Few bands of the 1960s retained as much a sense of the roots of rock and roll as did Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their music is rife with country, rockabilly, and R&B influences, a combination that produced several hit singles--most of which are present on this collection. These include "I Heard It through the Grapevine," "Lodi," "Up Around the B ," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and of course "Bad Moon Rising." This is an excellent greatest-hits collection, and a perfect introduction to the music of a band that has been enduringly influential. --Genevieve Williams

I've been listening to this CD for 2 weeks in my car on the way to work.

5 out of 5 stars Soundtrack of an era.......2007-06-15

This is an excellent compilation of CCR's tunes from the late 60s, early 70s. There's a reason why Credence tunes kept popping up in movies and commercials. It's great music and evocative of the era from which it comes. No need for me to review the individual tunes; anybody with a radio has head most of them. A must-have for any music fan.

Great CD Not the typical Grt. Hits Cd with a couple of good songs and the rest just filler. A good choice

5 out of 5 stars Bob Seger Rocks.......2007-05-13

This CD is excellent. It has many great songs that were on movie
sound tracks, and were not available on Bob Seger CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Comfort music........2007-04-14

Some of these songs are old friends and the others are becoming my new friends.

4 out of 5 stars Soundtrack Songs Make This A Must.......2007-03-11

I was glad to see "Understanding" and "Shakedown" included. Often the songs written for movies get overlooked. Both are terrific songs. Most of the other songs are available on other released albums. Note: I happened upon "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" when I discovered Bob Seger is not available via iTunes.

5 out of 5 stars CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL JUST KEEPS ROCKIN' AND ROLLIN'........2007-02-13

I will be writing a review on the legendary compilation album entitled "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS" by one of Rock's most sacred legendary bands of all-time, I give you one of America's pride and joy's, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL. This legendary album would be originally released in 1986 on Vinyl/LP, Cassette and Compact Disc on the Fantasy Records label. Like "CHRONICLE, VOLUME ONE, 20 GREATEST HITS," "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, 20 GREAT CCR CLASSICS is released on a special Two-24-Karat Gold Compact Disc set edition. The 24-Karat Gold coating produces a highly reflective surface for the laser signal. In fact, the Gold CD is the ultimate experience in recorded music. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

The whole world was blessed with the original "CHRONICLE, VOLUME ONE, 20 GREATEST HITS" when it was released in 1976. Now the whole world would be blessed again ten years later with the release of "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS" in 1986. Its only appropriate that Fantasy Records would release another compilation collection on this legendary band, there was just not enough room to put all of their hit songs on the first volume. When you listen to "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS," you realize that this band really recorded some fantastic hits throughout their whole career. It also makes you wonder what took Fantasy Records so long (Ten years) to release the second volume. In my opinion, "CHRONICLE, VOLUME TWO, TWENTY GREAT CCR CLASSICS" is another true testament of the sheer greatness, graceful genius and a fine tribute to a legendary band that has already been proven to be ahead of their time.

Now we get to the most important part of the whole review, the music. If you want to hear the true Rocker's on this compilation album, listen to the songs such as "Walk On The Water," "Susie Q (Part two)," the breathtaking "Born On The Bayou," the Little Richard classic "Good Golly Miss Molly," the rugged "Tombstone Shadow," "It Came Out Of The Sky," the Elvis like Rocker "My Baby Left Me," the wicked "Pagan Baby," the soulful heartfelt "It's Just A Thought," the tough rockin' "Molina," the spirited "Born To Move" and the Ricky Nelson classic "Hello Mary Lou."

The slow Rock Ballads on this compilation album are the classics such as "Wrote A Song For Everyone" and "(Wish I Could) Hideaway." CCR could really show their sensitive side by playing a little more mellower.

The only slow Blues Rocker on this compilation album is the classic song "Night Time Is The Right Time." This Blues number is a true heartfelt song recorded the CCR way. CCR could really play the Blues.

The Country Rockers on this compilation album are the classic songs such as "Cotton Fields," "Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me)," the ever popular "The Midnight Special," "Before You Accuse Me" and "Lookin' For A Reason." These are pure Country Rockers, my favorite is "The Midnight Special."

Overall, this is one hell of compilation album that compliments the other original volume perfectly.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this second volume compilation album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary compilation album has already been proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER.

In closing, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL will forever be remembered as the people's band that represented the youth culture and the bikers of the turbulent sixties and beyond. Their music expressed the feeling of how the times were unfolding during the turbulent sixties and into the seventies. When CCR broke up, one of Rock's greatest all-time bands would be silenced and laid to rest. The world was waiting for a reunion but all hopes would be shattered with the untimely death of TOM FOGERTY on 6 September 1990. FOGERTY would die as a result of AIDS given to him through a blood transfusion. Prior to his death, the FOGERTY brothers did not get along and would be fighting constantly throughout their whole career together. TOM FOGERTY was establishing himself in his own right as a songwriter and singer but remained in the shadow of his brother JOHN FOGERTY throughout their whole career. TOM FOGERTY would be the first CCR member to quit the band and go solo. CCR would later break up in 1972. However, the remaining surviving members would have a brief reunion while receiving Rock's highest ultimate honor of being inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in January 1993. As of this date, JOHN FOGERTY resolved his conflict issues and legal disputes with his old record label Fantasy Records and is now back with his old label better than ever keeping the CCR legend alive. So here's to you John, the late great Tom, Stu and Clifford. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL LIVES. JOHN FOGERTY RULES. R.I.P. TOM FOGERTY, Born 9 November 1941, Died 6 September 1990. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

