First released: 1977
The companion album to The Beatles' "Rock 'n' Roll Music" double-set from the previous year. It sold surprisingly light and no wonder as it was released in the days of punk and disco, it didn't have a chance. Also, "heavier" love songs like "All You Need is Love" were inexplicably left off, with too many songs like "And I Love Her" and "If I Fell" and "Yesterday" left behind, which are fine in small doses, but in a two-disc set like this, it reinforces the myth that The Beatles were wimpy. It's also heavily weighted on the earlier years. There are better compilations.
