二十世纪最伟大的乐队,二十七首冠军细碟,一次过收录在一张镭射唱片里面!由六三年推出《Please Please Me》到最后一张专辑《Let It Be》,The Beatles只得七年寿命,但却生产了二十七首冠军歌,绝对是前无古人、后无来者。
当然,如果你已经拥有了《1962-1966》和《1967-1970》两套精选唱片,这张《1》对你的吸引力未必很大,作为一个普通乐迷,已经差不多拥有了最流行的The Beatles作品,不过如果你是忠实的「披头迷」,这张唱片的价钱还是省不了的,因为唱片的小册子印满了每一张细碟的原装封套,无论是英国版、美国版、法国版或日本版均一并印载,仿如一本迷你的The Beatles细碟全书。
况且《1962-1966》和《1967-1970》都是双唱片集,而各自收录的歌曲亦只是廿多首,相比之下,《1》就更物超所值了。
Mariah Carey在98年也曾推出过一张叫《#1's》的冠军细碟精选唱片,但就只收录16首歌,还要强硬将翻唱Brenda K.Starr的《I Still Believe》(林忆莲比她更早翻唱!)和几首未能夺魁的单曲加诸其中,比起廿七首冠军歌,也实在相差太远了!
在怀缅昔日的光辉之际,我们也应该期望着下个巨人的出现,只是,巨人得来不易,还是继续播放《Yesterday》吧……

25 is the upcoming third studio album recorded by British singer and songwriter Adele. It is scheduled to be released on 20 November 2015, through XL Recordings. Following the release and international success of Adele's second studio album 21 (2011), she had planned to quit the music industry and go out on a positive note. However, Adele decided to take a hiatus instead and raise her son. During her sabbatical, she suffered with writer's block and rescheduled the album's studio sessions fearing she had lost her ability to write songs. In 2013, Adele had a breakthrough and the material that eventually became 25 manifested, with writing and recording continuing through to 2015. According to the singer, the album's title is a reflection of her when she was 25 and the frame of mind she was in during that age.
The lead single, "Hello", was a critical and commercial success, topping the charts in 26 countries including the United Kingdom and the United States, where "Hello" became the first single to sell one-million downloads in a release week.