5 out of 5 stars Chronicles 2: Twenty great CCR Classics by Creedence Clearwater Revival.......2007-01-19

The band CCR formed during the turbulent times of the 60s and early 70s, they gave poetic justice to that period with original compositions and made even greater classics out of old tunes. They created entertaining melodies with political fore-thought. They did this without profanity nor by debasing the religious beliefs of others...unlike many of today's young artists. This album deserves five stars.

What can you say, really? When you get right down to it, it's the greatest band in the history of pop music, the most influential, the best writers, and whatever other superlatives you can think of. Given their phenomenal output, and their huge chart success, it's no surprise that this second volume proves every bit as rich as the first. John, Paul, George, and Ringo had that rare chemistry that moved musical mountains, with more great songs than many people have had hot dinners, and they're still affecting the course of popular music. Thirty years later, all the paths they hinted at have yet to be explored, which is about as high a testament as can be given. --Chris Nickson

5 out of 5 stars Past masters.......2007-06-27

I bought this for one song, "Rain," which is not available on any other U-S release, at least to my knowledge. It's simply the best drumming by Ringo Starr!

4 out of 5 stars The Inner Light.......2007-04-30

Most of the songs on this disc have always been available on LP. But this disc contains two songs that were never on any LP. You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) is an interesting novelty piece, but basically a throw-away. The Inner Light, on the other hand, is a great Harrison song.
The Inner Light is the main reason to buy this disc.
Also, if you feel that it is essential to have cd versions of great Beatles songs like Hey Jude and Rain, this is a good disc to have.
My disc is broken. It won't play Hey Jude. So I have to take away one star in my rating. Otherwise, this is a five star disc. I don't blame The Beatles for my defective cd, but my rating system is tough. I don't give five stars easily.

5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Beatles Sampler! .......2007-03-05

If I had to pick my single favorite Beatles compilation album, it would not be 1, the Red or Blue albums, or any of the other sliced-and-diced Beatles packages of the last thirty years; it would be this odd-ball compilation.

Every song on this disc is a pure pleasure to listen to, and the scope and artistry of these pieces are amazing! The way the Beatles mined such divers sources as pop, folk, jazz, metal, traditional Indian, gospel, blues, acid-rock, classical and comedy is utterly mind-boggling! I can't see how you could possibly be disappointed with this.

5 out of 5 stars Like the 1st, an essential.......2007-02-09

Okay, so I could've done without Harrison's dated, Indian-influenced toss-off b-side The Inner Light. And the four new Yellow Submarine songs (Hey Bulldog; It's All Too Much; Only a Northern Song; All Together Now) would've been appreciated. Still, this is an essential CD to round out your Beatles collection, especially if you've got all 13 studio albums, but don't have (or want) to buy any of the greatest-hits albums to get Hey Jude and such. All of the Beatles' single-only tracks from the day are included here: the aforementioned Hey Jude (and its equally brilliant b-side Revolution, a hardrocker that blows most other rockers off the map): Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out; Paperback Writer/Rain; Lady Madonna/The Inner Light; Hey Jude/Revolution; Get Back/Don't Let Me Down; The Ballad of John and Yoko/Old Brown Shoe and Let It Be (the non-Spector mix)/You Know My Name (Look Up the Number), seven classic singles, are represented here, as is the "wildlife" version of Across the Universe, which admittedly isn't as good as the de-Spectorized take on Let It Be... Naked. Fourteen of these fifteen are indespensible, even the silly You Know My Name (Look Up the Number), an irresistably strange mutlipart experiment. Some of their greatest ballads (Hey Jude; Let It Be; Don't Let Me Down; We Can Work It Out), but there are also some of their best hard rockers: if someone tells you the Beatles couldn't rock out, play them Day Tripper; Paperback Writer; Rain; Revolution and the brassy Lady Madonna, all crunchy rockers with Paul playing ridiculously complex bass. One last note on Rain: if any Beatles number is underrated, it's this one. Love that tune, sort of a cousin to Tomorrow Never Knows that would've fit perfectly on Revolver. Be sure to have this!!
Why don't the Rolling Stones or the Who have collections like these? Both bands recorded some quality single-only material that is now fairly hard to find, except through greatest-hits albums.

5 out of 5 stars Still great music after all these years.......2007-06-16

Wow, I must really be getting old, because I remember buying this album in high school and enjoying every single track on it. Over the years I have bought and sold a lot of CDs, but I've never even thought about selling this one. Not only that, but I still listen to it frequently (though of course now it's on my ipod - gotta keep up with the times after all). Unlike some "all-star" albums, this one isn't an ego fest. No one artist tries to outdo the others or steal the show. Instead, it's as if these five remarkably talented musicians just sat around having fun in the studio and ended up with some great music. I've never heard anything else that sounds like the Traveling Wilburys' unique and original style.

