Past Masters, Volume One (1988) |
Past Masters, Volume Two (1988) |
Past Masters, Volume One is a compilation album by The Beatles released in 1988. It contains 18 recordings originally released between 1962 and 1965:
- 13 tracks from Beatles singles (including some B-sides),
- 4 tracks from their Long Tall Sally EP, and
- a US album track, "Bad Boy".
When The Beatles albums were first released on compact disc, this collection (and a second collection entitled Past Masters, Volume Two) were put together so that The Beatles' entire catalogue of released work would be available on CD. None of these songs (in the versions included on this album) are found on any of The Beatles' original non-compilation albums released in the UK up to 1970.
This album was also released as a double LP set combined with Volume Two.
