THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
THE BEATLES...1 (2000)
(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)

They are all here...The biggies!! I'm talking about all those songs we know by heart. In 2000 Apple combined all the US and UK number 1 hits and put them on this incredible CD. It is amazing how much music (and successful music at that) that The Beatles released from 1962-1970. Enjoy