5 out of 5 stars History of the Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 .......2007-03-19

Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was the debut album by the supergroup Traveling Wilburys and was recorded and released in 1988 to enormous commercial success and critical acclaim.

In the afterglow of George Harrison's 1987 comeback album Cloud Nine, he initiated a musical jam early the following year between friends Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Lynne was involved in producing songs for Roy Orbison's Mystery Girl album and invited him along. At the jam session, an idea was proposed to record a one-off album together under the name of Traveling Wilburys. Masquerading as the Wilbury brothers, the participants would be known as Nelson (Harrison), Otis (Lynne), Lucky (Dylan), Lefty (Orbison) and Charlie T. Jnr (Petty).

With Harrison having the greatest claim to the band, he signed them up to Warner Bros. Records, his current label, and incorporated their own Wilbury Records label, in addition to producing the sessions with Lynne that spring.

In October, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 (so named because of the unlikelihood of there being another) was released, preceded by "Handle with Care" as the lead single. Although the single did not scale the pop charts (it stalled at US #45), the album did, reaching #16 in the UK and an impressive #3 in the US. With over forty weeks on the charts, the album was later certified double-platinum. While Harrison and Petty had had recent successes, Dylan, Orbison and Lynne had not seen an album climb that high in several years. At the time, no Dylan album had ever achieved two million in sales. As one critic put it, it was "one of the great commercial coups of the decade."

Most critics said the group's modest ambitions were fresh and relaxing. During 1989 and 1990 the album won many accolades, not least a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.

Orbison suddenly died of a heart attack on 6 December 1988, surprising much of the music industry and press. The sleeve cover for "End Of The Line", the group's second single, was photographed four days after Orbison's death. Depicting a guitar in Orbison's rocking chair, it was taken as a tribute. As for Orbison, this album was released at the same time as his Mystery Girl album in 1989, and both their success made Orbison one of two singers (Elvis Presley being the other) to have two albums both reach the charts posthumously.

Both Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 and its unexpected 1990 follow-up Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 were deleted in the mid-1990's with rights reverting to Harrison and his estate after his 2001 death. With all of his solo catalogue having reverted to EMI after almost twenty years with Warner Bros. Records, who distributed his Dark Horse Records label, both Traveling Wilburys albums appear set to be re-issued through EMI. Tom Petty was recently quoted to have said that they would be re-released in late 2005, though nothing, as of December 2006, has come of these claims.

5 out of 5 stars Love the Wilburys, But Where The CD?.......2007-03-04

What an awsome recording too bad it's not in print. i have no idea why, because it's a great record of the greatest supergroup of superstars ever formed for a fun project, together they threw ideas at one another, it resulted in the ultimate record of the 20th century and beyond a timeless piece. George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne And Roy Orbison playing together no egos getting in the way. the guys are just having fun, is'nt that what Rock n' Roll is all about, instead of getting boozed up and all the drama just play for the fun of it.

When is somebody going to get smart and re-release this recording.

I'm Glad I have a copy of it already that i got years ago before it when out of print, i just saved in on my itunes and i'm going to put the cd in my safe. because i don't want to have to buy again at these high prices.

5 out of 5 stars superstars of the 20th century.......2007-02-07

This is such a grand collaberation from some of the greatest songwriters ever. "She's My Baby" should have been a top ten hit. And listen to the soulful piece by Roy Orbison that has as much power as "Pretty Woman" and you'll know this is a must have for any music collector.

Although they were probably the band that most transformed rock from a singles medium to an album-oriented form, the Beatles also released many singles and EP tracks that never made it onto albums. In the U.S., Capitol turned the group's early LPs, through Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, into compilations, more or less, throwing the hit singles onto the vinyl to augment the album tracks. When the label later released the U.K. albums on CD, it posed a problem: What to do with the non-LP singles? Past Masters, Volume 1 compiles 18 of those singles, including some of their best-known tracks, running from "Love Me Do," "She Love You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and "This Boy" to "I Feel Fine" and Paul's homage to Little Richard, "I'm Down." Essential stuff. --Bill Holdship

Great collection. If you love the Fab Four as I do, buy this disc.

It brings back so many memories! It is great to have all of these songs in one collection. I recommend it to any Beatle lover.

