1967–1970 (widely known as The Blue Album) is a compilation of many of The Beatles' most popular tracks from 1967 to 1970. It was released with 1962–1966 (The Red Album), which covered their earlier period. 1967–1970 made #1 on the U.S. Billboard chart and #2 on the U.K. Album Chart. This album was re-released in September 1993 charting at #4 in the UK.

The album was compiled by Beatles manager Allen Klein, with his selections approved by the Beatles themselves.[1] Songs performed by the Beatles as solo artists were also considered for inclusion, but like the cover songs on 1962–1966, limited space resulted in this idea having to be abandoned.

As with 1962–1966, this compilation was produced by Apple/EMI at least partially in response to a bootleg collection titled Alpha Omega, which had been sold on television the previous year.

Album covers

For the group's 1963 debut LP Please Please Me, photographer Angus McBean was asked to take the distinctive colour photograph of the group looking down over the stairwell inside EMI House (EMI's London headquarters in Manchester Square, now demolished).

In 1969, The Beatles asked McBean to recreate this shot. Although the 1969 photograph was originally intended for the then-planned Get Back album, it was not used when that project saw eventual release in 1970 as Let It Be. Instead, the 1969 photograph, along with an unused photograph from the 1963 photo shoot, was used for both this LP and 1962–1966.

The inner gatefold photo for both LPs is from the "Mad Day Out" photo session, London, 28 July 1968.

Notes

* On the original LP, "A Day in the Life" faded up out of its original cross-fade with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)". The original vinyl version faded out seven seconds earlier, due to time constraints. The CD version uses the same clean intro version from the 1988 Imagine: John Lennon soundtrack LP.
* The single versions of "Get Back" and "Let It Be" made their album debut with the original LP release. In the U.S., "Get Back" was erroneously listed as the album version on an insert sheet.
* The US version has "Penny Lane" and "Hello, Goodbye" in mono and "I Am The Walrus" with the four-beat intro. The 1993 CD release finds all three tracks in stereo, with "I Am The Walrus" having the same six-beat intro as the Magical Mystery Tour CD.
* "Hey Jude" fades out about 9 seconds earlier on the vinyl version, due to time constraints.
