The Beatles Past Masters 2-CD Box Set (Catalog Number: 50999 2 43807 2 0) is the definitive, globally consolidated 2009 stereo remastered edition. Released worldwide on September 9, 2009 (09/09/09), by Apple Records, Capitol Records, and Parlophone, this version merged the separate 1988 "Volume One" and "Volume Two" releases into a singular, cohesive 33-track collection. Its core purpose is to collect every single, B-side, and studio rarity that was left off the band's 12 original UK studio albums and the Magical Mystery Tour LP.

Audio Mastering & Technology

The audio on this specific release was meticulously corrected at Abbey Road Studios by a dedicated team of EMI engineering specialists. They utilized original stereo and mono analogue master tapes to produce pristine, high-fidelity digital transfers, correcting the phase anomalies and volume drops found on earlier 1988 CD issues. Of the 33 tracks, 29 are presented in Stereo, while 4 tracks remain in their historic Mono mixes ("Love Me Do", "She Loves You", "I'll Get You", and "You Know My Name").

Tracking Details by Disc

The compilation is organized chronologically across two physical discs:

CD 1 (1962–1965): Spans 18 tracks from their earliest recording eras. It features non-album chart-toppers like "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand", their rare UK-exclusive Long Tall Sally EP covers, and the German-language variants "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" and "Sie Liebt Dich".
CD 2 (1965–1970): Spans 15 tracks covering their studio-isolation eras. It contains full-length non-album singles and B-sides, including the aggressive stereo single version of "Revolution", the iconic 7-minute single cut of "Hey Jude", "Day Tripper", "Paperback Writer", and the rare comedic rarity "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)"
