Originally a two Ep release, was repackaged in America to include the recent singles and B sides. This has probably a higher quality collection of songs than on Sgt Pepper with the Beatles at their peak of psychedelia. Recommended
A classic CD version of a LP record. Never seems to age. This is music that has and will continue to stand the test of time. Although some prefer vynal the advantages of CD do it for me. Easier to store. Easier to load onto windows media. easier to use. loer risk of damage.
Considered by Beatle's purists to be a bit of a mistake, this mish mash of songs still helps define why the Beatles were the greatest band of all time. Diverse, witty and beautiful the songs collide into one another in a seeming jumble. The film to which this is the soundtrack is awful, but don't let that put you off. Any album with "Penny Lane" and "I am the Walrus" on it has to be good. With "Your Mother Should Know" hidden in the middle and ending with the greatest pop anthem ever - "All You Need Is Love" - don't listen to the purists who tell you that this is a greatest hits collection and not, as such, a Beatles' "album." Whatever it is, you should have this in your collection.
The Beatles are perhaps the greatest popular musicians of all time, and when you listen to this album you will understand why. Not their best album, but still plenty of incredible songs on here - that will never go out of date. Incredible Stuff. Guaranteed something for everyone. Everything from the Sleeve to the music is Legendary - Plus in HMV/Virgin these beatles albums are always around 12-15 so grab yourself a bargain.
Christmas present for my wife to complete her Beatles collection. Like it because it contains some songs she does not have copies of. Bought because it was the CD she did not have.
This is a classic album. I own the Sgt Peppers CD and decided to buy Magical as the music from the Beatles at that time was inovative, so again on ebay I went!
I BOUGHT THE CD AS IT WAS AND STILL IS A FANTASTIC CD,I OWNED TWO OFF THE ORIGINAL EXTENDED PLAY,S ON RECORD BUT OVER THE YEARS I LOST OR SWAPPED THEM, PLUS THE PRICE WAS GOOD AND THE CD WAS IN TIP TOP CONDITION,AND IT BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES FROM YEAR,S GONE BY.
