About this album

Rock 'N' Roll Music Vol. 2 is a sharply focused Beatles compilation that highlights the band’s harder, more direct side. Issued in 1980, it draws together material from across their career, pairing early rock-and-roll covers and Beatlemania-era energy with later originals that show how far the group pushed guitar-driven pop. The inclusion of songs such as Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Revolution, Helter Skelter and Get Back underlines the breadth of the Beatles’ rock credentials, from raw live-wire performances to studio-bred heaviness. Rather than a standard hits package, it works as a reminder that the Beatles were one of the defining rock bands of the 20th century, as well as master songwriters.
