Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One have released this single-disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though obviously superfluous to the faithful (who may also find themselves quibbling over the precise definition of "No. 1 hit" and the exclusion of seeming contenders like "Please Please Me" and "Strawberry Fields"), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades star cluster and other neophytes will find it a concise and generous (nearly 80 minutes) single-disc introduction to the band's career-spanning, unparalleled dominance of pop music in the 1960s. But beyond being a mere trophy case of commercial success (and it won't be hard to find critics who'll argue that these singles aren't even the band's best work), it's also a Cliff's Notes take on a remarkable seven-year run of musical evolution, one that stretches from the neo-skiffle of "Love Me Do" through a remarkable synthesis of R&B, rockabilly, Tin Pan Alley, gospel, country, and classical that still defies efforts to effectively deconstruct it. This is the pop monument equivalent of the '27 Yankees and '90s Bulls; it's every bit as obvious and dominating--and just as essential. --Jerry McCulley

 Just #1s. That's it. August 20, 2008
Camilo Rueda Lopez (San Sebastian de Los Reyes, MADRID Spain)
Appart from a couple 4-star cuts, this record is just amazing. It has all The Beatles' singles that went up to #1, in US and UK charts, arranged chronologically.
You may like it more or less, but you can't deny all the songs here defined the whole sound of contemporary pop/rock music, even till today, no matter how hard the critics are.
It may still lack a few other excellent songs from the band deserving to be on a greatest hits collection, but you may still try to get them sepparately by looking for the career albums.
These are just #1s. Not more. No less.
"The Beatles:1" is Number One! August 13, 2008
I am (Upstate New York)
For all of you who think that this cd is just already available songs put together, i agree with some others about the purpose. this is a digitally remastered cd of all the beatles number one hits. I'm 13 and i used to listen to the old, unremastered beatles and all of my friends were like "why are u listening to all that oldies stuff. now they're actually asking me who is singing it, cause they want to download them! i love this cd and i hope that whatever genius buys it next enjoys it too!!
P.S... Who else is celebrating that the guy who killed john lennon 28 years ago was denied paroll the other day??

This is a wonderful collection of twenty-seven of The Beatles most popular songs all of which reached number one in both the UK and the USA. Spanning the years 1962 (LOVE ME DO) to 1970 THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD this is a great album to introduce younger music lovers to THE BEATLES music as well as to ignite the memories of baby boomers. A short booklet with pictures of original record covers as well as the date each song was recorded and the dates that song was number one in the US and UK is included.
Number one for a reason July 14, 2008
K Smith (Ft. Walton Beach, FL USA)
What else can you say about the greatest pop band in history to date? This album showcases all the bands "number 1 hits". All the tracks are remastered, and there are enough of them on the disc to keep the new or old Beatles fan singing for quite some time. Yes, all these songs are available on some other album, but this disc reveals to you in chronological order how the Beatles tunes could change and the listeners changed with them. From the poppy love songs of the beginning, to the trippy songs in the middle, and back out the other side with the mature songs of the later years. All in all a great summation of the Beatles amazing talent. If you're an old Beatles fan who wants to hear them again, or a newbie who's just getting started, this album is a great compilation in my opinion.

Purists have and will continue to argue this particular release into the ground with a host of complaints that range from "The audio mix is bad!" to "Lady Madonna was never number one on the charts!" But while it may come as deep shock to them, not every one approaches The Beatles as if they were holy relics, not everyone considers them "essential," and not every one feels it necessary to purchase every album the band made.
Quite obviously I tend to fall into this category. I like quite a few of The Beatles' recordings, but they never spoke me in a gotta-have-it way, and although I like "Come Together" I'm not going to buy ABBEY ROAD in order to obtain it. But while this compilation doesn't include every one of my favorites, it does include enough of them to make me willing to put a few of my hard-earned dollars on the table.
It is true that #1 is open to "number one according to who?" arguments, but even so the collection does gather twenty-seven of the band's best known and most popular releases--and also offers a fairly good overview of their style as they moved from mop-top-pop to psychedelia with plenty of innovation and serious musicianship along the way. It may be true that some of the songs sound better in original monoaural; it may be true that every selection could stand a meticulous remastering--but I personally had no complaints about sound quality.
This is really a recording for two classes of listeners: novices who know little about the band and would like to test the waters and old hands who like certain songs but don't like them well enough to go to the expense of replacing scratched up albums with CDs. You'll still have to do that if you want the likes of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," "Strawberry Fields Forever," and "Octopus Garden"--but this collection really does hit most of the obvious notes.
