Product Description
From Amazon.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
Chronique amazon.fr
Bien que les Beatles aient largement contribué à faire passer le rock de la production de 45 tours à l'album, ils écrivirent de nombreux titres qui ne trouvèrent jamais leur place sur un 33 tours. Aux États-Unis, jusqu'à la sortie de Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Capitol transforma leurs premiers albums en véritables compilations, en y ajoutant des singles pour augmenter la durée des vinyles. Lorsque le label sortit plus tard les disques britanniques du groupe en CD, cela posa un problème : que faire des titres qui n'avaient jamais figuré sur un 33 tours ? Past Masters, Volume 1 est une compilation de dix-huit de ces chansons, parmi lesquelles on retrouve certains de leurs titres les plus connus, "Love Me Do", "She Loves You", "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "This Boy", "I Feel Fine", ainsi que l'hommage de Paul à Little Richard, "I'm Down". Une valeur sûre. --Bill Holdship

Round-up of singles never released on original albums,
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Past Masters: Volume One (Audio CD)
In the sixties, singles were far more important than albums and it was common practice for the best tracks to be released on singles or EP's and not to appear on album until there were enough tracks for a Greatest hits. Album sales were modest compared to singles sales so the idea of using a single to promote an album had not yet been born. When it was decided to release all the original Beatles albums on CD, there were enough of these tracks to fill two CD's of their own. Past masters volumes 1 and 2 contain these tracks. In a few cases, different versions of the songs appeared on original albums. Volume 2 (the other one) is the stronger of the two, but both are excellent.Love me do began it all for the Beatles, becoming their first UK - it reached the top 20 then but became a much bigger hit later on. From me to you, She loves you, I want to hold your hand and I feel fine are the other major hits on this collection. The Beatles also recorded German versions of She loves you and I want to hold your hand and those versions are included here. Among the other great tracks here are covers Long tall Sally (Little Richard) and Matchbox (Carl Perkins) that clearly demonstrate their musical roots in rock'n'roll. Since this CD was originally released, all the hits were released on the red album, 1962 to 1966, so if you're just looking for hits, you might be better to buy that and its companion blue album, 1966 to 1970, or the more recent Beatles 1. But if you are a serious Beatles fan, this album is just as important as the original albums.

A great, and well made CD,
By kickit (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Past Masters: Volume One (Audio CD)
When I first put this CD into my CD player, it was like WOW. I cn't believe how good the songs were in this CD. Most of the songs had really good lyrics with the exception of "That Boy" and "Matchbox," which had horrible lyrics. Another good thing about the songs, was that just about all of them had a great melody that went along perfectly with the lyrics. I had never heard most of the songs, and when I heard them, I liked them a lot. Even if you haven't heard any Beatles songs, this is still the CD for you. Buy this CD!!1. Love Me Do-8/10 2.

Classic desert island review,
By
This review is from: Past Masters: Volume One (Audio CD)
This features rare Beatles classics, mostly pre 1965. I remember this was released in the UK and called Rarities, because most of the songs are not on any other Beatles albums, and were either B sides or EP tracks.This is early Beatles at their rocking best. Almost all these songs are uptempo, with the exception of Yes It is and This Boy which are slower and feature excellent harmonies. I can listen to this album without even thinking about pressing the skip button. There are too many highlights on this album to number, but here goes: 1. Paul McCartney doing his Little Richard impersonation on Long Tall Sally. 2. The German versions of She Loves You and I want to hold your hand. 3. Lennon and the beautiful 12/8 rhythm on This Boy. 4. Lennon on I Call Your Name 5. McCartney singin She's A Woman. 6. The cover version of Bad Boy 7. The Little Richard style screamer I'm Down 8. Those B side rockers Thank you girl, I'll get You 9. From Me To You. If I couldn't take the White Album to a desert island this would be a good second choice.
