Product Description

From Amazon.com

The most anticipated of the Anthology series, this disc covers what was arguably the Fab Four's most intensely creative period ('65-'67) when they single-handedly changed the course of popular music. Anthology 2 doesn't disappoint. Outtakes and demos show the building of songs like "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite," while the pure pop song writing of Rubber Soul and Help! is also documented, along with the sonic experimentation that characterized Revolver. Even if the legendary proto-metal jam of "What's the New Mary Jane" didn't see the light of day here, there is plenty for any Beatles fan. --Chris Nickson


Chronique amazon.fr

Album le plus attendu de la série Anthology, ce CD couvre ce que certains considèrent comme la période la plus créative des Fab Four (65-67) lorsqu'ils changèrent d'un seul coup le cours de l'histoire de la musique populaire. Anthology 2 ne déçoit pas. Des chutes et des démos montrent la construction de chansons comme "Strawberry Fields Forever" et "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite" et illustrent la pureté de l'écriture pop de Rubber Soul et de Help !. On retrouve aussi des expérimentations sonores sur Revolver. Même si la jam proto-métal légendaire de "What's The New Mary Jane" ne voit pas le jour ici, il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour tout fan des Beatles. --Chris NicksonCes titres dévoilent une formidable histoire humaine accompagnée d'une des définitions les plus pures de la synergie en culture populaire. Rolling Stone (4/4/96).

Le meilleur documentaire jamais réalisé sur la musique pop...

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice collector's piece for die hards, Jul 4 2002
The attraction to the Anthology Collection is the use of alternative takes of old Beatles standards. While I have heard "Strawberry Fields" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" countless times, these alternate takes are interesting because they make you listen carefully for any differences. The new song, "Real Love" has a serene feel that makes one wish they were still releasing albums to this day. On another note, however, the record doesn't bring much more than the same material we've all heard numerous times back to life, only in an incomplete form. I think highly of this record because I am a die hard Beatles enthusiast. But I only listened to it a few times because I was interested in how these takes differed from the ones placed on the U.K. official releases. "Anthology 2" is a nice collector's item for Beatleheads, but those interested in their hits should look into picking up "1" or even one of their classic U.K. releases such as "Revolver" or "Rubber Soul" first. If you want to hear "Free as a Bird," download it off the web.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Genius, Jul 1 2004
By Julie A Ross (Pleasant Hill, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The seven live tracks on disc 1 of this compilation are evidence that Beatlemania is not long for the world. In fact, the closing tracks on disc 1 are songs recorded live at the Budokan Hall in Japan. Two months later the Beatles were through touring. Now they could continue to develop their music even further. Here for the first time, listeners can enjoy totally new versions of songs recorded in 1965 and '66, at the height of creative minds. The emerging creative genius would soon create such powerful works as "Sgt. Pepper" and "Magical Mystery Tour." Disc 2 is full of ultra rare outtakes from that period. Buy this set, and enjoy the early versions of what would become some of the Beatles' most memorable songs...and a little humor on the side.

4.0 out of 5 stars great compilation!, Jan 9 2004
By A Customer
"Anthology 2" is a fine double-cd album. It simply showcases the Beatles' remarkable progression in their musical style, from the simple-structured "Yes It Is" to the complex and trance-inducing "Tomorrow Never Knows" (which is slower but still great as the mastered version!) and the majestic "A Day In The Life". The track selections are good, the sleevenotes are very informative, and most importantly the sound quality is excellent.

It's good to know how the Beatles recorded their famous songs with such creativity, inventiveness and not to mention some sense of humor as well. Listening to this album feels like we're personally "witnessing" and hearing the band's jam sessions inside the studio, or "watching" their concerts.

Overall, it's a very decent album. Definitely a must for die-hard Beatlemaniacs.
