Past Masters-Volume 1
For the last time, this is not a greatest hits album. The Past
Masters series collects all the Beatles singles that are not on any
albums and put it on two discs. My dad gave me this album, he was a big
fan of the mod Beatles. I know a lot of people with the second Past
Masters, but I'm the only one I know of with the first one, so that
instantly makes me the most popular guy in greater Los Angeles. There are
a lot of great songs on this album, but the definite highlights are the
German versions of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You." This goes
with the old saying that everything German is just better. That's why
bratwursts are better than Oscar Meyer wieners. The German title of "She
Loves You" is "Sie Liebt Dich," and that sounds really dirty in the
English language. I'm sure the only reason why the Fab Four recorded it
was to sing, "Sie Liebt Dich, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
