Description:

PAST MASTERS VOLUME ONE is a compilation of singles, B-sides and other tracks that did not appear on the Beatles` original British albums. The Beatles as a general rule did not include their singles on their albums in the UK.
PAST MASTERS VOLUME ONE is available with PAST MASTERS VOLUME TWO on one cassette on Parlophone (91135).
The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr.
Producer: George Martin.
Compilation producer: Mark Lewisohn.
Recorded between September 4, 1962 and June 14, 1965. Includes liner notes by Mark Lewisohn.
Along with its sister volume, PAST MASTERS VOL. 1 gathers singles, oddities and B-sides together and saves the dedicated Beatlemaniac considerable time and money hunting down this uncommon material. Like the "Red Album," VOLUME ONE covers the first half of the Beatles career from 1962 to 1965. Such was the enormous success of the Fab Four`s breakout singles "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" that their vocals were recut for German versions ("Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" and "Sie Liebt Dich" respectively), which were originally slated for the West German market (and are included on this collection) before being released in the States.
Always mindful of their influences, the Beatles in their early phase were also notable for their choice of cover songs. Carl Perkins, Larry Williams and Little Richard were all paid tribute to eventually. While Ringo Starr sang "Matchbox" and John Lennon handled "Slow Down" and "Bad Boy," Paul McCartney channeled Richard Penniman. His take on "Long Tall Sally" induces goosebumps and the influence clearly carried over to "I`m Down."