5 out of 5 stars Like the 2nd, an essential.......2007-02-09

Some of the Beatles' best cuts were regulated to non-LP b-sides (or at least are now ever since the US albums were dropped from the market in favor of the UK ones), and the best of those (other than Rain and Revolution, found on Volume 2) can be found here: This Boy is a superb, R&B-laced original; She's a Woman, a brilliant rockabilly/Elvis throwback (later covered quite nicely by Jeff Beck); I'm Down is relentless rock 'n' roll. You also get a straight reissue of the Long Tall Sally EP: Long Tall Sally itself and I Call Your Name are two bare essentials, both charged-up, three-chord rock with Lennon's powerful vocals. The other two tracks from that EP (Slow Down, with an interesting guitar solo; Matchbox) are nothing special but coulda been worse. Then there are the classic #1's from the early days that didn't make it onto an LP: From Me to You; She Loves You; I Want to Hold Your Hand and I Feel Fine are presented in their original versions here, while Love Me Do is an alternate version with Ringo (rather than a session drummer) drumming, though it isn't much different than the original, that's no real reason to complain. Bad Boy is an awesome rocker (from the US-only Beatles VI, which doesn't exist on CD unless you shell out $60 for The Capitol Albums, Volume 2) that didn't deserve to disappear. The German-language versions of She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand may seem like padding, but they're fun and interesting, though certainly not perfect or the originals: the only song that doesn't do the job for me is Yes It Is, one of their weakest.
The only way to get several of these tracks other than buying this is through The Capitol Albums boxed sets. So if you don't feel like spending $60 or more, go here for some great rare Beatles!
Why don't the Rolling Stones or the Who have collections like these? Both bands recorded some quality single-only material that is now fairly hard to find, except through greatest-hits albums.

5 out of 5 stars Fills in the void created when these singles were omitted from the original LPs.......2007-01-21

It's well-known that The Beatles ruled the charts for the majority of the 60s and the record company knew the value of their prizes when they released songs as singles (never putting them on LPs), split albums into EPs and releasing different versions of the same album (as was the case with "Revolver," and the beginning of the song "Help!" among many examples).

The two "Past Masters" CDs, to me, fill the void one might feel was created by the omission of the singles from the LPs. The fact that singles such as "Love Me Do," "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," and "She Loves You" were omitted from LPs in the first place seems a bit weird to me - someone born after The Beatles long split up (at least on paper, anyway).

But just thinking about John and Paul cranking out more timeless and poignant songs (separately and together) as opposed to insisting the singles be put on the albums attests to the fact that they are the greatest songwriters of the modern era of music.

Both "Past Masters" are essentials to a Beatles collection. - Donna Di Giacomo

4 out of 5 stars There are better and more interesting samplings.......2006-12-09

These tracks appear to be the A and B sides of 45 rpm and some 33 1/3 rpm LP records that I have tucked away in my closet. Volume One is a very good cross section of The Beatles hits early in their career, along with songs that are (were) rarely heard on the radio, particularly Matchbox (sung by Ringo) which was originally recorded by Carl Perkins, a country rock-a-billy or country rock artist. Yes It Is, is a soulful love song sung (and probably written) by John Lennon. Unique to The Beatles are their early appearances in a night club in Hamburg, Germany thus the two tracks sung in German. What you hear and hopefully enjoy while listening to this CD, is the energy, warmth, passion and diversity that John, George, Paul and Ringo put into each song. There are better, less well known, cuts that show a greater diversity of the Fab Four. But Volume One is a good place to start for a neophyte "The Beatles" fan.

This time selected and programmed by the man himself, the two-disc second installment in Dylan's Greatest Hits series comes off as much more idiosyncratic than its brother, famed songs ("Lay Lady Lay," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall") notwithstanding. An even richer cut-by-cut listen than the earlier best-of, this 1971 set masterfully casts the classics into new light and adds previously non-LP singles (the smashing "Watching the River Flow," with the Amazon.com fave line "People disagreein' just about everywhere you look / Makes you wanna stop and read a book; let's have lunch, Bob"), a then-unheard live 1963 "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," and new, stunning, off-the-cuff takes of "I Shall Be Released," "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," and "Down in the Flood." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Should have been on a single disc.......2007-04-08

Only complaint I have is this should have been on 1 disc. Disc 1 is 36 minutes flat & disc 2 is 42:23. All 21 tracks could have easily fit on one space-saving 78 minute disc. Only way to justify this being on 2 discs would be to include at least 1 bonus track, which Columbia has done on some other artists' reissues. Other labels have reissued 2 LP sets on 1 CD, such as Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, The Who's Tommy & Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, so they should have done that with this album.

5 out of 5 stars Dylan Fans.......2007-02-22

Bob Dylan is always at his best, but this time he may be more on top than usual. The music is fresh, concise, and delivered with enthusiasm. It reminds me of a time when the music and the story were the most important issues.

5 out of 5 stars Staying Alive with Bob .......2007-01-04

My husband gave away our old stereo equipment, including the Thorens record changer. What is a girl to do? I bought my favorite tunes from Amazon! Can't live without Bob. I got his 2006 album as well. Yah! Good!

5 out of 5 stars The Best Dylan Hits Collection.......2006-11-04

The first Dylan hits collection has all the famous stuff from the mid-Sixties: Blowing in the Wing, Mr. Tambourine Man, Like a Rolling Stone, The Times They Are A-Changin' etc. Those songs are indispensable to any rock collection.

But I think I like volume two better. This collection has twice as many songs as the first hits album, and the songs are mesmerizingly beautiful and skillfully written.

Another reason why I like this collection better than volume one is because the songs on volume one have been played to death on the radio. I love the melodious pop folk sounds of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, "My Back Pages," and "I Shall Be Released."

