Story & Background
"The Beatles Past Masters Volumes one & two", released in 1988 as part of the historic transition of The Beatles' discography to CD format, represents a fundamental edition and an anecdote in itself within their saga. It was conceived to remedy a crucial gap: while the canonical albums were being reissued on CD according to their original British configurations, a multitude of epoch-making singles, B-sides, and EP tracks, never included on the studio LPs, risked remaining outside the digital catalogue. Iconic songs such as "She Loves You", "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "Hey Jude", and "Revolution" were masterpieces in their own right that had dominated the charts but did not feature on the traditional albums. Past Masters meticulously compiled these "master del passato", ensuring that every official track by the Fab Four was finally available in a complete and coherent format for the new compact disc era, making this 1988 pressing an indispensable pillar for every collector.
