I had burned my own copy of this lp a few years ago and was waiting for a legitimate release to come along. As soon as I opened the shipping box and seen the cover I knew I was had. The round sticker that you see in the picture that you can't read here, says it was taken from vinyl. This is NOT what I expected at all. I thought it was a legitimate release only available in Japan.

Not only does this release have "turntable rumble" and surface noise, just like a record L.P but there is also an "electrical hum" like there was some kind of interference during the vinyl dub to compact disc.

It's shame this is so poorly made because the cd design artwork re-creates the original album very well.

Don't buy this cd.

I tell to the Beatles fans all over the world who are checking this title at Amazon. This is bootleg, never released officially in Japan also any other countories. Obi is copied from Toshiba-EMI released vinyl. EMI & Apple never allow to release this legendary concerts. I hope Amazon doesn't sell pirat/bootleg CD. So many live bootleg CDs & DVDs.

I was born in 1974 and so my early years were shaped by the music that my older siblings were listening to. I grew up with "The Carpenters", "The Beatles" and the "BEE GEES" on my lips. My brother inherited the album collection, especially my Beatles collection of nearly 9 albums bought long before CD's came out. This album was one of my favourites. I loved the energy in the recording, and the jacket had lots of pictures and information about the group. It didn't matter to me that you heard the screaming fans in the background, and the members talking among themselves, it just added to the realism. I could close my eyes and pretend that I was there that night in the audience listening to them. I have searched for it on compact disc, to add to my growing Beatle collection. I hope someone takes note and releases it. I have seen some of the new compilations of Beatle music that I don't purchase because I have most of the original albums. So I hope to one day see this on cd. It's a great addition to your Beatle collection.

I purchased the album for my brother-in-law's birthday. It was in very good condition and we couldn't beat the price. The seller did a great job in packaging it, and sending it out promptly. The gift was well received. :)

I was so excited to see this album! I originally owned this album, back in 1977. It was my first Beatles album, and I absolutely fell in love with them. I played this album until it was too scratched and worn out to appreciate. To listen to the excitement of the crowd, recorded back in 1964 and 1965, was and still is incredible. It is by far my favorite Beatles album, and I am so glad to have another opportunity to own this treasure!
