excellent beatles of course
this is awesome footage of raw out takes from some of their best albums and being a beatles fanatic I am extremely impressed with this disc and very happy to have made this purchase.


Big Disappointment
It's just a bunch of noise to me. I was really disappointed in Anthology 2. Nothing but rehearsal cuts where they are just fooling around. I don't think they sang one song all the way through.


Anthology 2
It is a mixture of songs, old & new, and some conversation, but mostly music. Anthology 1 2 & 3 are a must for all Beatles fans. 2 cd's in each, there is hours of fun listening. I enjoyed all three sets. There are some songs I had never heard, and enjoyed every track. If you like the Beatles, this is a must for your collection .


3 CD's Packed Full Of Beatles Rarities and Oddities
On Anthology 2 you get the song, "Real Love", a song never realesed by the Beatles. The anthology series by the Beatles has realesed tons of Beatles demos etc, that never saw the light of day, until now. You also get a rare live peformance on disc one which contains songs like, "Ticket To Ride", "Yesterday", "Help", and "I Feel Fine". You also get an extremly experimental version of, "Tommorow Never Knows", and did I mention all the demos and outtakes you get just on disc one alone. On disc two you get to hear an early version of, "Strawberry Fields Forever", and some cool Sgt. Pepper demos. All in all the anthology albums by the Beatles cannot be missed by any hardcore Beatles fan.


"Still after all these years"
The second of the series, this has the music that I my mind is the most creative period of the Beatles. One could spend a lifetime an never can say enough about the fab four. 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. .
