Hey hey, easy there... 
Hell, I'm not sure if Beatles for Sale, Yellow Submarine or even half of Magical Mystery Tour are essential. And Let It Be is not thaaaat great to begin with...the problem is that each of those albums have 5 or 6 killer songs, and many of them don't appear in any compilation  , so...ehem, did I talk about down_ _ _ _ing the best songs of those albums and just forget about the filler? 
But the rest of their albums are a must have that's for sure  Nope, they are all must-haves, dammit. How can you possibly have a full understanding of The Beatles missing "Blue Jay Way," and "All Together Now" 
I'd say Beatles for Sale has enough gems to make it essential - and it's place as a stylistic bridge is also important to understand the Beatles story. Magical Mystery Tour's first side is a weary, half-baked lesser echo of Sgt. Pepper for sure, and yet... it still has that Walrus tune. 
As for Yellow Submarine... i don't really count that as a proper Beatles album, but I will agree it's non-essential - - apart from Hey Bulldog. That's a killer track. * * *

I'm not going to let my enjoyment of it be spoilt just cos he used it to fuel his psychosisI know. Damn Manson! I love Helter Skelter I love Helter Skelter too! One of the few songs I really love by The Beatles, but I can't help but think about Manson when I hear that song. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

Manson didn't write it and they weren't inspired by him to write it. It's just a song Charles liked. Well, no shit, it's a good song. Who knows the kind of ungodly acts committed to your favorite albums, some of y'all in your own bedrooms! Leave the song be. | |

This is actually a good tip. Beatles hits often were only released on singles and were not featured on the regular albums. Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, Get Back; just a few songs not on regular albums, but compiled on the second best of compilation of the 1967-1970 period; also known as the Blue Album. 1962-1966; http://en.wikipedia.org/w...%80%931966 1967-1970; http://en.wikipedia.org/w...%80%931970 >> |

(IMHO Revolver and Sgt Pepper's are their best albums  A Day In The Life  )

True, but they are less of an introduction to a nubie. I mean, German language songs... 
But RAIN makes it worth it, sure. >> |

Give me red/blue compilations, or give me death. | |
