The Beatles are definitely not a “greatest hits” kind of group. You can not get just the greatest hits CD and be done with the most influential band ever. In actuality, strongly believe the majority of their greatest tunes were not their top hits but actually were their more adventurous songs such as “Tomorrow Never Knows.”
To really understand The Beatles incredible music you have to listen to their albums completely rather than simply hearing a song here and a song there. I believe that they recorded many of the greatest albums of all time and even their not so fantastic albums (such as Beatles for Sale) have quite a few really great tracks.
That’s why I believe it’s such a marvelous idea to Buy The Remastered Beatles Stereo Box Set. The stereo box set contains every single album (and every single with the Past Masters double CD set) that The Beatles recorded and released during the 60s.
In other words it contains pretty much all of their officially released recordings except for Live at the BBC CDs and the three Anthology sets. I think this makes sense because those releases really are not a part of the band’s “official catalog”. These extras are sort of like the “extra features” on a DVD rather than the feature film.
There are actually some more of their officially released recordings that aren’t included in the box set, for example there’s 1999 release of a CD titled Yellow Submarine Songtrack that is completely different from the original Yellow Submarine LP. It’s actually much better in my opinion and definitely worth checking out because of it’s alternate mixes (it’s actually remixed, not just remastered.) Love and Let It Be… Naked are also not included.
Along with The Beatles Stereo Box Set, I also recommend that you Buy The Beatles Mono Box Set which contains the the mono versions of their songs up through 1968. It’s difficult to understand in the context of today, but when John, Paul, George, & Ringo were recording they thought the mono version to be of far more importance than the stereo mixes up until their last two albums were were recorded only in stereo.
