Although they were probably the band that most transformed rock from a singles medium to an album-oriented form, the Beatles also released many singles and EP tracks that never made it onto albums. In the U.S., Capitol turned the group's early LPs, through Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, into compilations, more or less, throwing the hit singles onto the vinyl to augment the album tracks. When the label later released the U.K. albums on CD, it posed a problem: What to do with the non-LP singles? Past Masters, Volume 1 compiles 18 of those singles, including some of their best-known tracks, running from "Love Me Do," "She Love You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and "This Boy" to "I Feel Fine" and Paul's homage to Little Richard, "I'm Down." Essential stuff. --Bill Holdship

Fab - ulous!!!.......2007-05-15

Great collection. If you love the Fab Four as I do, buy this disc.

A must have!.......2007-02-21

It brings back so many memories! It is great to have all of these songs in one collection. I recommend it to any Beatle lover.

Like the 2nd, an essential.......2007-02-09

Some of the Beatles' best cuts were regulated to non-LP b-sides (or at least are now ever since the US albums were dropped from the market in favor of the UK ones), and the best of those (other than Rain and Revolution, found on Volume 2) can be found here: This Boy is a superb, R&B-laced original; She's a Woman, a brilliant rockabilly/Elvis throwback (later covered quite nicely by Jeff Beck); I'm Down is relentless rock 'n' roll. You also get a straight reissue of the Long Tall Sally EP: Long Tall Sally itself and I Call Your Name are two bare essentials, both charged-up, three-chord rock with Lennon's powerful vocals. The other two tracks from that EP (Slow Down, with an interesting guitar solo; Matchbox) are nothing special but coulda been worse. Then there are the classic #1's from the early days that didn't make it onto an LP: From Me to You; She Loves You; I Want to Hold Your Hand and I Feel Fine are presented in their original versions here, while Love Me Do is an alternate version with Ringo (rather than a session drummer) drumming, though it isn't much different than the original, that's no real reason to complain. Bad Boy is an awesome rocker (from the US-only Beatles VI, which doesn't exist on CD unless you shell out $60 for The Capitol Albums, Volume 2) that didn't deserve to disappear. The German-language versions of She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand may seem like padding, but they're fun and interesting, though certainly not perfect or the originals: the only song that doesn't do the job for me is Yes It Is, one of their weakest.
The only way to get several of these tracks other than buying this is through The Capitol Albums boxed sets. So if you don't feel like spending $60 or more, go here for some great rare Beatles!
Why don't the Rolling Stones or the Who have collections like these? Both bands recorded some quality single-only material that is now fairly hard to find, except through greatest-hits albums.

Fills in the void created when these singles were omitted from the original LPs.......2007-01-21

It's well-known that The Beatles ruled the charts for the majority of the 60s and the record company knew the value of their prizes when they released songs as singles (never putting them on LPs), split albums into EPs and releasing different versions of the same album (as was the case with "Revolver," and the beginning of the song "Help!" among many examples).

The two "Past Masters" CDs, to me, fill the void one might feel was created by the omission of the singles from the LPs. The fact that singles such as "Love Me Do," "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," and "She Loves You" were omitted from LPs in the first place seems a bit weird to me - someone born after The Beatles long split up (at least on paper, anyway).

But just thinking about John and Paul cranking out more timeless and poignant songs (separately and together) as opposed to insisting the singles be put on the albums attests to the fact that they are the greatest songwriters of the modern era of music.

