Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.1/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

imagine if this songs were in a "real" album.......
Best album all time by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
It was a VERY big deal when they released all of the Beatles catalog on CD (yes, that was a long time ago). This was the final CD, and I found it quite astonishing how so many of their "hits" never actually made it to a studio album. That they were so prolific with their genius in such a short time is astonishing - and this collection proves it.

Hey Jude is my favorite Beatles track, and I really think it should have been fit into the White Album (as it was recorded during those sessions). It fits in and would make the White Album maybe their best album, and it would give a home to Hey Jude, which must find its place on compilations like this.

Way better than Past Masters 2. I'm not sure, but I think none of these were on the album as opposed to 1 (looked at it again and I think that's true minus the Let It Be tracks). Possibly best track is the alternate version of Revolution. Day Tripper was one of the first "harder" bass lines I learned. Paperback Writer is one of the best Beatles songs sorely missed on their album releases. I've heard drummers talk about how Rain is Ringo's best drum work. Don't Let Me Down is also sorely missed. Ballad of John and Yoko is my second least favorite Beatles song though... I mean lyrically/the message is already, but the music really does nothing for me. Then of course the silly you know my name is a fun way to remember John.
While I have little to no interest in the first volume, this definitely is worth spinning more than once a decade.
Finally a decent collection of later non album singles. The record company did a fine job with this release.

Good

This collection of latter day non-album singles contains some of their best ever songs.
Some of their best singles are in this compilation, with Rain being the best track.
