Though obviously superfluous to the faithful (who may also find themselves quibbling over the precise definition of \"No. 1 hit\" and the exclusion of seeming contenders like \"Please Please Me\" and \"Strawberry Fields\"), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades star cluster and other neophytes will find it a concise and generous (nearly 80 minutes) single-disc introduction to the band's career-spanning, unparalleled dominance of pop music in the 1960s. But beyond being a mere trophy case of commercial success (and it won't be hard to find critics who'll argue that these singles aren't even the band's best work), it's also a Cliff's Notes take on a remarkable seven-year run of musical evolution, one that stretches from the neo-skiffle of \"Love Me Do\" through a remarkable synthesis of R\u0026amp;B, rockabilly, Tin Pan Alley, gospel, country, and classical that still defies efforts to effectively deconstruct it. This is the pop monument equivalent of the '27 Yankees and '90s Bulls; it's every bit as obvious and dominating--and just as essential. --Jerry McCulley","brand":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47766309175459,"sku":"724352932528-audio-cd","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/6831\/6835\/files\/61rUBHuW4IL.jpg?v=1781210857","url":"https:\/\/kicksmixbooks.store\/products\/the-beatles-1","provider":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