I also like the hard rocking "Maggie's Farm," the soft rocking "All Along the Watchtower," the country melody of "If Not For You,' aw heck, I like them all.

It should also go without saying that every single Dylan album from the 1960s is absolutely 5 star material, and some of his later albums are vastly unappreciated (Slow Train Coming, Infidels).

I highly recommend Greatest Hits Volume two as a great place to experience the diverse and beautiful sounds of Bob Dylan.

5 out of 5 stars a really great collection.......2006-08-29

the funniest thing ,i think, about this album is that it came out in the 90s.his 1st greatest hits album came out in 73.that was supposed to cover 73 and back.this new one sgould have picked up in 74 and went till its realease.however all the songs are oldies from the 60s,hinting maybe the 70s and 80s werent nearly as good.anyhow,theres "dont think twice its alright"-catchy."lay lady lay"-a beautiful love song."stuck inside mobile with the memphis blues again"-upbeat and catchy."ill be your baby tonight"-a sort of love dovey song abour a one night stand.only dylan!!!!!!!!!!"all i really want to do"-lyrical genius!"my back pages" is a song about reversing the aging process."maggies farm" is the dylan equivelant of "take this job and shove it!"."tonight ill be staying here with you" is good just like all the rest.ok disc 1 is down .now disc 2."she belongs to me" still sounds fine."all along the watchtower" is classic!then theres "mighty quinn the eskimo"-wtf???????????and "just like tom thumb blues".i guess they canr all be winners.then "a hard rain is gonna fall" a jim morrison like song but full of love like john lennon."if not for you"is singable."its all over now baby blue" is very pretty.then a few extras for space i think.this album kicks butt!

When the Beatles catalog was first issued on CD in the '80s, an attempt was made to standardize the releases (which often varied wildly in content internationally) by using their original British format. But this confounded many Fabs fans in the U.S. who now found CDs with track listings that often differed dramatically from their original American LPs. More maddening, the initial four releases were only available in not-so-glorious mono mixes. This four-CD collection of the band's 1964 American album releases finally addresses those concerns, and then some. Meet the Beatles, The Beatles Second Album, Something New, and Beatles '65 have been digitally prepared from Capitol's vintage album masters and presented in both the original stereo and mono mixes released back in '64. This set gives younger fans a chance to finally hear the band's epochal early music in stereo--and should please an older generation by returning massive hit singles like "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You," "She's a Woman," and "I Feel Fine" to their original American album contexts. The booklet contains a wealth of rare photos and concise notes by noted Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Beatles - Capital Years Vol 1-.......2007-05-31

I bought Vol 1 and 2 to replace my record collection. I was not disappointed. The sound quality is great and the mini albums are exact replicas of the originals.

5 out of 5 stars About damn time!.......2007-03-14

Even though I have all the 1987 CD's,I still bought this set. And I couldn't be happier! The set sounds great,Duophonic,Real Stereo or Mono. The packaging is stellar,each CD in the set in a reproduction of the original US album sleeve,with the CD label reproduction of the vinyl label (for the most part-the Capitol logo should've been at the top of the label...but so what). The booklet,however,could've been longer...but that's my opinon. Buy this set,as well as Volume 2. You will not be disappointed! (Here's hoping Capitol does a Volume 3!)

5 out of 5 stars America! Bring on the reverb!.......2007-03-04

Debate all you want the merits of the British versions versus the American versions, but the first time I heard "I Feel Fine" (on my big sister's original Capitol 45) it was bathed in echo and reverb. So was the flip "I Feel Fine." And didn't these versions sound great coming over the tinny transistor radio? You bet your Beatle Boots they did!

Years later when the CDs came out we were "treated" to the British versions (as the Beatles intended), we got to hear those two songs (on Past Masters Vol. 1) dry and stripped of the echo and reverb. I was stunned. So that's how they were supposed to sound, eh? I felt betrayed by the evil Capitol engineers.

Now it's a million years later and Capitol has the AUDACITY to release their original mixes. And you know what? Lay that reverb on me, baby. Douse me in echo! I'm a freakin' stupid clueless eight year old again!

What I didn't know didn't hurt me!

America: The land of milk and honey and REVERB!

4 out of 5 stars My childhood is back!.......2007-02-17

I had gotten so used to the CD versions of these Beatles oldies that I had forgotten how full the songs sounded in glorious stereo on my original LPs. The American mix is much more fun to listen to! Listening to these songs in the mono version is like listening to a Beethoven piano concerto on an "original" instrument, after you've already heard it on a concert Steinway. One gets the impression that Beethoven would have preferred the booming Steinway, and that the fab four would have preferred the Capitol mix. Drawback: way too expensive! Including the mono mixes doesn't really add anything, so basically you're paying about $48 for about 100-110 minutes of music. A ripoff, but I'm enjoying it anyway.

4 out of 5 stars GREAT MUSIC.......2007-01-15

Bought this for my 14 year old nephew...a beatles fan...the whole family enjoyed listening to the music...and he felt very important for having such a nice collectors item.

