Editorial Review:
3 LP set. The most anticipated of the Anthology series, this disc covers what was arguably the Fab Four's most intensely creative period ('65-'67) when they single-handedly changed the course of popular music. Anthology 2 doesn't disappoint. Outtakes and demos show the building of songs like "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite," while the pure pop song writing of Rubber Soul and Help! is also documented, along with the sonic experimentation that characterized Revolver. Even if the legendary proto-metal jam of "What's the New Mary Jane" didn't see the light of day here, there is plenty for any Beatles fan. EMI. 2005.

Anthology 2 Reviews:
excellent beatles of course 
2009-11-08 - this is awesome footage of raw out takes from some of their best albums and being a beatles fanatic I am extremely impressed with this disc and very happy to have made this purchase.
Big Disappointment 
2009-09-29 - I was really disappointed in Anthology 2. It's just a bunch of noise to me. Nothing but rehearsal cuts where they are just fooling around. I don't think they sang one song all the way through.
Anthology 2
2009-08-02 - Anthology 1 2 & 3 are a must for all Beatles fans. It is a mixture of songs, old & new, and some conversation, but mostly music. 2 cd's in each, there is hours of fun listening. I enjoyed all three sets. There are some songs I had never heard, and enjoyed every track. If you like the Beatles, this is a must for your collection
3 CD's Packed Full Of Beatles Rarities and Oddities
2009-03-29 - The anthology series by the Beatles has realesed tons of Beatles demos etc, that never saw the light of day, until now. On Anthology 2 you get the song, "Real Love", a song never realesed by the Beatles. You also get a rare live peformance on disc one which contains songs like, "Ticket To Ride", "Yesterday", "Help", and "I Feel Fine". You also get an extremly experimental version of, "Tommorow Never Knows", and did I mention all the demos and outtakes you get just on disc one alone. On disc two you get to hear an early version of, "Strawberry Fields Forever", and some cool Sgt. Pepper demos. All in all the anthology albums by the Beatles cannot be missed by any hardcore Beatles fan.
"Still after all these years"
2008-09-07 - One could spend a lifetime an never can say enough about the fab four. The second of the series, this has the music that I my mind is the most creative period of the Beatles. To listen to the evolution of "Strawberry Fields" or any of the songs, is to hear how such musical genious is created. However, the song that stands out is the newly discovered "Real Love" which starts the cd. Poignant strains of piano and guitar haunt this melody. More so when you remember that John and George are no longer with us except in our hearts.
