Fab Four Forever
The greatest collection of Beatle music with experimental sounds and bewitching lyrics in such songs as Strawberry Fields Forever, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and I am the Walrus. Truly provocative.

MagnificentAbout the product, I love it. I bought it because I wanted to have the Blue Album of the Beatles.
As for the service, it was excellent. I received my album within five days of making my purchase through eBay, and I recommend others to buy because it is safe and easy. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I wll continue buying with eBay and its providers.

It's the Beatles.. what else is there?Review created: 06/04/07(updated 08/30/07)
by:
Although not the greatest Beatles release ever, the "Blue" Album does a great job of capturing a snap shot of 1967-1970 in the Beatles career. The inclusion of "Revolution" goes a long way to make this album excellent. Also, Ringo's only vocal of note on "With a Little Help From my Friends" and Lennon's dreamy tone on "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" elevate this CD into greatness.
Being born and bred in Liverpool, I admit that I am biased. If it was up to me, you'd buy every Beatles track ever produced. However, for those with only a passing interest in the Beatles, buy the Blue and Red Albums to capture most of those "radio sing-along" tracks you never got around to buying. For the Bealtes purist... look elsewhere.

The Beatles Blue AlbumReview created: 11/06/06
by:
This along with the red album(Beatles 62' to 66') are wonderful samplings of the tremendous body of work by the Beatles. This one is from the later years of The Beatles and contains some of thier best songs, including selections from many of Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums.

I loved the Beatles. I had purchased the album recenty in an antique store and had wanted to get it on CD. I was so surprised when I found it on e-bay. I bought it and was just delighted with it. I am in my fifties and I remember the Beatles as if they had only started playing yesterday. Thank you E-BAY for bringing back memories.

THE BEATLES 1967-19701 of 2 people found this review helpful.
It took three years after the break up of the Beatles for Apple Records to finally come out with a greatest hits package, and this The BEATLES 1967-1970 was by far the greatest collection of hits by the Beatles in the second volume of a two record set. It explored the studio years behind the Beatles music after the hectic tours earlier in the careers of the Fab Four. From their classic Sargent Pepper's album to the strange adventures of Magical Mystery Tour film and beyond.
The "solo" Beatles performances of the White Album right up until the very end with Abbey Road that was their true last album together in the studio as a band.
Let it Be was the album that marked the end of a musical era as the 1960's came to a close. This double "greatest hits" package has been dubbed the "blue album" by most Beatles fans. With classic hits such as All You Need is Love to Hey Jude was a sample of some of the 20 No. 1 best selling singles by the Fab Four to the album cuts such as the Day in the Life ( from Sgt Pepper) to While My Guitar Gentle Weeps (from The White Album), This later greatest hits package covers it all!

One of the BETTER Beatles cd I've heardReview created: 06/01/06

I purchased the cd 1967-1970 (Blue Album) - The Beatles for my husband. He was helping my daughter work on a history project and The Beatles was one of the topics she needed to research. She, being only 16, had no idea who the Beatles were and why they were so important in history. The research led us to talking about our favorite Beatles songs and that gave me the idea of trying to purchase atleast one cd for him. Its an awesome cd and most of their hits are on this. Well worth the effort it took to find it on eBay and the price I paid.

One of the greatest contributions to popular music.....Review created: 12/18/05
by:
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Spanning the Beatles' career from its glorious high-water mark to its bitter and plaintive end, this CD is perhaps the most essential item for any pop/rock collection.
Listen to the first few songs especially, and be prepared to be blown away, especially if you are not overly familiar with the group's work.
It starts with their first psychadelic single, "Strawberry Field Forever" (plus its double A-side, "Penny Lane"). Can you imagine a group today releasing a single with two such timeless and monumental songs on the same disc? It is questionable whether such a record will ever be released again. It's just a shame the British public didn't know what was good for them, instead keeping the Beatles off the No 1 spot in favour of Engelbert Humperdink's "Release Me"!
Next comes the first three songs from "Sgt Pepper", then "A Day in the Life", a song which totally transcends the pop or rock idiom, whilst avoiding pretentiousness or pomp. Follow this with "All You Need Is Love" and "I Am the Walrus", and you begin to see just how amazing the start of this record is. Each one of these songs is better than the best songs ever written by nearly every other group, and they're all here in sequence.
Inevitably things go slightly downhill from there on in, although still well worth the 5 star rating. There is "Lady Madonna", "Hey Jude", "Revolution" and many another such classic.
It is questionable why the compilers sought to add numbers such as "Old Brown Shoe" or "Octopus' Garden" - hardly amongst the group's best output. However, the quality rises again with the later more mature and less psychadelic songs, such as "Something" and "Let It Be".
The big omission from the Red and Blue albums is anything from "Revolver" (they only feature the "Eleanor Rigby/Yellow Submarine" single). Also, some fans would have preferred "Blackbird" to "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da". But minor quibbles apart, this CD is more than entertainment - it's a musical education. Almost every group since this work was released has drawn on it in some shape or form......................

Although my taste in music tends to go more toward the classical end of the spectrum, I do like a little bit of everything. Oh, all right, there are genres, such as hip-hop and anything that smacks of disco), that I don't like, but I do like some pop/rock acts, including Elton John, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, many doo-wop and early rock 'n' roll groups (The Platters, Del Shannon, Richie Valens, Bobby Darin), and even folk/country singers like John Denver and Johnny Cash. But if you asked me which rock group I listen to with any frequency, I'd answer very quickly and with heartfelt conviction:...

The Beatles! I was a 16 year old high school student in West Texas when the Beatle Invasion reached its first peak on the Ed Sullivan Show. Ol' Ed had seen numerous big time performers sing or play to a screaming audience but I don't believe he was prepared for Beatlemania. Who was? Besides being from the hinterlands, I was never much of a rock and roll fan until I started listening to The Beatles. I was and still am primarily a jazz fan. But I also recognize and enjoy good music. This CD is full of not just good music, but great music. The period I just discussed was, of course, the earlier..

Here we have another compilation of some of the best work from the Beatles. This two-disc set is the companion of another collection that covers the Beatles from 1962-1966. This one reveals the band in it's shaggier days from 1967-1970, and contains a lot of songs that either rely heavily on orchestration or serpentine, heavy blues. The Beatles, in my opinion, were nothing less than the greatest rock band of all time. I'm amazed at how good this music still sounds and the impact it has had on bands for the last 30 years or so. What we have here are songs from a period of time from 1967's Sgt..

What s this? I haven t written anything but beer reviews for some time, you may have noticed. I wrote a few music and movie reviews in my early days of epinions, but I think you d have to go back to December and before to find them. So why am I writing a review on a Beatles compilation? Well as much as I ve written about beer, I can say that I know more about the Beatles. I was checking around a few music reviews and epinions has inserted the footer in each review: Not for you? Try this . I ve seen that Beatles CD pop up so many times that I was tempted to give it a listen earlier today. Let..

Today would have been John Lennon's 60th birthday, so I decided to commemorate this event (and my 50th epinion) with a review of this incredible Beatles compilation. So many superlatives have been written about this band--younger listeners may not be familiar with some of the material from this era, which is often called The Beatles' psychedelic experimentation. Here's my take on the tracks I like best: When "Strawberry Fields Forever" was a hit, I was five going on six. I actually thought it was about an endless field--I took at at face value, since I was unaware of the notion of psychedelia.
