| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. It's always interesting to revisit a song that you loved in the past. In this instance, Anthology 1 presents a rare view into the EMI studios in the 1960's. The disc presents several alternative versions of songs we have all heard on the radio and I found it amazing to listen to the origional demo on acoustic guitar, prior to Lennon and McCartney arrangements that became comercial hits. Anthology presents several versions leading to the final polished release that provides a segment of time, held in place, on this disc. I highly recomend it to any Beatles fan. MF Foster | |

The old recordings made before the Beatles made it really big only available on these CD's are just incredible! If thats not enough, you get to read about it all with the brochure included. I am so glad I have made this purchase! | |

The beginning where John and Paul first meet, where George starts playing with them and finally when Ringo is drumming for the Beatles. The Beatles when they were young lads to when the magic starting happening. | |

I bought this CD to finish out the Anthology. I have #2 and #3 already. Disc 1, well Free as a Bird is the best thing about this disc. Even though the live cuts at the end of disc 1 bring back memories of a cold February night. Everything else in between is just fluff. Disc 2 is much better. | |

A must have for mop tops. A great behind the scenes experience at the early years. A real treat to listen to great music coming together. If you remember the 60's or even if it's cloudy, you must have this series of albums in your collection. | |

Positives: For anyone who loves, likes, or is even moderately interested in the Beatles, Anthology 1 is an excellent addition to your music library. From home recordings made in the late 1950's to alternate takes and classic performances, such as the Royal Variety Show in London and the Ed Sullivan Show on their first U.S. visit, these discs contain a fairly comprehensive view of early Beatles history. Minor Negative: In some cases, the sound quality sounds suspiciously like you are listening to something recorded live on primitive equipment in the late 50's/early 60's. Oh, wait. You are. Just don't expect too much sound quality and you won't be disappointed. Major Negative: The alternate takes on the Anthology series are very interesting to hear. However, in many cases, they are actually the combination of several different takes. In these cases, you're hearing an alternate final mix of several takes made 30+ years after the fact. Basically, you're hearing a version of the song that didn't exist when the Beatles were still around. It seems that it would be more authentic to just let us hear these early takes in their original form. However, as they are presented, they would probably be more enjoyable to the casual listener since mixing and matching takes would result in a more complete feel. | |

The Beatles Anthology 1 makes for a great history lesson for those interested in the genesis and early career of the world's best loved rock and roll band. Sound quality is lacking in some places but is better than expected when considering that some of the earlier recordings were made by propping up a single mic to capture all of the instuments and vocals. The few live concert recordings are great. Those thinking of purchasing this album should note that this one is for die-hard Beatles fans and students of late 50s / early 60s rock only. Casual fans will probably not find much of interest here. New fans should probably start with "A Hard Days Night" , "Rubber Soul" , or one of the other excellent Beatles studio albums. | |

This CD was a huge disappointment. The sound quality was awful. It sounded like the songs were recorded at a state fair. | |
