Certification(s):
Gold (Canada) In 2009, when The Beatles Remastered edition was released, the Past Masters portion included two additional stereo tracks. (Mono Masters was the name given to the collection's monaural equivalent.)
Volume One of Past Masters covers the years 1962 through 1965 and offers 18 songs: 11 singles from UK releases, the two German versions, the four songs from the Long Tall Sally EP, and Bad Boy from Beatles VI, the Capitol release for the North American market.
Volume Two of this two-CD set released in 1988 includes songs from the period 1966 through 1970, focusing, like its companion volume, on singles (both the a- and b-sides) that had not found their way into the twelve studio albums, plus the recording made for the World Wildlife Fund money-raiser, Across the Universe. This version differs markedly from the track that came out later on Let It Be.
