' john lennon recorded in his house.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tresure trove for a Beatles fan, 14 Oct 2003
This review is from: Anthology 2 (Audio CD)
Although most of the 45 tracks are largely interesting works in progress there are also 4 self written tracks that can not be found anyehere else ....enough reason alone for a fan to buy this! Better than "Anthology 1" due to the higher quality songs exposed and better recordings of them but not as good as "Anthology 3".

Overall this is an interesting and enjoyable experience of the craft that went into the Beatles late Summer-Autumn period from the 1965 album "Help" to late 1967 "The Magical Mystery Tour".
