[@Mike-pz6hz]

I was a pre-teen when this came out. Like my peers, I was listening Britney, Christina, Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. I enjoyed the music of that time, as it was ear candy, and still do for nostalgic reasons. I detested listening to my parents' music. I thought it was for old people. I was supposed to sing at a school recital performing Beatles songs but I refused to go, because I thought the music was stupid. When "1" came out, there were endless commercials on TV for it, and I started hating them even more. Then, while on vacation, I was at a record store and saw the CD. I remember thinking, "What the hell, the music's stuck in my head from the commercials anyway, whether I like it or not. I guess I'll give in." I fell in love with the group, and even as my musical taste has broadened (largely thanks to The Beatles), now at 31 years old, they're still my favorite band.

Nothing wrong with listening to all different styles of music ... even pop! Great personal comment, I appreciate you taking the time to write it.

[@davidcooper9952]

My son is 28. Year's ago when we had a party in the late 90's I asked him what music we should play? He replied, "you can't go wrong with the Beatles!" I never forgot that. I guess I raised him right.

[@Bruce15485]

That's a great story and quite often true for many of us. I am a huge Beatles fan, however, would not listen to music earlier than the Beatles. One day I noticed the Beatles recorded Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry music. I decided to check these artists music out. I was surprised how good these artist were ! Buddy Holly is amazing and I can understand why the Beatles were such big fans. Paul McCartney owns the publishing rights ! Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins are absolute legends and wrote some the best "rock" songs of all time. Without carrying on any further, 'good music is always there, its just up to you to be open to look for it' !

In 1978 I was 12 years old when I was forced to spend the summer with my estranged father in California. He, his new wife and my siblings-in-law completely ignored me during my stay. At 12, with no money, no mobility and no way out, for the first time in my life I began to suffer from a deep depression. About a month in to that miserable summer, I was left alone one weekend to snoop around the house. And that's when I discovered the "Red" and "Blue" albums hiding in my step-brother's album rack. Having grown up in a small town where the only radio station signal we could get would endlessly play country music - I spent the entire weekend in The Den listening to - and re-listening to - the most amazing evolution in songwriting and music production ever created. Although I never saw my father again (and never really wanted to), discovering the Beatles' creative genius more than made up for everything.

[@HappyFlapps]

Oh yeah - And I discovered Queen as well that year!

I appreciate you sharing that story. I’m sure it was not easy dredging up that memory up. Thank you.

@Moist-Mike, you sound amazing & deep shame on your father, such behaviour is fundamentally wrong & unforgivable! I pretty much came to the Beatles through Red & Blue & never looked back! You nailed it in respect of musical evolution & George Marin himself described it as breathtaking! I hope you've gone from strength to strength, sustained by the wonderful sound track of those 4 lads! 👍

[@terrythekittieful]

I think it was Derek Taylor who wrote on the liner notes for 'Beatles For Sale' released in 1964 something along the lines of 'In the year 2000 the kids of that time will still be listening to the Beatles', very prophetic and he went out on a limb making a comment like that, a lot of people would have laughed at him. And in the early 70's (when I was just coming into my teens) I remember telling a school mate 'I will get all the Beatles albums eventually',..he replied 'no you won't' in a dismissive tone and he was right, I didn't,...no, only joking, I did buy all the vinyl from around '72 to '76,...and the 80's cds, kind of wish I hadn't if I knew they were going to remastered but it would have been a long wait.

This album holds a very, very special place in my heart. ❤️

My music teacher had a copy of 1 from it's 2009 remaster. When i was a Junior in high school about 2 years ago, her and i showed it to the 4th grade class at my school during their music period. And boy, were they amazed. Cover art, CD and all. One kid commented on how cool Ringo looked with the dove on his finger in his Avedon portrait. (Which if you could tell, is my KZbin profile pic.) Their favourites had to be Help, Day Tripper, We can work it out, and, rightfully so, Yellow Submarine. You couldn't believe the happiness i felt watching those kids enjoy it as much as they did. It made me look back to when i was first introduced to The Beatles back in 2003, which was actually 1 itself. I was only 3, and i was instantly hooked. The Beatles have been my favorite ever since. Thanks so much for the video!

She found this characteristic of the sound very weird. Also (true story), I was so glad when I got my Blu-ray that, when I played the first video (“Love Me Do”) and that simple, but amazing animation popped-up before it, I started crying like a baby... I love The Beatles and they are a huge part of my life and the lives of many people I know and love.

The next year (2020) the cd rack was gone, they replaced it with the 2nd toy section (who needs a 2nd toy section?), I enjoyed the "archived" videos & soundtrack, sometimes I brought the album with me, like I brought it to a hotel.

