All Beatles’ yesterdays
A BEATLES retrospective set of albums is being planned by EMI, and release is scheduled for the end of April.
“It’s likely to be two sets of double albums, the tracks are currently being compiled,” EMI told the MM this week. “It will be from ‘Love Me Do’ onwards, but we are not sure yet whether to stop at the music from ‘Let It Be’ or include some of the solo material.”
Ten years ago this week the Beatles had their first number one in the MM charts with “Please Please Me.”
Beatles biggies
TWO BEATLES compilation double albums are to be released by EMI at the end of this month.
A total of 54 tracks have been put together with the collaboration of the Beatles’ themselves and they will sell at £3.99 each.
Each album will simply be called “The Beatles.” The first will contain music from 1962-66, and the second from 1967-70. No solo Beatles tracks are included.
Tracks are: Volume 1 side 1: “Love Me Do,” “ Please, Please Me,” “From Me To You,” “She Loves You,” “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “All My Loving,” “Can’t Buy Me Love”; side 2: “Hard Day’s Night,” “And I Love Her,” “Eight Days A Week,” “I Feel Fine,” “Ticket To Ride,” “Yesterday”; side 3: “Help,” “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away,” “We Can Work It Out,” “Day Tripper,” “Drive My Car,” “Norwegian Wood ”; side 4: “Nowhere Man,” “Michelle,” “In My Life,” ” Girl,” “Paperback Writer,” “Eleanor Rigby,” “Yellow Submarine.” Volume 2, side 1: “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “ Penny Lane,” “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,” “Day In The Life,” “All You Need Is Love ”; side 2: “I Am The Walrus,” “Hello Goodbye,” “Fool On The Hill,” “Magical Mystery Tour,” “Lady Madonna,” “Hey Jude,” “ Revolution”; side 3: “Back in the USSR,“ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “ Obla-Di-Obla Da,” “Get Back,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Ballad Of John and Yoko,” “Old Brown Shoe”; side 4: “Here Comes The Sun,” “Come Together,” “Something,” “Octopus’ Garden,” “Let It Be,” “Across The Universe” – and “Long And Winding Road.”
