While the first compilation contained 26 tracks lasting 65 minutes, this one contains 28 generally longer tracks lasting 95 minutes. The Beatles recorded fewer songs during this period so there are fewer obvious omissions. The best-known track from this period not included here is When I'm 64.
Of course, all their own British and American hits from the period are here, including Strawberry fields forever, Penny lane, All you need is love, Hello goodbye, Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, Get back, The ballad of John and Yoko, Come together, Something, Let it be and The long and winding road.
Also included are their own versions of songs that were hits for others, including With a little help from my friends (Joe Cocker), Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Elton John) and Ob-la-di ob-la-da (Marmalade).
As if all that were not enough, there are some brilliant album tracks, including my favorite track here, Fool on the hill. I am the walrus is a very silly song, but it has a certain appeal.
This is a superb collection containing almost (but not quite) all the essential Beatles tracks from the period covered.
