One could spend a lifetime an never can say enough about the fab four. The second of the series, this has the music that I my mind is the most creative period of the Beatles. To listen to the evolution of "Strawberry Fields" or any of the songs, is to hear how such musical genious is created. However, the song that stands out is the newly discovered "Real Love" which starts the cd. Poignant strains of piano and guitar haunt this melody. More so when you remember that John and George are no longer with us except in our hearts.
I am deeply disappointed by the so-called Beatles Anthology since all three CDs contain just a couple of originally recorded songs which is not mentioned in the advertisement. I consider this a certain breach of trust at least as far as my personal relationship with Amazon is concerned. I will return the CDs.--Wolfgang Seibel, Zumsteinstr. 11, 78464 Konstanz, Germany
Anthology 2 is worth every penny, especially because of the wonderful "Real Love" and hilarious "You Know My Name," though I prefer the final version on the B side of "Let It Be." Am I the only one who appreciates the incredible Lennon and McCartney vocals in the beginning of the latter? Singing near the top of their ranges, they have an otherworldly quality that is unmatched in pop music. They don't even sound human! Lennon and McCartney were truly a match made in Heaven.
