The Beatles: The Beatles 1962-1966 (1973)
Although having the original albums (UK versions) would be preferable, these two double albums scooped up high points and great songs. Expanded in 2023 to three albums apiece (some songs remixed) to include more George Harrison and the “new” single Now and Then (but not Free As A Bird) these are the go-to present for young people curious about the fuss.
Next: John Lennon, Mind Games; Paul McCartney and Wings, Wings Over America; Ringo Starr, Ringo; George Harrison, All Things Must Pass and Cloud Nine