Both "Past Masters" are essentials to a Beatles collection. - Donna Di Giacomo

There are better and more interesting samplings.......2006-12-09

These tracks appear to be the A and B sides of 45 rpm and some 33 1/3 rpm LP records that I have tucked away in my closet. Volume One is a very good cross section of The Beatles hits early in their career, along with songs that are (were) rarely heard on the radio, particularly Matchbox (sung by Ringo) which was originally recorded by Carl Perkins, a country rock-a-billy or country rock artist. Yes It Is, is a soulful love song sung (and probably written) by John Lennon. Unique to The Beatles are their early appearances in a night club in Hamburg, Germany thus the two tracks sung in German. What you hear and hopefully enjoy while listening to this CD, is the energy, warmth, passion and diversity that John, George, Paul and Ringo put into each song. There are better, less well known, cuts that show a greater diversity of the Fab Four. But Volume One is a good place to start for a neophyte "The Beatles" fan.

The closest thing currently available to the Tempts' first Greatest Hits album, this CD actually provides partial redemption for the generally redundant Millennium Collection series. Sticking with one exception (the ambiguous drug song "Cloud Nine") to the group's '60s love songs, it's a quick reminder of what made them such a major part of radio-listening romancers' lives then and now. From the sweet "My Girl" and "The Way You Do the Things You Do" to the rough-edged, nearly paranoid "(I Know) I'm Losing You," these hits demonstrate the many ways Motown knew to say "I love you." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

good intro to the tempts if you're a new fan.......2006-09-14

If you're a new fan (like I was when I 1st bought this) then this is a good CD for you to purchase but if you're a die-hard fan don't buy it cuz most likely you already have all of these songs! I bought this CD a year ago & now I can't get enough of The Tempts!

Ripoff.......2006-05-26

Universal could, of course, have put both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 on the same disc (22 songs total). And music companies wonder why CD sales are down/illegal downloads are up. Universal isn't the only offender in the cheapskate sweepstakes, but it certainly leads the pack. Great artists, and great music, done in by greed. Very sad.

A Great Cd.......2006-01-02

This is a very good cd, I don't know why the other reviewers disagree. I think this is an awesome cd. the Temptations are the best at what they do. This cd has thier most famous songs on it Like. My Girl, Papa's got A Brand new Bag, Ain't To Proud To Beg(My Fav.) & Others. I recomend this cd to who ever is a true Temptation's Fan.

If you liked this cd Check out the whole Temptaions, Cd Collection.

Laughable.......2003-02-16

I am a (as another reviewer put it) "die-hard" temptations fan. Always have been. Infact, my latest thing going on is trying to get their rare 80's albums [Together Again, Special, To Be Continued, etc] on CD. It is truly amazing that you can find the songs available in this particular collection on countless "greatest hits" collections. Save your money and buy the Emperors of Soul Box Set. You won't be disappointed.

For casual listeners ONLY...........2003-01-05

...because if you love the Tempts like I do, you already own these songs on other so-called "greatest hits" CDs or the original albums. This MILLENNIUM COLLECTION is merely a sampling of the incredible music that the Temptations have made over the years...a series like this doesn't really serve a group of their magnitude very well. So-so to start out with if you have absolutely NO Tempts music or if you aren't really a fan of theirs and you want to know what all the hype surrounding them is about.

It's clear that Motown/Universal is once again doing what they do so well: repackaging the same old hits that everyone has already on other Tempts CDs with a shiny, new look, because they know that it is pretty much classic Motown music like this that is keeping the ghost of this once-great label from going under! I gave this CD three stars only because The Tempts are one of my favorite groups and I like the songs on it, but honestly, this is a waste. Do NOT buy this CD - spend your money on ANTHOLOGY or the original albums instead, where the work of this magificent group can be better represented and appreciated.

