BEATLES “BEATLES 1”:
On November 13, 2000, the album called “BEATLES 1” is published in the USA under the Apple / Parlaphone label, Capitol Records, which is a chronological compilation of 27 of the singles that were published by “The Beatles” both in the UK and the USA. they reached the first position of the official pop charts in England and / or the United States and for this reason the song “Yesterday” is included, which was only published as a single in the USA and not in the UK and the surprise is that the classic Strawberry Fields is not included which only reached second place on the charts and therefore is not in the selection that also came out in a double CD and DVD edition with remastered videos.
The album is also interesting for the internal drawings made long ago by the teacher Alan Aldridge for the occasion and was one of the last produced by the legendary George Martin and was the best-selling compact of the first decade of the new century.
It can be said that within the 8 years (1962-1970) that the Beatles were riding the crest of the popularity wave, they almost achieved the record of having 100% of the singles they released both in the UK and the USA in the number. one, worse the paradox of the story is that the double number 1 songs more elaborated by them (STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER / PENNY LANE) did not reach the first place in ENGLAND because a sweetened ballad called “Release Me” by the monotonous crooner Engelbert Humpernick published in 1967 it did not move from number one relegating them to second place.
