The back of the double LP sleeve is similar to the front cover of thePast Masters, Volume Two CD cover which is white with black lettering. This was the final Beatles album released as agramophone record before the recording industry stopped manufacturing them in large quantities in favour of the compact disc format of prerecorded music. Subsequent new Beatle albums were released in the vinyl record format in small quantities as limited editions.This compilation, combined with the 12 original Beatle albums (which are also included in
The Beatles Collection box set ) along with theMagical Mystery Tour LP, allowed the record collector to possess every Beatle recording released commercially byEMI from 1962 to 1970.Track listing