[@alexvokoun9272]

I would say this album and the Red and Blue albums is what got me really into The Beatles.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

This is a comment I’ve heard more than any other. For me, it was 20 Greatest Hits, followed by the red and blue albums. 😊

[@debessar95]

They should include Please Please Me and Strawberry Fields, both of them were #1 in charts at the time.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Can't win 'em all. The Red and Blue are still my go to, but this is a great single disk collection.

[@plugscranson]

This was the album that got me into them. They have been my favorite band since 2005.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Excellent!

[@LordStarscream-]

I introduced my friend to the Beatles using this album. I think it is a good starting point for most people. Also got the 1+ box set which I think is really worth the price of admission!

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Now that's the gift that keeps on giving'; what a pal! I agree, it's a good starting point, and also agree on the 1+ set being oh so worthwhile.

[@epictom3423]

1 was my first Beatles album, but at first I didn’t know it was a compilation album, and I actually was surprised because I thought that all of the bands most popular songs came from one album.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

What a studio album that would have been!

[@epictom3423]

That would’ve been legendary. But anyway, I really enjoyed your video, nice work.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Hey, thanks for the nice comment. I'll keep working on it and see if I can get better at these videos. I really enjoy making them, and it's nice to get some positive feedback. Heck, it's nice to get negative feedback, 'cause at least people are watching ... but I prefer the positive.

[@bullshirty]

So glad this appeared in my recommendation

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

That's very kind of you to say. I've been really trying to focus on what I can offer Beatles fans that's a bit unique, so I appreciate positive feedback. If you'll keep watching, I'll keep creating. :)

[@GekoPish]

Giles Martin made the The Beatles White Album sound ready for 2020 Love George Martins work, but Gile's honestly made it Future proof for another 100 years

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

That's quite an endorsement! i have been happy with Giles Martin's work as well, but I like that the original mixes are still available. No reason both can't live side by side.

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Love number 1. You can’t have a bad track. It’s a no brainer.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

It's great for having set out what it intended ... create a single disc compilation that existing fans would enjoy, while introducing new fans!

[@Karlvany]

Since the early 2000s, I imagined having a DVD with promotional films officially produced by the Beatles. With this in mind, I purchased the double bootleg "Chronology". But I only felt fulfilled, that's when I saw the launch of 1+. Finally, I had those videos, officially and with excellent quality. In other words: the audios remixed by Giles were in the background for me.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Yes, 1+ was all about that restored video that had been overlooked far too long!

[@farrellmcnulty909]

I had some video bootlegs on VHS, but I don't know if it was called Chronology - it was right after a weekend of Beatlefest and I wanted to keep Beatlefest alive after Monday.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

There's so much out there, it's hard to keep track. I try to stick to the official stuff.

[@farrellmcnulty909]

I basically ignored "1" when it came out because I was resentful the CD catalogue hadn't been remastered at that point, and needed it badly. Finally, after I'd scooped up the stereo and mono versions of the albums as well as the Past Master series, in 2009, I saw rumblings of #1 being reissued and sought out the 1+ version on DVD with 2 DVDs of videos as well as the original compilation album. Now, THAT's what I would call a compilation.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Absolutely! Thank goodness for 2009! As far as the 1 reissue, it certainly was very well done as 1+. The addition of all that video content was stellar!

[@MeanMrMustard1]

For someone who needs everything to be at its best, I'm surprised you didn't get the blu-ray of 1+.

[@jesserussell7242]

I remember listening to the Beatles one I have been a huge Beatles fan since I was 11 years old I think there was a cassette version of that which came out years back I listen to a compilation now I’m not there and I immediately fell in love with the Beatles I love listening to the Beatles one album on CD and vinyl I can’t wait to get the one in deluxe. I love everything that the Beatles have done not only do I love the Beatles White album but I also love the Beatles 1962 to 1966 and 1967 to 1970 I think those two albums are a great way for those who want to get into the Beatles I love the remixed stuff that Giles martin dead on the Beatles one album it is a really great.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I got into The Beatles around age 11 too. :)

[@AdamLB]

Great cd, I have the original cd (with the hype sticker), I'm going to get the original vinyl and the cd/dvd release one day.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Excellent. It is a nice collection of songs, for sure.

[@alic-c]

This was the first Beatles album I ever heard. It was my dad's old battered original CD that we put on the car CD player while we washed it. He let me choose a CD out of his collection and I chose the Beatles because although I was 8, I had heard of them and I knew they were the best band of all time and wanted to see what they were like.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

That's a solid memory! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@alic-c]

@@MagicalMysteryMike no problem! I've been binging some of your content for the last few days 😅

[@TheGameCenter]

No mention of the new mixes of Free as a Bird and Real Love on the 1+ Blu-ray?

