The Beatles - Live: Before America, May 1963 - January 1964

Label: Purple Chick, PC-159/160

You probably don't need another live Beatles collection, but here's one anyway: every surviving non-radio performance between the Star Club and Ed Sullivan.

Carefully compiled and restored from the best sources we could find. As always, we didn't just copy the audio from the listed sources - instead, we tried to work some of our patented sonic magic when necessary. Of course, the quality still varies from dire to delightful, but you knew that already.

Anyway, enjoy this peek at the Beatles at their peak: before they landed in the U.S.A.
