''Past Masters, Volume Two'' is a compilation album by The Beatles released in 1988. It contains tracks from several Beatles Singles (including some B-side s) and one album track (the " Wildlife " version of " Across The Universe ") that were originally released between 1965 and 1970.

When the Beatles' albums were first released on Compact Disc , this collection (along with a second collection entitled '' Past Masters, Volume One '') was put together so that the Beatles' entire catalogue of released work would be available on CD. One American LP, '' Magical Mystery Tour '', was released on CD which include the Beatles' 1967 singles explaining why no 1967 recordings are included here. None of these songs (in the versions included on this album) are found on any of the Beatles' original non-compilation albums released in the UK up to 1970, although several songs feature on the U.S. compilation album '' Hey Jude ''.

This album was also released as a Double LP set combined with '' Volume One '', which meant the sides for this album were labelled as "3" and "4".
