Anyone have the first volume?

I do. I was able to find it used ultra cheap. I think it should be a part of every Beatle fan's collection. It's just a joyous collection of recordings. I'm going to make a CD for the car, that's how much I love it.

That said, now that I've seen the tracklisting for Vol. 2, with hardly any "new" songs, I'm not excited enough to plunk down the money any time soon.

I'm interested in expanding my collection of Beatles music, but it's difficult for me to pick and choose what to spend my money.

I feel like if you have the albums with the Past Masters, BBC Vol. 1 and Anthology, you have a pretty well-rounded Beatles collection. Everything else, like the Decca recordings, feels to me like completist-only stuff that you can probably just listen to on YouTube.

Okay, that helps quite a bit. I have some of the vinyl albums, and music downloaded off of the internet. At one point I had all of the major record releases, and the past masters. I was considering getting the Anthology stuff because every once in awhile it pops up on my Pandora Beatles station. There are a few songs that I heard that I liked more than the official release.

I do. And I love it.

Cool. Thanks!

I have the first one and was only sorry I didn't buy it earlier. Great quality, and many of the songs are to DIE for. Especially if you're an early Beatles fan.

You know I love their early stuff so this might be a buy for me!

[mollybeakers]

Yep. It's GOLD. I have my definite favorites, but never get tired of fan freaking over it. I'd be very interested to know what you think of it.

Is volume one available on YouTube?

I listened to the first volume on YouTube the other day. They had such a great energy in those early days. It's a very enjoyable listen.
