Description
1967–1970 (widely known as The Blue Album) is a vinyl compilation of songs by The Beatles. It was released with 1962–1966 (The Red Album), in 1973. 1967–1970 made number 1 on the American Billboard chart and number 2 on the British Album Chart. This copy is an original factory sample complete with ‘Not For Sale’ sticker on rear cover.
The album was compiled by Beatles manager Allen Klein and along with its 1962–1966 counterpart, it compiles every single A-side released by the band in the UK.
In 1969, The Beatles asked photographer Angus McBean to recreate his famous photo used in The Red Album.
The inner gatefold photo for both LPs is by Don McCullin from the Mad Day Out photo session in London on Sunday 28 July 1968. The album cover was designed by Tom Wilkes.
