How can I get all the Beatles singles?

Brian H asked:


I have all the Beatles studio albums, and I’d like to complete my collection. Any set that has all of them on CD? (I know the Stones have something like this)

I DO NOT want any “greatest hits” albums or anything like that, and I already have the “1″ compilation of the Beatles

    The best strategy is to get this two-volume set:

    Which contains:

    1. Love Me Do (Single Version)
    2. From Me To You
    3. Thank You Girl
    4. She Loves You
    5. I’ll Get You
    6. I Want To Hold Your Hand
    7. This Boy
    8. Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand (I Want To Hold Your Hand)
    9. Sie Liebt Dich (She Loves You)
    10. Long Tall Sally
    11. I Call Your Name
    12. Slow Down
    13. Matchbox
    14. I Feel Fine
    15. She’s a Woman
    16. Bad Boy
    17. Yes It Is
    18. I’m Down

    And:

    1. Day Tripper
    2. We Can Work It Out
    3. Paperback Writer
    4. Rain
    5. Lady Madonna
    6. The Inner Light
    7. Hey Jude
    8. Revolution
    9. Get Back
    10. Don’t Let Me Down
    11. The Ballad Of John And Yoko
    12. Old Brown Shoe
    13. Across The Universe
    14. Let It Be
    15. You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)

    So, do you have all the singles now?

    Maybe, maybe not.

    If you own the American version of Magical Mystery Tour, or if you have it on CD, then “yes”. If by any chance your collection is on vinyl and you have the UK version of MMT, then you will not have some key 1967 singles like “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Penny Lane”, which are not found on the Past Masters series. To get them, you’ll need to buy the “Blue Album”:

    I would go to used clothes places such as in Canada we have Goodwillls, St. Vincent de Pauls, Salvation Army, and Value Village. They have many single records at this places and you pay very little for them. Good luck in your search
