Title: Anthology II
Post by: on April 04, 2005, 06:50:49 PM
I'm thinking of getting this. Out of the three, which one is your favourite?

As I said: Volume 2 is brilliant, my favourite one. Real Love is on it and I love the Strawberry Fields bits. In And Your Bird Can Sing John was laughing through the whole song...Just one Ringo song: If You've Got Trouble.
Great CD, all the Anthology albums are great.

You really do have to have all three, but start with Anthology 2, then 1, then 3 I reckon.

There's tons more rare tracks on the CDs - but the DVDs are superb!

That moment when they're sitting in the garden and Ringo has to say goodbye to George and Paul - it gets me everytime! :(

the live songs from the Blackpool Night Out show are focking amazing, especially Help. I can listen to that Help version forever, it's brilliant.

I like the intro too

The next song we'd like to sing...
Shurrup! I'll kill you ...is our latest record. Umm yea abop.
Or our latest electronic noise
depending who's side on.
Any road, we'd like to carry on with this last number.
We'd like thank you all of you, so wonderful. Ha ha!
And it's called, "Help!".
1,2,3,4...

Which section is that, again?

I think the black pool show tracks are 10,11 and 12 (disc 1)

Anthology II is my personal favourite. Get it first.

The second CD of Anthology 2 is easily the best of all 6 Anthology CDs.

I'd say the Anthology is essential for all Beatles fans. Not just the die-hard collectors.

It must've sounded damn strange to people when they first heardthe anthology song versions.

Just completed my anthology CD set today. Awesome stuff so far.

 Anth II is my favourite of the anthologies, although I and III are really really good too. My favourite song on Anth2 is And Your Bird Can Sing - it's just fing hilarious and it gets me laffing all the time.  



;D It sounds as if one of them let one rip or something!

I would agree with all those saying that number 2 on CD is the best. I do not like the first CD much, though there are some good songs on it. The 3rd on I haven't heard in a very long time because that was "borrowed" by a "friend" and I never saw it again. SO I won't make any opinions on the 3rd Antology CD.

BUT, I would agree in saying that if you can only buy one right now- start with Anthology 2!  :D :D

I really need to pick up the anthology CDs sometime soon. By the sounds of it, I should get 2 first.

Post by: An Apple Beatle on April 25, 2005, 03:50:57 PM
I got #1 first and was not that into it. Then I got #2 and loved it and then finally #3 and I find it interesting. #2 is the magical one for me. ;)

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah


I love "helter skelter, even if it's by McCartney !! :)))

yeah...was it so clear?? ahahha yeah, actually i've always found him a bit "commercial" in his way to do music, sometimes banal, not a big personality if considered alone...but at the end of the day "good" when put together with the other members. I have always seen him like the "bougeois" of the group! And you know what?? There  was a big McCartney concert in Rome (where I live) like 2 years ago, and i decided not to go...could u believe that??? Yeah i didnt go, cos i didn't want to betray my enormous love and respect for John Lennon. I simply said to myself: "what's the point to go and see McCartney?", but anyways i respect Paul and his doing in the band. he must have done something, mustn't he???

Shame to miss the talent for the love of John. I'm sure John wouldn't have minded you going. lol

Anyways, I can't find the thread for Anthology 3 but in sitting in the bath and listening again it made me chuckle when John sings 'Yoko Ono, Yoko, oh yes.' Has this managed to tickle anyone else? lol

I love his playfulness in the studio.

Big sacrifice. The best (for me) is the first one: some stuff you wouldn't find anywhere else but on bootlegs.

Joost nailed this one.  Maybe best record by the band along with Revolver

I've only heard Anthology 3, but I know I'll love 2 I just have to get it! I agree that every Beatles fan should have anthology, I LOVE what I've heard so far. # 2 has my favorite beatle's era songs

they are all great must-haves for any beatles fan.my fave part is on c.d.1,anthology 2-'yes it is'......where they go from take no.1 and then it fades into the actual released version.class in a glass.but yeah-i suppose anthology 2 could be the best-although anthology 3 does have some great bits on it.the esher demos are a particular highlight-including junk.i like junk a lot.

My favorite is Anthology 3, but Anthology 2 is right there behind it. Anthology 1 is way behind them.

I like #3 the most because the versions of the songs on it are the most different from the album versions which to me makes it the most interesting.
