Brief Album Description:
1967–1970 (widely known as "The Blue Album") is a compilation of songs by the English rock band The Beatles, spanning the years
indicated in the title. 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 album was re-released in September 1993 on CD, charting at number 4 in the United
Kingdom. The album was compiled by Beatles manager Allen Klein. 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. Along with its
1962–1966 counterpart, it compiles every single A-side released by the band in the UK. 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. Print advertising for the two records made a point of declaring them "the only authorized collection of the Beatles."
