披头士的第一部电影《A Hard Day´s Night》诞生于1964年。随即推出的这张同名专辑收录了电影中出现的歌曲以及与电影无关的几首作品。制作这部电影的最初目的是进一步宣传披头士，而数十年后，这部黑白色调的小制作却成为公认的经典。
在音乐上，这张专辑获得巨大成功，留下数首名作，如《A Hard Day´s Night》，《And I Love Her》，《Can´t Buy Me Love》等。

Abbey Road is the eleventh released studio album by English rock band The Beatles and their last recorded. Though Let It Be was the last album released before the band's dissolution in 1970, work on Abbey Road began in April 1969. Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, and 1 October 1969 in the United States. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was engineer, Alan Parsons was assistant engineer, and Tony Banks was tape operator.
Abbey Road is regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, although the band was barely operating as a functioning unit at the time.Rolling Stone placed it at number 14 on its list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 2009, readers of the magazine also named Abbey Road the greatest Beatles album. (转自维基百科)

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……