The seductive music of Don Williams has an insulated quality about it that makes it hard to resist. It's as if the world is swirling out of control around the Gentle Giant, yet he barely raises an eyebrow, blithely singing his soft, calming tunes. Give a Hot Country Star these songs, and their simple truths about love, faith, and country life would seem like platitudes. However, in the caress of Williams's warmhearted baritone, they come off as sincere, timeless nuggets of wisdom. With the barest of accompaniment, Williams took 10 of these 12 songs to the top of the country charts (while the remaining pair reached No. 2) in the '70s and '80s. Though he penned hits for many others, his own smashes usually came courtesy of writers such as Bob McDill and Wayland Holyfield, though Williams, a Texas native, clearly relates to their unpretentious, bucolic sentiments. Throughout, Williams gives good ol' boys back their good name and women back their dignity, and through the strength of his quiet determination, he makes such conventional concepts sound unfailingly hip. --Marc Greilsamer

Don Williams is a real voice master.......2007-01-11

l love the soothing, rich sound that Don Williams has. His voice is so mellow and I just find myself relaxing and forgetting the stress of the day frome the sound of his voice. I really think this is one great cd.

The Best of Don Williams Vol 1.......2006-07-04

This is a great CD and I recommend it to any Don Williams Fan. I received this item within 7 days of my order.

Don Williams The Gentle Giant.......2005-06-12

What a great album. I have this one and I can honestly say that I don't know which one is the best. But how can I say that anyone of Don's song aren't the best. Don has been a favorite of mine for along time. He has such a gentle voice and when you go to one of his concerts - OH MY!!! what a show. They are well worth attending and you will definitely fall in love with this gentle giant and that beautiful voice. I am never afraid to buy any of his albums or CD'S because I know that I will never be disappointed.

Warm Blanket of Country Sounds.......2003-08-15

What bad things can you say about Don Williams? Nothing comes to mind. His voice makes the simplistic, pure songs that he sings sound like nothing else. Mr. Williams' voice is like a warm blanket. If you feel bad, put on "Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good." Feeling a little reminiscent? Play "Good Ole Boys Like Me." There is not a bad song on this album, not one. From "I Believe In You" to "Tulsa Time" and finalized by "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend," this album has it all. I didn't give it five stars for the simple reason that I listen to other artists a little more than Mr. Williams. However, this album ranks as one of my all time favorites and I love listening to it.

Best of Don!.......2001-11-06

If you're a Don Williams fan, you certainly don't need a review to tell you about the songs on this CD. If you're not yet a fan, then this CD is a great place to start. This CD provides the basic "Don Collection", his older works. I don't believe anything on this work was recorded after about 1988...which is good news for you. I believe Don's best work is his oldest. He has a truly beautiful mellow, barritone voice that stands above any other you'll ever hear. Once you've enjoyed this CD, do yourself another favor and buy the oldest works of his you can find (Greatest Hits Vol. 1, or Listen to the Radio).

Album Description

Over 20 million Americans make yoga a regular part of their daily routine. Thousands of teachers throughout the US are introducing students from all walks of life to the clear-minded vitality and vigor that a regular yoga practice offers. For many, music plays a key role in this yogic experience.

SACRED MOVEMENT is the first in a series of music CDs sequenced specifically for yoga practice. Master yoga instructor Max Strom designed the program to "help lead people into their practice," and selected music that he uses in his Flow Yoga classes at Sacred Movement Yoga Center in Los Angeles.

Just like Max's yoga sessions, SACRED MOVEMENT begins with a diverse and energetic progression of songs from Hamza El Din, Prem Joshua, Thomas Barquee, Stellamara and others. As the yoga sequence winds down, tracks by B-Tribe, Bruce BecVar and dj Cheb i Sabbah create an ethereal ambience, leading the practitioner into a nurturing state of relaxation.

Max Strom believes that "yoga was designed to revolutionize our lives" spiritually as well as physically. SACRED MOVEMENT then is not just a "music for yoga" CD. It is a set of deep, reflective music especially selected by a master teacher to assist with this healthful transformation.

Walks the talk.......2004-10-12

I have been practicing flow yoga for many years, but I never found one cd that could take me from warm up through more vigorous poses and finally to a meditative finish until this one. Usually, I have to change cd's or cuts on a cd to fit the rhythm of my practice, but Max has found the perfect order of music selections to accompany my practice. His choice of musicians is inspired; they are all based in spiritual disciplines themselves. So their music reflects the inner spirit while bathing the body and mind in the glow of their magical sounds. This cd is seamless - from the "flow" of the tempos to the congruency of musician and music. I highly recommend this carefully choreographed anthology of celestial sounds of theology. Yoga means "to link up with the Divine," and the music on this cd does just that.

