"This has not dated & it is so cool from the cover to the contents - but why include Yellow Submarine!!! Highlight: All of it - Taxman/Eleanor Rigby/She Said/Love You Too - except Yellow Submarine!"
"Full of excellent pop classics. Highlight: Drive My Car/Norwegian Wood/Think for Yourself/In My Life/The Word/Girl/You Won't See Me. Skip: Michelle (trite)"
"Four individuals making a record - hit and miss but the hits outweigh the misses. Highlight: Back in the USSR/Savoy Truffle/Warm Gun. Skip: Obladi (tosh)/Revolution 9 (pointless)"
"A lacklustre film on the whole but the songs are amazing. Highlight: Magical Mystery Tour/I Am The Walrus/Strawberry Fields Forever/Blue Jay Way. Skip: Penny Lane (twee)"
"A great soundtrack and even better songs that didn't make it into the film! Highlight: I'll Be Back/Can't Buy Me Love/Anytime At All/If I Fell. Skip: Happy Just to Dance with You (boring)"
"The best songs are in the film and they ARE great songs. Highlight: Ticket to Ride/Hide Your Love Away/Another Girl/The Night Before. Skip: Yesterday (yawn)"
"Some truly great moments but clearly a band that has outgrown itself. Highlight: Something/Come Together/Polythene Pam/Because. Skip: Maxwell's Silver Hammer (horrible) /I Want You (long & dull)"
"Full of magic and invention but the twee family songs spoil it. Highlight: Lucy in the Sky/Good Morning/Mr Kite/A Day in the Life. Skip: When I'm 64/Lovely Rita (not as imaginative or special)"
"A downbeat pop album with a couple of tired covers but some superb original songs. Highlight: Baby's in Black/I'm A Loser/Eight Days a Week. Skip: Honey Don't (no effort)"
"Tired and depressing - no sparkle anywhere, just going through the motions. Highlight: Across the Universe/Two of Us/I Me Mine. Skip: Long & Winding Road (hate it)"
""13 hours to record - and the second took even longer!" A nice little album. Highlight: Ask Me Why/Twist & Shout. Skip:There's a Place/A Taste of Honey (uninspired/dull)"
"Not much of soundtrack, excepting George Martin's orchestral pieces, a couple of alright original tracks. Highlight: Hey Bulldog/Only A Northern Song. The only place we should find Yellow Submarine."
