The Beatles 1967-1970...Blue Album?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I've got a Beatles CD that says "The Beatles / 1967-1970" on the disc (I don't have the jewel-case and associated info that would come with that)...It's one CD and has 23 tracks...but from searching the internet and music databases extensively for hours on end (literally!), it doesn't exist! Technically, it should be the Blue Album, but that is divided into either 4 or 2 disc sets.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I'm currently working my way through a database of 562 pages, currently up to page 100...it's gonna take hours!!! 

Why the bloody hell would they manufacture an album that doesn't exist?? 

Here's the tracklisting provided on the actual disc:

1. Hey Jude
2. Get Back
3. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
4. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
5. Octopus's Garden
6. Lady Madonna
7. Revolution
8. Strawberry Fields Forever
9. Penny Lane
10. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
11. Don't Let Me Down
12. All You Need Is Love
13. Something
14. Here Comes The Long (yes, a misprint, should be "Sun")
15. It Won't Be Long
16. No Reply 
17. Twist And Shout
18. Rock And Roll Music
19. I'll Follow The Sun
20. Across The Universe
21. The Ballad Of John & Yoko
22. P.S I Love You (No Blue Album version I've discovered has this song)
23. The Long And Winding Road

	Well, it can't be the Blue album as that wouldn't have had the older tracks such as "No Reply". Sounds like you have a dodgy CD there. I'm not aware of this CD, or any one with such a bizarre track listing which is almost chronological but then leaps back 6 years or so to "It won't be long". I can't imagine EMI officially releasing a CD with such a bad typo on either.

	The tracks are not all produced by George Martin either. The "Let It Be" ones are by Phil Spector.
