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 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.
It feels good to find 'gems' all these years later, and hear something new from something old. I love love love the anthology version of Norwegian Wood.
I like that one too. And if you're a fan of giggly!Paul, there's "Rocky Racoon," "And Your Bird Can Sing," and "Teddy Boy."
I forgot to add Love from Cirque du Soleil as a suggestion. Not necessarily essential, but I love the way the music was reconceptualized. And it has George's acoustic "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," which alone makes it worth the price. Edit: Never mind, that version's on Anthology 3 anyway.
A case can be made for Let It Be Naked, but... eh.
