''Past Masters'' is a two disc compilation album set by the Beatles which was released in 1988 as part of the first issue of the band's entire catalogue on compact disc.〔 Compiled by the noted Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, this collection of many of the band's biggest hits as well as rarities includes every song released commercially by the band that was not available on the Beatles’ twelve original UK albums or the ''Magical Mystery Tour'' LP.〔〔 The majority of the ''Past Masters'' set consists of A- and B-sides from the band's singles, including single versions of songs that appeared in a different form on the band's albums. Also included are the full contents of the UK-only ''Long Tall Sally'' EP, two German-language tracks, a song recorded for the American market, and a track released on a charity compilation album.〔 == Release history == ''Past Masters'' was originally issued as two separate CDs ''Past Masters, Volume One'' and ''Past Masters, Volume Two'', on 7 March 1988. The two volumes were included in ''The Beatles Box Set''. A two-CD set, ''Past Masters'', containing both volumes, was issued on 9 September 2009, as part of the remastering of the original Beatles' catalogue, and was included in ''The Beatles: Stereo Box''.〔 This release includes stereo mixes of both "From Me to You" and "Thank You Girl". The original 1988 issue contained mono versions of these two tracks. In the ''Beatles in Mono'' box set, the album ''Mono Masters'' took the place of ''Past Masters'', containing a similar track list of dedicated mono mixes. The remastered-for-vinyl version of the ''Past Masters'' double LP set was released on 12 November 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inside the Beatles' Vinyl Album Remasters )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Past Masters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