NONSTOP BRILLIANCE.......2003-10-02

The Coon-Sanders Nighthawks are one of those bands whose relative obscurity just doesn't make sense. Why they haven't remained an important chapter in early jazz is a mystery - and an unfair one at that. These arrangements are relentless, cutting edge stuff. The liner notes compare them to Ellington, which I figured, not having popped the disc in yet, was hyperbola, but no - these little tunes are brimming with novelty, subtlety, surprise and pure beauty, showcasing a band at the peak of their creative powers. The cream of the crop is Hallucinations, evidently so named because of its incredibly progressive, yet catchy structure.

I found Volume 1 considerably less interesting and would only recommend it to serious students of the era. But Volume 2 hits the ground running and only accelerates as the disc moves foreward. Buy this CD if you like early jazz OR dance orchestras from the late 20s aned early 30s. It'll blow your head off. And you'll wonder why no one else told you about it!

Loudest and funniest!.......2000-10-08

The Coon-Sanders Nighthawks captured the spirit of the Roaring 20s better than any other dance band. Their complete surviving recordings, give or take a few alternate "takes," have been reissued on four CDs on The Old Masters label. All four disks are excellent, but Volume Two is the best.

Covering the 1926-1928 period, this CD shows the band at the very top of its form. Eight of the 23 selections were composed by co-leader Joe Sanders, and more than half of the selections contain spirited "hot" vocals by Sanders and his partner Carleton Coon. Sanders wrote the band's arrangements.

This band played jazz, and played it with gusto and humor. Highlights include "Roodles," with a scat vocal by the two leaders, "Slue Foot," low-down and hot, and the remarkable "Louder and Funnier." The Nighthawks played pop standards such as "I Ain't Got Nobody" and "Wabash Blues" with the same verve that they gave to Sanders's original compositions.

If the Nighthawks weren't quite as hot as the great black orchestras of the era, they do not suffer by comparison either. Compare their version of "Deep Henderson" with King Oliver's, and their version of "Blazin'" (a Sanders original) with Fletcher Henderson's. The Coon-Sanders band holds its own against the competition.

Without a doubt the hottest white band from the 20's.......2000-10-05

The Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawks Orchestra was the hottest white dance band around in the 1920's, and they could hold their own against Bennie Moten, Fletcher Henderson, and even McKinney's Cotton Pickers. Both leaders(Coon & Sanders) sing and I don't mean those sappy songs, they sing hot(no dull vocal refrains here). highlights of this exellent disc are I Aint Got Nobody, Hallucinations, and Deep Henderson. Wonderful CD, all; four volumes are recommended, however Vols. 1 & 2 are most essential.

the dude who wrote the review under this is buggin'.......2007-05-23

on the real, this compilation is super dope. if you want to get into nicolay, then yes, buy The Foreign Exchange's Connected. to say that nicolay doesn't have real MC's on his beats is atrocious. Nicolay rounded up some serious talent for his music. Von Pea is on there (1/3 of Tanya Morgan and featured on Connected and several Little Brother mixtapes), Ilwil (other 2/3 of Tanya Morgan), Supastition, Living Legends, Little Brother, Common, Thyrday, and many more... if don't like any one of the MC's on this album, then undergrond/indie hip-hop ain't for you

Depends on what you like..........2006-09-12

I'm a HUGE Nicolay fan, but I like people with actual skills rhymin' over his beats, such as Little Brother. Don't get me wrong, alotta these cats have skills on this album (LB,Supastition,Living Legends,Common), I even liked Von Pea's joint on here. Overall though, if you don't have Foreign Exchange-Connected....PLEASE BUY THAT FIRST. You should hear an ALBUM by Nicolay with a real emcee (Phonte) before you buy this one. I'd hate for you to cop this album and say it was ...ok, and not have heard Connected...I think you'd get a better picture of this guy's prowess with the beats. My favorite joint on here hands down is the remix of "All That You Are"...one of my favorite songs from Connected. Overall, you should get this album if you already own Connected, if not....GET CONNECTED FIRST.

