Original April 2, 1973 first pressing 2 x LP vinyl in gatefold cover that will include both blue LYRICS inner sleeve to the 28 songs featured...

You couldn't find a better 100+ minutes of music to listen to straight through than the superb 28 tracks that make up 'The Beatles 1967-1970'. THE "BLUE ALBUM" vividly traces the story of the Beatles development and is the companion piece to the 1962-1966 singles compilation. This set (often called "the blue album," as opposed to its chronological predecessor "the red album"), brings together the Beatles best known songs from 1967 through 1970. The Beatles were fiercely, relentlessly experimental during these years, and the swirling, visionary soundscapes of "Strawberry Fields Forever," which opens the collection, sets the tone with its effects-heavy production and backward tape loops. John Lennon's psychedelic songwriting, which emphasized crystalline melodies and surreal wordplay, can be heard on tracks like "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" and "Across the Universe." Paul McCartney's fascination with English music hall and novelty numbers is clear on "Penny Lane" and "Ob-la-Di, Ob-la-Da," and the set also has some of his finest ballads, including the mega-hits "Let It Be" and "Hey Jude." George Harrison emerged as a fine songwriting talent during these years with "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun." Yet despite evidence of their diverging individual directions, the Beatles still rock as a band on cuts like "Revolution." (The set includes the single versions of "Revolution," "Lady Madonna," and "Hey Jude"). ... The Beatles set the tenor of the late-'60s with this spectacular soundtrack, and it remains--even after years of overplaying--original, beautiful music. Featured within the 28 tracks are the band's biggest hits from their most creative years... tracks such as "Strawberry Fields Forever" (different version that the one on Magical Mystery Tour), "Penny Lane", "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", "A Day in the Life", "All You Need Is Love", "I Am the Walrus", "Hello Goodbye", "The Fool on the Hill", "Lady Madonna", "Hey Jude"... and that's just from the first record of this 2-record set.
