Dave, Anthology 3 holds together pretty well (and I even like all the insipient tracks of #1 --which really brings to light the early "urgency" of their budding career), but of all the "Anthology moments" in the entire trilogy, I must say I love the best #2's spotlight on the evolution of John's "Strawberry Fields Forever"--showing it in all it's phases of creative development in sequential order (from the rough personal tape to the final Abbey Road configuration everyone now knows) Amazing...and historic. It's a high point on the collection IMO