Good chilled interesting beats.......2006-07-20

I've just discovered Nicolay after looking for a Jill Scott tune and finding the golden remix he did (not on this album). You know how sometimes you start listening to a tune, think its good but then realise the sampling is repeated with no change and it gets boring. Well, Nicolay changes the melodies very slightly and gradually in a smooth chilled way which keeps the tune interesting and stimulating. Undergound smooth beats from superb artists like Big brother and a magical slowed down version of "come close" at the end. Its superb. Wasn't a big fan of remixes till I discovered this guy. Its good stuff.

Nicolay's soul symphony..........2006-02-28

Nicolay of The Foreign Exchange is one of my favorite producers of today. He has the blend of the old school flavor with the new soul (not neo-soul because I hate that label,) and it still comes off hard with a true hip hop lyricist. This guy is a genius on the boards and has laced up some of the best underground artists around with this mixtape. Down with the JL, Nicolay will always have a home here in the states. Waiting on volume 2, and I look forward to seeing what this cat will do next (maybe a full album project with Supastition? Who knows... let's wait and see)

Good purchase for fans of Foreign Exchange.......2005-10-09

This is a very solid cd. There is not a single bad track on the entire disc. The whole disc has a laid back vibe very similar to Foreign Exchange. If there are any problems at all, Im not sure I hear a track that rivals "Raw Life" in terms of its power to draw people in. Still Exchange fans who grew to love Connected beyond its most accessible track will really enjoy Dutch Masters. Its a very solid mix to pop into a player and listen to the whole way through. It really gives you a sense of Nicolay's sound and how he applies it beyond Phonte. On this cd we get to hear Common, Supastition, Bilal, Thyrday, and many others in addition to Little Brother. Frankly so far I enjoy it more than the Minstral Show which was a bit of a surprise to me. Its full of remixes but still filled with originality and considering the obscurity of some of the tracks they'll likely be new to most anyways. Nicolay seems destined to join a short list of really interesting producers of hiphop music.

THE GENIUS OF THE MAN.......2000-07-30

even though this is hardly a true reprensentation of the Genius of Marvin Gaye His One Disc of Hits is way Better than Most Artists 3 or 4.The Man was COnstantly Getting Better.Very Original with a Capitol O.His Voice,Words,Music&Feelings forever Changed The Way People Heard&Listened To Music.He was A True INNOVATOR.This is a Good Start but once you get into his Depth&Range you Simply Can't Stop.

****1/2.......2003-12-07

While more horn-driven and less raw and guitar reliant than other forms of blues, the urban style nonetheless provides its own spectacular highlights, some of the best of which are right here:
Guitar Slim's "The Things That I Used To Do" is a must-have for any uptown blues compilation, and T-Bone Walker's "T-Bone Blues", Big Joe Turner's "Chains Of Love", "Laudromat Blues" by Albert King, and Bobby Bland's "Farther up the Road" are prime examples as well. Otis Rush's classic "I Can't Quit You Baby" is more Chicago blues than urban blues, actually, but it is a welcome addition nonetheless.

They could have done better by "Every Day I Have The Blues", which should have been included in Memphis Slim's stately original rendition, and why isn't B.B. King represented?
But those are minor complaints, really. This is a fine place to go for a sampler (you should get "Blues Masters volume 2" as well for a taste of the rough, tough Chicago blues), and even though it's far from being definitive, it will provide the newcomer with an excellent introduction.
