This package gathers all 22 UK singles from the original era with their respective B-sides (or AA-side in the case of some). The exception to this is 1995's 'Free As A Bird', which is the 23rd and final seven-inch included in this package, but becomes a double A-side with 1996's Real Love.
Every single here reached number one in the UK charts, except 'Love Me Do' (#17), 'Please Please Me' (#2) 'Strawberry Fields Forever'/'Penny Lane' (#2) 'Something' (#4), 'Let It Be' (#2), Free As A Bird (#2) and Real Love (#4).
To make things interesting these seven-inch singles will use various international cover art, so the 'Love Me Do' sleeve is from the USA, 'She Loves You' from Germany and 'Ticket to Ride' is from Sweden ('Free As A Bird' had the same artwork everywhere).
Each seven-inch single is pressed on heavyweight vinyl and these are "newly cut for vinyl from their original mono and stereo master tapes" by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios.
