This wonderful anthology showcases the best of the Beatles during their crucial formative years. Featured here, are eighteen unmissable performances spanning the years 1958–1962.

Included on this release is In Spite of All the Danger (the only song ever co-written by Paul McCartney and George Harrison) which was recorded in Liverpool in 1958 when the band (along with John Lowe on piano and Colin Hanton on drums) were still known as the Quarrymen.

This album also features a 1960 home recording of McCartney's Cayenne (with Stuart Sutcliffe), Ain't She Sweet, recorded in Hamburg in 1961, Besame Mucho and Love Me Do featuring Pete Best on drums, The One After 909, and I Saw Her Standing There, recorded live at the Cavern Club in 1962, as well as many more rare early treasures.
