Superb collection of songs. I would recommend this and 1967-1970 to anyone new to The Beatles.

i luv the beatles. they're #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was my first Beatles album! It's still one of my favorites. Almost all songs are classics and masterpieces. You should have Red and Blue albums instead for example Beatles 1.