Only one title on the second volume of the three-volume Good Vibrations best-of series cracked the U.S. top 10, 1964's "When I Grow Up to Be a Man." (Five of the selections here made the U.K. charts--"Do It Again," "I Can Hear Music," "Break Away," "Darlin'," and "Cottonfields.") In contrast to its loaded-with-hits predecessor, Greatest Hits Volume 1: 20 Good Vibrations, Volume 2 serves up songs that stand as second-tier Beach Boys--but only in commercial terms. The likes of "In My Room," "Don't Worry, Baby," "Caroline, No," and "Heroes and Villains" stand well above Volume One's "409," "Little Deuce Coupe," and "Sloop John B" in their contribution to the group's incredible legacy. Those hungry for hits will want to stick with the earlier volume, but burgeoning Beach Boys boosters will find this 20-song set every bit the match--and arguably the subjugator--of its all-hits forerunner. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars Makes You Feel as if It Can Be Summer All Year Long.......2007-04-02

This album brings together all the all time favorites from the infamous Beach Boys. In My Room, Don't Worry, Baby, and Friends are all included in this CD that is guaranteed to get your blood pumping. Its hard to resist getting up and dancing to these wonderful tracks. If you like the Beach boys, you are sure to love this album. Its got all the right tunes and grooves. It makes you feel as it can be summer all year long. I highly recommend this album to any person of any age, its safe for kids, another perk of these amazing tracks.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection...But You Have To Buy The Other 2 Volumes!.......2004-05-19

As the album title indicates, this collection picks up where Volume 1 ends. Although some of the songs barely cracked the Top 40, I feel these songs are just as important and do more than just "supplement" Volume 1. Like Volume 1, these songs are short radio versions.

The liner notes are enjoyable along with the colorful pictures, song credits and chart positions. As stated in my title, you can't just buy this without getting the other two volumes. Plus, this three volume set may save you from buying their more expensive box set which contains over 100 songs. With this three volume, three CD set, you get 60 songs you will want. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars + 1/2 stars...The Rest of the Capitol Hits (and Near Misses).......2004-03-14

In many ways the Beach Boys GREATEST HITS VOL. 2 (along with Vol. 1 and 3) is a better choice than the 2003 single disc SOUNDS OF SUMMER. You not only still get all of their Top 40 singles (which SOUNDS OF SUMMER can't claim), you get some key album tracks and singles that charted outside the Top 40. So Vol. 2 not only gives you the big hits like "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)" (1964, #9) and "Heroes and Villains" (1967, #12), you get Beach Boy favorites like "Wendy" (1964, #44) and "Friends" (1968, #47), along with b-sides like "Please Let Me Wonder" and the U.K.-only single release of "Cottonfields" from 1970--where it was one of their biggest hits at #3!

Even at 20 tracks the album is still a bit skimpy (running time - 51:12), but it helps provide a solid overview of the Beach Boys first decade. Like Vol. 1, the 12-page foldout booklet is awkward, but the essay by Beach Boy author Brad Elliot offers some terrific insight, the photos are wonderful and the track-by-track studio info is informative. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5 out of 5 stars Great Material Unknown To Much Fans.......2004-01-30

Volume 2 in the "Good Vibrations" series tends give a more intriguing look at The Beach Boys. There is little, if any, inklings of the classic surf numbers. This disc seems to focus more on Brian Wilson's studio wizardry and their unique harmonies.

The first 11 tracks are from when the band was still hot and tearing up the charts. Here is where you'll find the eloquent "In My Room", the gloomy but optimistic "The Warmth Of The Sun" (great Brian falsetto on this one), the "faster, faster" vocal riff on "Little Honda", and the heartshattering "Don't Worry Baby", to name a few. Other gems include the one "Pet Sounds" track, "Caroline, No", the heartwrenching "Please Let Me Wonder", and the upbeat grooves on "You're So Good To Me".

The rest of the disc is from when the band started to become passe. Here we get tracks that are relative unknowns, with the exception of the infamous "Heroes And Villains". There's there two top 20 hits from this period, the pretty "Darlin'" and the nostalgic "Do It Again". There's also the sweet "Friends", a rock reworking of the country standard "Bluebirds Over The Mountain", and Carl's heavenly high on "I Can Hear Music". Closing this album is "Breakaway", featuring ebullient harmonies, and another reworked country standard, a marvelous Al Jardine - produced "Cottonfields".

I heavily suggest you purchase this album. It not only is full of great music but exposes the casual listener to a whole new world of Beach Boys music that they never heard before.

3 out of 5 stars Not Bad, But Greatest Hits Volume One is Better.......2004-01-16

This is a must for the absolute, die-hard Beach Boys fan. However, on the other hand, if you are a more casual Beach Boys fan (nothing wrong with that either), skip this CD and get the Greatest Hits of the Beach Boys, Volume One.

The first greatest hits CD has their BEST songs, their all-time, absolute GREATEST HITS. This CD picks up where volume one leaves off and focuses on their lesser known, and less popular songs.

Some of the selections contained in this CD are "I Can Hear Music," "In My Room," "All Summer Long," and "You're So Good To Me."