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

No. While they are quite nice, I was more interested in presenting the format of the original release. All of the video content on 1+ is excellent. It was well overdue by the time it was released!

[@Vince_Tasciotti]

I have two copies of the vinyl version of 1. The first is from 2000 and the second came out in 2015. On CD I have the 2009 reissue and the 1+ CD/DVD box set. I may consider getting the 1+ CD/BluRay edition.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

1+ is worth having. It's a well put together package. Just be sure to look out for DVD or Blu-Ray. They look similar, so be sure you're getting the edition you'd like.

[@oldben8261]

Man, I'll never forget picking this up at 15. The second John's harmonica ripped through the speakers on "Love Me Do" it was all over. Sure, you grow up hearing Beatles songs almost subconsciously, it's like how everyone knows that Darth Vader is a certain someone's father. But that song and this album in a way were my first.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

You share an experience that we fans have all had at one point or another. Darth Vader in the 2020 version of the ending of Return of the Jedi : "Luke, help me put my mask back on. And I'll keep the gloves on too. In fact, just get me to my Bacta Tank filled with hand sanitizer."

[@The1uptriforce]

This album made me the fan I am today I always look back on that day and laugh at my naivety my dad received this for Christmas and I teased him for it not knowing who The Beatles are then just razzing him because he was old. One day feeling silly I decided to play the album while my dad was sleeping and giggle and make fun of it AGAIN not knowing who the The Beatles are at this point just making up a perception in my head of what they are as I honestly believe a lot of haters of The Beatles do. And the moment Love Me Do started and I heard them sing for the first time it was as if the music reached out of my speaker and caressed my heart. The CD soon became my own because I never stopped playing it I was eventually given my own copy for my birthday this album is a great start for people who want to understand why The Beatles are so great.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Great personal story; thanks for sharing it. Glad you were open minded enough to appreciate this music!

[@patrickjostmusiker]

That was in fact my introduction to The Beatles. I fell in love with it/them right away. I own a copy of basically all of them. 2000, 2009 und 2015 (the 1+ version). What impresses me the most is what can be done technically if you have the money to do it.. all of 1+ sounds and looks soo great and evertime I'm speechless that this material comes from the 60ties.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

It is pretty amazing. The studio recordings are so well done, and found so good for recordings that are 50+ years old.

[@2574mcu]

I have the Beatles 1 bluray box set and also the vinyl. Great sound quality on both.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

I know he's not universally praised, but I think Giles Martin and team have done a nice job on remixing.

[@2574mcu]

@@MagicalMysteryMike I agree with you. I like how he remixed Sgt. Peppers but not so much on The White album. He toned down the sound quality, he said he didn't want it too HI-FI. Abbey Road was a good sounding recording to begin with. I'm a fan of his work. I'm curious what he did with Let it be.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Absolutely. Really curious how Let It Be will be handled.

[@AgidyYelov]

Man, the Beatles' 20 Greatest Hits US Capitol version on cassette was the first album I ever bought. I played that tape everyday!

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

That exact release, on cassette, was the 2nd album I ever bought. I also played the heck out if it ... on a walkman! hahaha

[@AgidyYelov]

@@MagicalMysteryMike Awesome

[@thejimmydanly]

1 was my intro to the Beatles. I got it for Christmas from my dad when I was young and starting to get into classic rock. I dismissed it for about a year, The Beatles were a bit too pop in my mind. Plus, most of my friends were into metal or rap, it wouldn't be cool to listen to The Beatles. Then something changed. I was always into space, and NASA had this thing on their website celebrating their 50th anniversary. One of the things on the site was a music video featuring Across the Universe. It was then that I started to understand The Beatles. I got my copy of 1, took my Aerosmith compilation out of my CD player, and put in 1. I was mesmerized.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Really enjoying these comments. What do you mean that NASA had "this thing on their website?" You mean they had the 1 album displayed or playing? P.S. It's Ringo's birthday today, and he was wished a happy day from space. Pretty cool!

[@thejimmydanly]

@@MagicalMysteryMike They had this video on their website: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4rVeHV4aNCXg5o

[@thejimmydanly]

Across the universe isn't on 1 of course, but hearing that song in that context made me want to go back and listen to 1 with open ears and an open mind

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

That's great! Glad you found your way back in.

