| | Beatles - 1967-1970 : The Blue Album (2 CD) (Music CD) | |
Description
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 song writing,
which emphasised 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 song writing
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.
