''Past Masters'' is a [[GreatestHitsAlbum compilation album]] by Music/TheBeatles, released in 1988. Released one year after a massive reissue campaign that brought the iconic Liverpool quartet's UK studio album backlog (plus the US version of ''Music/MagicalMysteryTour'') to the UsefulNotes/CompactDisc format for the first time, it marks the culmination of the first phase of the ongoing second wave of Beatlemania that ensued in the wake of Music/JohnLennon's murder at the start of the decade. In this sense, it's The Beatles' version of Music/NewOrder's ''Music/{{Substance|NewOrderAlbum}}'' singles compilation released the previous year.

* In the British music industry in the 1960s it was commonplace for singles to be released only as singles, not appearing on an artist's albums. So the bulk of the Beatles' singles, including many of their most famous songs such as "She Loves You" and "Hey Jude", do not appear on any of their thirteen studio albums.[[note]]Exceptions include "Please Please Me", which appears on the ''Music/PleasePleaseMe'' album; "Yesterday" which was not released as a single in Britain but appeared on ''Music/{{Help}}''; the 1967 singles--"Strawberry Fields Forever", "Penny Lane", and "All You Need Is Love"--which were later added to ''Music/MagicalMysteryTour''; and "Come Together"/"Something" from ''Music/AbbeyRoad'', released together as a double-A side single[[/note]]