[@lra1095]

1+ had some unique stereo mixes of songs not on the CD, like Rain, Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day In The Life, and had Redux mix of Free as a Bird and Real Love had had some changes (like added/removed instrument layers, more of George's Guitar work, some addes Ringo drum fills, and 'turned out nice again' was not backwards) I had to screen capture in order to get MP3s of them.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

These are nice features of 1+. It was definitely a worthwhile repackage!

[@wewin_inonog]

Loved the first 2000 edition, then I heard the 2015 mixes and I went bonkers esp on what they did with Hey Jude! 😍😍😍

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Shame the whole catalogue wasn't remixed and released as a box set, like the 2009 remasters.

[@wewin_inonog]

@@MagicalMysteryMike yes. I would love to hear all of them remixed esp. RUBBER SOUL and REVOLVER!

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

From your keyboard to Apple's eyes!

[@Zholobov1]

There are three versions of this compilation: 2000, 2010 and 2015, each one differs from the others. The 2000 remasters of the original mixes, the 2009 remasters of the original mixes and the 2015 full remixes, made from scratch. I don't see any point of buying the second 2010 version, because there's nothing new as far as the 2009 remasters have been widely spread on the CDs of that era. But the first and the third versions are unique and worth buying.

[@chrischessman7464]

I thought 1+1+1 is 3 referred to 3 Beatles just like the back of Abbey Road cover at the side of where it says Beatles are some dots, if you join the dots you get the number 3, also 3 strings on the left handed guitar wreath over the grave which reads Paul? I must have watched the Winged Beatle too many times lol

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Here's another clue for you all ... Ringo's birthday bash was missing Paul. Well, he appeared in an older clip of some concert footage with Ringo, but no recent message. What's up with that? Very curious ... the mystery continues.

[@jeffreysmith4965]

I have the 2000 CD release and the 2015 1+ DVD set. I love the new remixes, especially Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

I welcome additional remixes. I do not think they should replace the original mixes, but I love 'em as alternates.

[@FromMissileWithLove]

You didn't mention the cassette version, which I still own. Fantastic video tho! I might go out and by the newer versions.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

The last cassette I bought of The Beatles was Live at the BBC in late '94, early '95. I still have it. Funny enough, I just featured it in my latest video on the BBC sessions. I highly recommend 1+, especially if you have any interest in the video content. The remixes are also worth checking out. Thank you for watching.

[@FromMissileWithLove]

@@MagicalMysteryMike Awesome! I'll check that out. Watching this made me very nostalgic because 1 was my introduction to the Beatles.

[@heggy_69]

I had rarities on cassette when I was younger lol

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Not bad. I never picked that one up on cassette before I abandoned the format.

[@verti_calman]

Some fantastic music on this album of course, but on it's release I was a bit disappointed, no Strawberry Fields or Please Please Me, I know that they were not number 1's, but for me it would have been better to have a double CD one disc called 'A' and the other called 'B', a collection of all the UK A and B sides all in one place, I have great memories of these singles and think it would have made a brilliant collection. Great video !

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

I think this was more designed for the casual fan. The CD Singles and EP Boxes from the early 90's were for the hard core fans.

[@QuartetDude]

I did make a B-side compilation, with both the British and American versions where applicable.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

@@QuartetDude That's an interesting idea. I might have to create a playlist and give that a listen.

[@QuartetDude]

Oh, yeah. For example, I Want to Hold Your Hand had This Boy as the Parlophone B-side and I Saw Her Standing There as the Capitol B-side. Same goes for A Hard Day's Night (Things We Said Today in the UK, I Should Have Known Better in the US). Everything else was consistant, where apllicable.

[@verti_calman]

@@QuartetDude I made one with just George's songs - sounded great all together.

[@capitolemiproducer]

The drop out on Day Tripper after "TRIED TO PLEASE HER" was artificIally repaired.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

Not sure I ever noticed that.

[@MarkArnoldComicsHistorian]

Honestly, when "1" originally came out in 2000, I pulled a "Dave Dexter" and didn't think it would be a hit. How wrong I was. I have since grown to love this single disc compilation, but originally thought that anyone trying to investigate and learn about The Beatles would buy "1962-1966" and "1967-1970" instead, for a more thorough coverage of their career that didn't just have singles.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

You make a good point.

No mention here of the very first Beatles anthology "A Collection of Oldies" released in the United Kingdom in December 1966. A great album that marked the end of the band's tenure with original Paul.

[@MagicalMysteryMike]

I was focussed on compilations from the 70's and 80's. I consider "A Collection of Oldies" as a part of The Beatles core catalogue, as it was originally the only album where UK fans could get the song, "Bad Boy." I mention it in a video I did on the UK Core Catalogue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHfLeJ9ppdWjldk around 5:38.
