Being a big Beatle fan of the Rubber Soul-Magical Mystery Tour era (what a huge change in some 18 months), I finally bought Anthology Vol. 2. I've owned all the comercially-available records and several other things that have fallen into my lap, as it were, for a long time, so I was thinking that this series would be just a re-hash of what's already out there.
No, no. Anthology Vol. 2 is a brilliant encapsulation of recording studio demos, live tracks, initial/intermediate takes, and variants, and it gives the listener a good sense of how some of the more complex arrangements evolved. Two big thumbs up.
