1 (2000)
Listen to 1 on Apple Music or on Spotify
1 features 27 singles which reached #1 in the UK’s Record Retailer chart or the US’s Billboard chart (or both). Each song is listed in the booklet with photos of several 45 sleeves from around the world and track info, such as which take number was issued and the date it was recorded. The album was launched simultaneously with the band’s official website, www.thebeatles.com, which features even more info on each of the album’s tracks, including interactive, virtual tours of the recording studio and never-before seen photos. The album is the first greatest hits package since 1982’s 20 Greatest Hits and was aimed specifically at the younger, ‘digital’ generation in hopes of introducing the Beatles to an even larger audience.
Re-release versions
1 utilized brand new remasters of all 27 songs, the third remastering of the Beatles catalog (following the initial CD masters of 1987/1988 and the 1993 remasters used on the first CD editions of 1962-1966 and 1967-1970). The 2011 re-release of 1 utilized the newly standard 2009 remasters. The 2015 expanded edition was issued in different configurations with a DVD or Blu-Ray disc of videos and features newly remixed versions of all of the tracks.