These songs are a study of how the Beach Boys' material matured and evolved from car, girl, and surfing songs to more intricate songs. It was at this point in their history that Brian Wilson wanted to progress from their surfing and car material to other types of songs, but the other members of the band still wanted to play surfing and car songs.

This volume is an study in that evolution. It is certainly not a bad CD, but if you prefer the car and surfing material, stick with volume one.

Unless your name is Ryan Adams, you're probably not in the habit of releasing four albums in four years, let alone the same number in one. But that's exactly what the Beatles did in 1965, thanks to Capitol Records' practice of mixing and matching tracks from their U.K. releases to create new, shorter records for the American market. Because standard-issue Beatles discs follow the British discography, The Capitol Albums, Vol. 2 marks the first CD appearance of The Early Beatles (March), Beatles VI (June), the Help! soundtrack (August), and the U.S. version of Rubber Soul (December), which are presented in both mono and stereo. And since the Brits' Please Please Me and Beatles for Sale are available only in mono, that means a lot of tracks are making their stereo CD debut here, including "Please Please Me," "Twist and Shout," "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey," "What You're Doing," and "Every Little Thing." This is also the first CD appearance of Ken Thorne's incidental music from Help! (James Bond intro, anyone?), as well as of the original wide-separation stereo mixes of Help! and Rubber Soul (not the 1987 George Martin digital remixes that appear on the British discs). All told, a full 82 of this set's 92 tracks have never before been available on CD. It's not quite the sonic revelation that was Vol. 1 (that box contained 32 stereo CD debuts, this one only 14), but it's a great listen nevertheless. Also included is a colorful, 60-page booklet featuring rare photos and liner notes by Beatles historian Bruce Spizer. --Benjamin Lukoff

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Sound.......2007-07-09

I am an American Beatles fan who grew up in the 60's and 70's, so I am of course more than familiar with the Capitol albums. In those days that's what you got right? I had never heard of 'With the Beatles' or 'Beatles for Sale'. For me it was 'Meet the Beatles' and 'Beatles 65' and 'Beatles VI'etc. It was the black rainbow label and later that ugly lime green label. I spent my childhood and teen years discovering this great music. It wasn't until later that I realised that these weren't the real albums. When I found out that Rubber Soul begins with 'Drive my Car' and not 'I've Just Seen a Face', and the Help album doesn't really have Beatle songs played by Indian session musicians, but real songs.. and 14 of them, I felt ripped off. I was thrilled when the real Parlaphone issues came out on CD, and I retired my vinyl Capitol albums and bought the entire Parlaphone catologue on CD. But surprisingly these new CDs didn't sound the same as the Capitol albums. The songs were in the right order but they were in mono, and I was used to my stereo albums. (We always had a stereo, as early as 1964). I did get used to the different sound of the CDs, and grew to love them. However now the Capitol Albums are back, fully remastered and in both stereo and mono! There are about 32 tracks on each CD in this box, so the first half is in stereo and the second half is in mono. You get the American Capitol versions of Beatles VI,(always a favorite of mine) Help, The Early Beatles (remember that one?) and Rubber Soul. Because they were remastered, both the stereo and mono tracks sound incredible, and very different from each other, so you are getting a lot for your money. They also sound different from the Parlaphone CDs. Each Cd comes in the original sleeve with the original artwork, and it comes with a little booklet which gives some interesting info. I still love my British Parlaphone CDs, but it's nice to have this boxed set (and Volume 1 also) just for the quality of the sound. It's also nice to have for nostalgic reasons also. A lot of fans have argued for the stereo versions, and were angry when EMI chose to issue the mono only Cds, and on the other hand, a lot of purists ( the Beatles included) have argued that the mono versions are the REAL versions, and therefore the only ones that matter. I personally love both. I think some songs sound better in stereo, and in some, ( 'I Feel Fine' and "She's A Woman' especially) the mono versions are better. But with both mono and stereo, you are getting different mixes of each song, and for most of the songs, both versions are wonderful. You can hear certain instruments or vocals better on various versions, for instance on 'You Like Me Too Much',John's electric pianet really stands out in one of the versions (can't remember if it's the stereo or mono). The vocals on the stereo version of 'Baby's in Black'(on volume 1) are high in the mix, while the vocals on the mono version sound different. The Help and Rubber Soul cds in this set sound incredible, and yes on Help you still have to lift up the needle, oops, I mean skip the tracks that feature those film soundtrack versions of Beatle songs. Whether you are hearing stereo or mono, every note can be heard. Everything is clear, and these cds are louder so you don't have to turn up the volume, like I've found I needed to do on the Parlaphone cds. If you are into remastered sound, you will love this boxed set and don't forget to buy Volume 1 also, because that's fantastic too. Actually some of this review talks about Volume 1, so it's worth it to have both. My only question is, where is the 'Beatles Yesterday and Today?' That album is conspicuously absent from this set. This is disappointing. I hope this means there will be a Volume 3 somewhere down the road.

1 out of 5 stars Poor sound effect on this Capital Vol.2!!.......2007-06-03

I got this CD set from Hong Kong HMV and these are the EU version. They has the problem -"the fake sound effect on Rubber soul(I'm Looking Through you-Stero version)". That made me upset! Are they kiding and cheating all our Beatles Fan??!

