There is not much for me to say about this CD, The Beatles Past Masters Volume Two. I was missing this CD in my 1987/1988 Beatles CD collection. I actually prefer this collection over the 2009 stereo CD collection; one that I also happen to own. I am happy with my purchase.

By 1988, Parlophone, Apple, EMI and Capitol decided that the time was right to start issuing the Beatles' original British-configured albums onto the CD format, plus the American "Magical Mystery Tour" album. For the first time, you could hear the fab four anyplace a CD player could be located. With 33 recordings not included, it was a wise decision to pan these songs out to 2 CDs. This second disc, "Past Masters Volume Two", features the later 15 songs released from 1965 to 1970. The opening songs, "Day Tripper" and "We Can Work It Out" were issued as a single in December 1965, at the same time as "Rubber Soul", though these 2 songs did not appear on that album. Next up are "Paperback Writer" and "Rain", issued as a single in 1966 around the same time as "Revolver". Likewise, these 2 songs were not on that album, either. The first single from 1968, "Lady Madonna" and "The Inner Light", was also the group's last single on the Parlophone and Capitol labels. The Beatles' first single on their new Apple label was "Hey Jude" and "Revolution", released in August 1968. They also released the single of "Get Back" and "Don't Let Me Down" in early 1969. This was followed by "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" and "Old Brown Shoe", from later in 1969. The version of "Across The Universe" included here is the same recording from the charity benefit album "No One's Gonna Change Our World", later to be released in the "Rarities" albums. The single version of "Let It Be" was released in early 1970 with "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" as its B-side. Together, these 15 songs paint a unique portrait of The Beatles' later years. A great CD, including 8 number one hits!Read full review
What else can be said. It's the album that brought back my teenage years also the pain of their breakup. Who doesn't know all the words to all the songs no matter how old you are. I'm 62 and my 14 year old nephew has a copy and knows all the songs too. IT'S THE BEATLES!!!!!!!! if you don't have it. BUY IT
