The Beatles - 1

1 is a compilation album by the British rock band The Beatles, originally released in November 2000 via Apple Records.

The album features virtually every number-one single achieved in the United Kingdom and United States from 1962 to 1970 by The Beatles.

Compiled by producer George Martin and the (then) three surviving members of the band, 1 includes the 27 Beatles songs that went to number one in the United Kingdom on the Record Retailer Top 50 chart or in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

Issued on the 30th anniversary of the band's break-up, it was their first compilation available on only one album.

1 was a commercial success, and topped the charts worldwide and has sold over 31 million copies worldwide.

The vinyl version features a large full-colour fold-out poster showing 126 picture sleeves, and reproductions of the four Richard Avedon photos of The Beatles. The Avedon portraits also appear on the inside of the gate-fold cover. The records have custom labels featuring the same graphics as the front cover and are packaged in custom inner sleeves. The deluxe packaging of the vinyl album, with its four portraits and poster, is reminiscent to that of The Beatles album (The White Album).

1 was remastered and reissued in September 2011, and was reissued and remastered again in several different deluxe editions in November 2015, the most comprehensive of which is a three-disc set entitled 1+, that includes accompanying film / video clips.

This double album 2LP record set is a repress on 180 gram black vinyl featuring the 2015 remastered audio, housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, poster and 4 Beatle portrait inserts, pressed in Germany via Apple Records.