Capital Vo1. 1 is better than Vol.2 a lot! Especially the sound effect. Do not waste your money to buy this CD set !

I hope EMI will issue a CD version of "Rock and Roll Music" & "Love Songs" from the LP Version!

Actually, the British version of all the Beatles LP and CD are the best!

3 out of 5 stars 4 months to get replacement .......2007-05-11

Hey be careful buying this,,Took me only 4 months to get correct Rubber soul, and Beatle vI replacement discs..and last I checked in May 2007 Emi 1-800 phone number for replacement discs has been disconnected..read early reviews of this title to understand that you are looking for sk1 on yellow sticker ..3 stars for slow EMI handling of this

5 out of 5 stars Beatles are the Best........2007-02-22

This is everything that it is advertised to be. The updated, scratch-free productions are superb. Some listeners will be annoyed at the stereophonic mixing of voice and instruments. But you have to remember to enjoy the hundreds of great tunes the Beatles created in their careers. The songs are what you will remember. I never heard the entire sound track to Help before, and it is very interesting and creative. It shows George Martin at his best.

5 out of 5 stars Great stuff!! Amazing Sound! Stop all the Griping!!!.......2007-02-19

I held off buying this fantastic set after reading tons of reviews on here The reviews seemed to either be 5 stars or 1 star, with little in-between. After receiving the set and giving it a good listen, I feel it is every bit as good as Vol 1.

Yes, it's not perfect. Capitol virtually made their "own" "Rubber Soul", by choosing their own songs and giving the finger to George Martin's original British release. And yes, there is that infamous "false start" on the stereo version of "I'm Looking Through You." Which leaves a lot of people screaming for their money back. (Personally i thought the false start was actually a "great start" guess it depends on who's listening.)

BUT, for all you people on here that have picked this set apart piece by piece, why can't you just "chill out" and enjoy what is great about the set, that being the amazing stereo sound. (I could care less about the mono's. It's kinda like someone handing you the keys to a Lexus or to a Huandyi Accent, and telling you to take your pick. (i.e. mono vs stereo)
I grew up listening to stereo, frankly, I always thought a lot of the Beatle mono's were kinda "muffled" for a long time. (Stuff like No Reply, for instance. Now we can really hear them, the songs just "jump out and grab you". Also, what if you had to listen to all the great songs like Come Together, Let It Be, and Revolution (all the post Revolver stuff, beginning with "Pepper"), in plain mono, I don't think it would be the same do you? Rest my case.

If you don't believe it, line your songs up on your I-pod to play one mono song, then next play the same song in stereo, (you won't be able to listen to over 30 seconds of the mono songs until you just have to hit the "next" button on your i-pod/MP-3.) The amazing stereo will make you say, WOW!, what have i been missing!

Yeah, maybe some of this stereo stuff is manufactured. I don't know, I don't know if anyone can prove it, I really don't care, I like what I hear!!!

I don't really care for all the extra fillers on HELP, with the extra instrumental tracks, but they are interesting. I just erased them when going to my MP-3.

Bottomline, If you don't like the box, sell it to someone does, and quit your "bitching", hell they put both versions on here to try to please everybody. Yeah, Capitol is like every other record company, the al-mighty dollar rules over anything that makes sense, but damn I don't think the set warrants all the incredible negativity it is getting on here.

I just hope we see Vol 3, if Capitol and Apple don't slit each other's throat over the confusion/disagreements over this Vol 2.

I say BUY THE SET!!! Any fan, whether casual or hard-core should enjoy most every part of this set!

By the way, if you're wondering which songs are STILL NOT released in stereo, (and hopefully will be the VOL 3, I will list them for you below:

The only two remaning Capitol LP's/Cd's are Yesterday and Today and Revolver. (plus the hits masters 1 and 2) (of which most of the songs are already in stereo.), except for I'm Down and From Me To You.

The entire Revolver LP/CD, including, in alphabetical order, And Your Bird Can Sing, Dr. Robert, Eleanor Rigby, For No One, Good Day Sunshine,Got To Get You Into My Life, Here,There,And Everywhere, I Want To Tell You,I'm Only Sleeping, Love You Too, She Said,She Said, Taxman,Tommorrow Never Knows, and Yellow Sub.

Also, the "Yesterday and Today" LP, also the infamous "butcher cover", with the songs not already on Revolver: If I Needed Someone,Yesterday, We Can Work It Out, What Goes On, Act Naturally, Nowhere Man, Drive My car, and Day Tripper.

Finally, the rest: I Should Have Known Better, Can't Buy me Love,(which were on the "Hey Jude LP"), and A Hard Day's Night, From Me To You, I'm Down, Misery, and There's A Place.

If I omitted any songs let me know!

Can't Wait For Vol 3!!!!

Enjoy your box set!!! And LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!!! The greatest rock and roll band that ever lived and ever will live!!! Let's All keep the Music Alive!!! (Besides Yoko, Capitol, and Michael Jackson, all need the money).

Keep Rockn! rocknronnie
