NBR: Beatle CD for Dad

songstress503 · December 2012

I am hoping someone on here is a bt of a Beatles freak. Dad says he wants a Beatles CD for Christmas but I don't know which to buy him. We already bought them a big combined gift so this will just be the icing on the cake, so unfourtunately no big box sets. Any recommendations?

I like the Beatles, but am no expert. I have "One" it has most of the good stuff on it.

I'm not a Beatles freak by any means, but I thought I'd give my two cents anyway. Does your dad some Beatles CDs already? If not, how about a greatest hits album?

No he doesn't have any CDs. He still has a few vintage LPs, but nothing to play them on lol.

I looked at that one, but it is out of stock

The White Album. Classic, wonderful Beatles. Good starter album if you don't have a collection already.

If he is more of an "oldies" fan (likes Buddy Holly type music, the 50's sound): Go for Hard Day's Night.

Another great classic Beatles album is Abbey Road. It's just good.

If he has eclectic musical taste and is looking for wackier Beatles instead of "classic" Beatles, you could go Magical Mystery Tour or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Yes! The White Album for sure.
There's 2 discs and there's a lot of good tunes on em

Beatles Anthology!! You can get the CDs only on Amazon (instead of buying the full box set). They're really cool because they have a lot of outtakes, original cuts, live versions, and "voice" tracks. There's 3 all together, and they each have 2 discs. Or you can get tons of books!

If you want to get him a book, I recommend Here, There and Everywhere, the 100 Best Beatles Songs. It gives descriptions of each song, like meanings behind the lyrics, what was going on in their lives, who the songs are about, etc. I love it!

Just read that he doesn't actually have any regular CD's: White Album is amazing, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967-1970, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road.
