What can you say, really? When you get right down to it, it's the greatest band in the history of pop music, the most influential, the best writers, and whatever other superlatives you can think of. Given their phenomenal output, and their huge chart success, it's no surprise that this second volume proves every bit as rich as the first. John, Paul, George, and Ringo had that rare chemistry that moved musical mountains, with more great songs than many people have had hot dinners, and they're still affecting the course of popular music. Thirty years later, all the paths they hinted at have yet to be explored, which is about as high a testament as can be given. --Chris Nickson

5 Star!! November 30, 2008
Bob (Yellow Springs,Ohio)
My mom had this cd but she lost it.I bought "Past Masters-Vol.2",my favorite songs are "Day Tripper","We Can Work It Out","Paperback Writer" and "Hey Jude".Before I was born my mom went to see The Beatles perform at Will Call coliseum in Cincinnati.This cd is a must keep for a true Beatles fan.
New mixes are EXCELLENT November 10, 2008
Timothy D. Shoppa (Bethesda, MD USA)
Others here have railed against the stereo mixes on the CD, as compared to the mono releases done originally.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the original mono releases.
But the stereo mixes on this CD are very worthwhile and in every case improve the listenability and punch. Also, glitches that appeared in the original mixes have been either highly glossed over or are completely absent on the CD.
Lady Madonna is the shining example of a superior-in-stereo mix. In the original mono mix, the piano, bass, and guitar all come out just fine. But what George Martin has done in the remix on this CD is stunning in its simplicity and directness - the piano intro starts off in one channel, and then the bass kicks in in the other channel, and the result is powerful, really emphasizing the funk that was there all along but somehow never came through in the mono mix. It's using the same simple mixing techniques that many original Beatles albums had, but to remarkable effect.
Classic Beatles October 12, 2008
P. M. De Surra (L.A.)
Great collection of songs that I'm so glad have place to call home on a "real" Beatles album. For those of you who don't know what the Past Master's series are, they are all the songs that The Beatles produced that were only released on singles, not on an album. And this is of course referring to the albums released in the UK (the only ones that really matter). So many great songs. I love it and i was super excited i didn't have to get every single lame American version albums to get own every Beatles song recorded.
Better than expected August 29, 2008
J. Callaghan (Richmond, CA)
The product arrived quicker than was promised and was overall better than expected. You'd be crazy not to buy from this seller!
Pure Magic!!!! July 31, 2008
