20 Greatest Hits was a compilation album featuring a selection of songs by The Beatles that were number ones in the UK and U.S..
It was released on 11 October 1982 in the United States and one week later in the United Kingdom.
20 Greatest Hits was released to mark the 20th anniversary of The Beatles' first record release, "Love Me Do", in the UK in 1962;
it was the last Beatles album to be released with variations in the US and UK versions (some Beatles hits in the US weren't released as singles in the UK, such as "Eight Days a Week" and "Yesterday").
For the US album—catalogue number SV 12245—a five-minute edited version of "Hey Jude" was used due to time constraints;
this edited version dates from 1968 when it was created for use by Capitol Records on the four-inch flexi "Pocket Discs" that were sold in vending machines during the period
(the US cassette release, not constrained by the limits of LP's, contains the full version.) The American version of this LP was released in Canada, although the track list does not reflect the number ones from that country,
as "Can't Buy Me Love" only reached #3 on the CHUM singles charts, and omits the Canadian #1 hits "All My Loving" and "This Boy".
The original issues of this album accidentally indicate the running time of "Yesterday" as being 1:04 in length.
Later issues have the correct 2:04 running time.

I ripped this myself using a technics direct drive SL-3200 in to a pioneer sx 2300 into a
sony stand alone cd recorder rcd-w500c Ripped to Flac 8 using eac
(Sorry I forgot to save the log file) To you enjoy.
Nothing was used to clean up this, this is a straight rip.
I thought I put this up before all the new Beatles remasters and rock band come out. A good 80s compilation.
Enjoy!
Let's hope that EMI / Capitol put out more of the U.S albums on cd such as yesterday and today and hey jude.
